Experts fear NEP’s multiple entry, exit system may increase dropouts

The Hindu  

With the National Education Policy of India allowing multiple entry and exits for undergraduate programmes from the 2021-22 academic year, education experts and lecturers are worried that it may encourage students to drop out midway through the programme. While this move is likely to help students who want to continue their studies later, education experts and lecturers feel that it could also lead to students dropping out after the first or second year. “Students particularly from low-income families may opt to drop out after the first or second year as they will get a certificate or a diploma. Counselling A principal of a government first grade degree college said that the Department of Higher Education must insist that students who choose to drop out undergo counselling to understand why they are taking this decision.
