FYUP are expected to be implemented across all central universities in the country soon. Meanwhile, the Education Ministry has also asked the Vice Chancellors of these institutes to formulates plans for the implementation of the new initiative.  The Education Ministry wants that the discussion should now begin on 3- and 4-year graduation and another 2-year PG in all 45 central universities of the country, so that the process of implementation gets started.

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said that this time under the new education policy, there is a 3-year degree course, a 4-year degree course in alternative, and similarly, the degree course in post-graduation is of two year and one year. The Minister told the vice-chancellors of all central universities that "you have autonomy on how to do this. It is up to you how you will roll it out. By next year, everyone should decide their own process on this subject". 
The Ministry of Education, however, said that even as the process takes time, the system has to be taken forward.
