India introduces flexible degree programs to shorten or extend undergraduate study durations.

The University Grants Commission in India has approved new programs allowing undergraduate students to either shorten or extend their degree durations. The Accelerated Degree Programme (ADP) lets students complete their degrees faster by taking more credits, while the Extended Degree Programme (EDP) allows for a slower pace. Both programs will issue degrees equivalent to standard duration degrees for academic and job purposes. The draft norms are open for public feedback.
