Mumbai’s education landscape is set for significant change in the coming year. One of the biggest shifts will come with the roll out of the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

From 2026, autonomous colleges across the city will, for the first time, offer a fourth year in undergraduate programmes. Students enrolled in multidisciplinary colleges will have the option to exit arts, science and commerce courses after three years with a regular degree, or continue for a fourth year to earn an honours degree.
