The Story in Brief
Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has opened applications for nine one-year master's programmes, exclusively for graduates of the Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP). The courses, M.A. in Economics, Sociology, History, English, Hindi, Sanskrit, Urdu, Journalism & Mass Communication, and M.Com., are designed under the National Education Policy 2020. Times Now News reports that the initiative follows a UGC notification allowing recognised universities to offer one-year PG programmes in the same discipline as the FYUP. Eligible candidates must apply through IGNOU's official admission portal.
The Indian Opinion
The one-year master's is billed as a flexible, NEP-friendly fast track. But critics worry it may short-change depth. The rule is clear: only students who have completed a four-year bachelor's can apply, they have already spent an extra year on their undergraduate degree. The real test will be how many students actually enrol. If applications are high, the model will prove its worth. If low, it may show that employers and students still value a standard two-year PG.
