Adding test centres in Jaipur and Dehradun is a great step for accessibility. Students from smaller towns often miss out on good universities because they can't afford to travel to Delhi just for an entrance exam. Hope more central universities follow this model.

While the no-fee-hike is commendable, I notice many of the new courses are "Self Financed." These usually have much higher fees than regular courses. The article doesn't mention those fee structures. It's a bit misleading to celebrate "no fee hike" without full transparency on the cost of these new programs.

The focus on languages like Japanese, German, and Uzbek is very interesting and forward-thinking. It aligns with India's growing global ties. A BA in Uzbek Studies is a niche but potentially very valuable degree given our strategic interests in Central Asia.

Finally, proper implementation of NEP 2020 with the 4-year undergraduate program and multiple entry/exit! This flexibility is crucial. Students can work part-time or pursue other interests without losing their academic year. Big thumbs up from a current student's perspective.

The new courses in Child Guidance Counselling (RCI approved) and Social Work are much needed in our society. Hope they attract good candidates. Education should also be about building a compassionate nation, not just tech jobs. Good balance seen here.
