Kolkata: Authorities of state universities in West Bengal have expressed doubts about completing the undergraduate curriculum of the 2020-21 academic year within nine months from November 1, as recommended by the UGC. The 2021-22 academic year is likely to begin from August 30 next year.
The authorities, however, said they will have to chalkout a way to complete the curriculum after the final semester examinations scheduled in October. The University Grants Commission (UGC), in a recent advisory, recommended that admissions to first year undergraduate courses be completed by October 31 and classes positively start from November 1 for the 2020-21 academic year.
“Even if classes are held six days a week, it will be difficult to complete the entire curriculum within nine months in the present semester-based system,” a senior Jadavpur University official told.
