FYUGP - Four Year Undergraduate Programme

Gauhati University

Four Year Undergraduate Programme

Duration: 4 Years

As per UGC’s Curricular Framework (November 2022) the FYUGP replaces the traditional 3-year CBCS-based Bachelor's Degree system and introduces a flexible 4-year degree structure focused on multidisciplinary learning, multiple exits, and student choice. Under the GU-FYUGP a student can get a ‘Degree in a Discipline’ in 28 different disciplines including 22 Vocational Disciplines.

• Core Courses with a minimum of 84 credits and Common Courses credits of 36 (in a 3-year programme).
• No Majors or Minors.
• Students study certain pre-defined courses designed for the respective discipline.

Any prospective student willing to take admission into the FYUGP under GU will need to have qualified the subject-prerequisites (i.e. subjects s/he MUST have studied and passed at Class X / XII-level). When a student takes admission into the FYUGP under GU, s/he will necessarily choose some Core Subjects. However some Core Subjects have certain requirements (or constraints) besides the prerequisites. To know more about your subject related prerequisites and constraints, follow the following link:
