Karnataka reverts to 3-year UG course, scraps NEP’s 4-year degree
The decision follows an interim report by the Karnataka State Education Policy Commission, chaired by Prof Sukhdev Thorat. However, the govt is yet to take a decision on the multiple entry-exit options that allow students to earn a certificate after the first year, a diploma after the second, a degree after the third, and an honours at the end of the fourth year.
Colleges can now choose from three options for their UG curriculum. They can offer three majors in all six semesters; or three majors up to the fourth semester and specialisation in one subject in the fifth and sixth semesters; or a single-subject specialisation from the first semester itself.
Though the govt had time and again reiterated that Karnataka would have its own State Education Policy, these are the first concrete measures to be announced under it.

Karnataka govt limits degrees to 3 years, awaiting entry/exit decision. No impact on current students. Changes for 2024-25 admissions. Thorat Commission to recommend curriculum structure based on historical experience.
Change in degree: UG courses in three new formats, two-language policy will continue
