In line with the National Education Policy, Delhi University, and Panjab University, Chandigarh will introduce a one-year postgraduate programme starting in 2026 for the former and 2025 for the latter.
The draft proposal will be discussed at the Academic Council meeting scheduled for December 27, according to the agenda to be tabled for the meeting.
Several changes have been incorporated into the plan, but some teachers have criticised the move, alleging it is being rushed for discussion.
DU has already implemented a four-year undergraduate programme, with the third semester underway. In PU, multiple departments are already engaged in framing of syllabi and coursework for the new courses.
Under this framework, students exiting after the first year receive a certificate, those leaving after the second year are awarded a diploma, and those completing three years obtain a degree. Students who complete the fourth year earn a degree with honours.
After three years, students can opt for a two-year PG course, while those completing four years can enrol in the one-year PG programme.
