of the 1985 regulations for the minimum requirements for the 1st degree, no university is
allowed to enrol candidates for one sitting B.A. degree course from the year 1996-97 onwards.
Representations were received from many candidates was decided that the candidates already
enrolled should complete their degree by the year 1998-99. The universities violating this
decision may be debarred from receiving plan assistance from the commission. The degrees
of the candidates enrolled for the one-time Bachelor’s Degree programme, upto the year
1995-96 may be treated as valid. The degree of the candidates declared valid may be treated
