The University Grants Commission (UGC) will announce the Four-Year Under-Graduate Programme (FYUP) by Monday. It will be adopted in higher education institutions from 2023-24 academic session.<br />''<br />''The FYUP will split the four-year UG degree into parts and provide different entry and exit options to students. UGC Chairman Prof. M Jagadesh Kumar said the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 recommends that the higher education system should enable student to study one or more specialised areas of interest at a deep level and also develop capabilities in disciplines including sciences, social sciences,  humanities, languages and vocational subjects.<br />''<br />''Accordingly, it suggests that the existing Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) to be revised to instil innovation and flexibility.<br />''<br />''Prof. Kumar said that although the existing CBCS allows students to choose from various disciplines but it lacks a multi and interdisciplinary flavour. He added that students who are pursuing a three-year UG programme as per the existing CBCS are also eligible to pursue a four-year programme. <br />
