Gujarat Education Department has recently announced a common academic calendar for the upcoming academic year 2024-25, impacting the schedule for universities and colleges in the state. According to the revised calendar, the new academic session for government universities and affiliated colleges will commence from June 24, 2024, instead of the usual July start date.
This change in the academic calendar will result in a shorter summer vacation of 49 days for the academic year 2025. The decision to revise the calendar has been made to ensure a more streamlined and organized academic schedule for all institutions in the state.
The new academic calendar is expected to bring about greater uniformity in the academic schedule, allowing students and faculty members to plan their activities more effectively. The Gujarat Education Department has urged all universities and colleges to adhere to the revised calendar and make the necessary adjustments to their schedules.
The decision to commence the new academic session earlier than usual has been met with mixed reactions from students and faculty members. While some have expressed concerns about the shorter summer vacation, others have welcomed the change, citing the benefits of a more organized academic schedule.
Despite the mixed reactions, the Gujarat Education Department remains committed to implementing the revised academic calendar, with the aim of improving the overall quality of education in the state.
