The duration of the BA course is currently three years. Adding Honors will change to four years. Subjects going to be designed to be more in-depth, to be studied. Varsity professors say this will increase perfection in the student even at the degree stage. The duration of the post-graduate course will be reduced from two years to one year after completion of Honors. Proposals for this course were made in 2020. It did not move forward due to Covid. Now it’s going to speed up. Professor Gopal Reddy, a member of the University Grants Commission (UGC), said honors could be mandatory everywhere in the future.
