Reported by Manoj Kumar Ojha
Guwahati: The All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) has flagged issues in the implementation of the Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUGP) in Assam.
The organisation alleged that inadequate infrastructure, shortage of faculty, and policy ambiguities have left thousands of students facing academic uncertainty.
In a memorandum submitted to Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday, AASU sought urgent government intervention to prevent what it described as a potential crisis in higher education.
AASU expressed concern over the research component in the fourth year.
It stated that most colleges lack the infrastructure, qualified supervisors, and academic environment required for undergraduate research.
It said that clear guidelines have not yet been issued by the authorities despite the ongoing transition.
