Statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct.
The New Education Policy (NEP) 2020 sets a target to increase the Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in higher education to 50% by 2035. It promotes broad-based, multi-disciplinary, and holistic undergraduate education. A key feature is the establishment of an Academic Bank of Credit (ABC) to facilitate credit transfer and flexibility.
Statement 4 is incorrect. The NEP 2020 explicitly provides for multiple entry and exit options within undergraduate programmes, allowing students to leave and rejoin their studies at various points and receive appropriate certification (e.g., Certificate after one year, Diploma after two years, Bachelor’s degree after three years, Bachelor’s with research after four years).
