Lucknow University finalises 4-year undergraduate course in accordance with NEP 2020

The four-year course will be divided into eight semesters – each having 24 credits – with the total of 192 credits. After every year (two semesters), there will be an option for the students to exit, take a break and join after a gap to complete the course.

Lucknow University has announced that it has finalised the four-year undergraduate course that has been structured in accordance with the new National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The course has been designed to make learning fun for students by providing them the opportunity to learn and acquire skills from a wide range of topics, covering all aspects of life – from traditional subjects, interdisciplinary research and vocational training to learning music, arts and social work.

The new structure will be implemented in LU and its 524 affiliated colleges in Lucknow, Rae Bareli, Hardoi, Sitapur and Lakhimpur Kheri districts covering over two lakh students from the next academic session starting September.

The four-year course will be divided into eight semesters – each having 24 credits – with the total of 192 credits. After every year (two semesters), there will be an option for the students to exit, take a break and join after a gap to complete the course. Depending on the duration of the course studied, a student will get certificate, diploma or a degree.
“This means that even a year’s study will not go waste. A student will get employment despite leaving the course midway. The new structure also involves massive open online courses,” said dean, students’ welfare, Poonam Tandon.
“Currently, a student gets a degree only after completing a three years’ course. Dropping midway means no benefit at all,” she added.
In the first four semesters, a student will be allowed to study the core subjects of her/his choice along with the electives from another stream, besides vocational courses, internship and co-curricular activities.
However, the last two semesters will be dedicated to thorough study, research and specialisation on the core subject opted by the student. NCC and NSS will also be a part of the curriculum.
