The four-year undergraduate program (FYUP) of the Indira Gandhi National University (IGNOU) was introduced today by Mamidala Jagadesh Kumar, Chairman of the University Grants Commission (UGC).

Whether pursuing these courses as part of a regular program or opting for a simultaneous UG degree in a different discipline, IGNOU’s FYUP offers a myriad of possibilities for students. The programmes launched today include Bachelor of Commerce (BCOMF), Bachelor of Arts (Economics), Bachelor of Arts (History), Bachelor of Arts (Political Science), Bachelor of Arts (Psychology), Bachelor of Arts (Public Administration), Bachelor of Arts (Sociology), Bachelor of Arts (Anthropology), Bachelor of Science (Biochemistry), Bachelor of Arts (English), Bachelor of Arts (Hindi), Bachelor of Arts (Sanskrit), Bachelor of Arts (Urdu), Bachelor of Social Work, Bachelor of Arts (Facilities and Service Management), Bachelor of Arts (Philosophy), and Bachelor of Arts ( Journalism and Digital Media)
Saying that the FYUP is an essential reform in Indian higher education and students from across the country will have the opportunity to enrol in IGNOU’s FYUP, the UGC Chairman in a social media post said: “Many of IGNOU’s courses are also available on SWAYAM. Whether a student wants to take these courses as part of their regular programme or wants to do a simultaneous UG degree in a different discipline than their primary discipline, the opportunities for the students are aplenty.”
At the National Seminar on G20 Presidency and India’s Global Leadership Role, FYUP in IGNOU was introduced. The principal guest in attendance was the chairman of UGC.
The New Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has led to the implementation of the FYUP. Students can choose to follow a three-year or four-year honors program with or without research under FYUP, which also institutes credit scores for all courses.
