KSOU Admission 2024 New NEP Guideline
- Karnataka State Open University has made various changes in its policy according to NEP 2020. The policy allows students to choose subjects and academic programs, where it added a multidisciplinary education to learning with multiple entry and exit points. KSOU implements this by offering multiple entry and exit options for postgraduate programs, which allow students to exit after the first year with a Post-Graduate Diploma.
- Additionally, KSOU’s credit system allows students to pursue various undergraduate and postgraduate programs at the same moment. However the multiple entry and exit choice benefits students who want to discontinue their studies temporarily and wish to restart their leftover education to achieve their career goals.
