LU 1st university in country to start 1-yr PG course under NEP
Lucknow: The Lucknow University has become the first university in India to fully implement a one-year postgraduate programme under the National Education Policy. Tailored for students who have completed a four-year UG degree with research, the programme is divided into two semesters and includes 20 academic credits. Its structure emphasises flexibility, interdisciplinarity and outcome-based learning, in alignment with NEP's vision for holistic and efficient higher education, officials said. The decision to implement this programme was formally confirmed during the executive council meeting on Saturday, following a year-long academic and administrative preparation. While the ordinance for the one-year PG structure was approved in Aug 2024, it took a year to complete the development of the academic framework, course design and departmental readiness. The university is now ready to admit students to this new programme. To support learners under this model, several academic schemes have been introduced. Under the Choice-Based Credit System (CBCS), students can choose from a wide range of core, elective and open courses, enabling them to shape their academic journey according to their goals. The curriculum also encourages interdisciplinary learning, allowing students to select subjects beyond their primary field of study. Credit transfer flexibility enables students to complete part of their coursework through national platforms like SWAYAM or other UGC-recognised institutions. The programme offers skill-based and value-added courses such as academic writing, data analysis, entrepreneurship and foreign languages. Dedicated faculty mentors will guide students in course selection, research planning and academic development, officials said. This course not only provides a faster and research driven alternative to the traditional two-year model but also aligns well with international standards, supporting students aiming to pursue higher education abroad or enter the global job market, officials said. "This one-year PG programme is a landmark step in implementing the true spirit of NEP 2020," said LU spokesperson Durgesh Srivastava.
