The undergraduate and postgraduate studies are the two different education categories in India. These two categories are further divided into various streams. Undergraduate studies are those which prepare the student for his future career. In contrast, postgraduate studies provide them with advanced degrees such as Master’s, Doctorate, and Ph.D. degrees. 

In India, many universities offer UG and PG academic programs. The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) is one of the best engineering colleges in India. Many other universities like IISc Bangalore offer good quality programs like MSc Computer Science, MSc Biotechnology, etc. 

Undergraduate courses cover basic subjects like Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry, among others. Courses offered by university include BSc Computers Science, BA English Literature, BA Political Science, etc. Postgraduate courses include MS Computer Science, MS Biotechnology, etc. 

1. Undergraduate and postgraduate studies in India are two different types of degrees. The main difference between undergraduate and postgraduate studies is that the former does not require any previous knowledge of a subject, whereas the latter requires knowledge of a subject. 
2. Universities offer an undergraduate degree after the completion of 12 years. It is equivalent to a two-year diploma or bachelor’s degree. A student who has cleared the entrance exam for an undergraduate course must complete an additional three years to earn a bachelor’s degree. 
3. The course structure for undergraduate courses varies from one university to another but typically includes subjects such as physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, etc. 
4. Post-graduation in India means that you have completed your studies and are looking for employment opportunities in your field of study. Most post-graduation courses are dual credits (equivalent to one semester) or shorter in duration than those offered by colleges or universities in India. 

They are known as Bachelor’s degree programs: 

A Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree is required for admission to a first-professional program in the University. The BA degree typically requires four years of study and is structured as follows: 

1. First year: foundational courses, including mathematics, English and history 
2. Second year: major courses and electives 
3. Third year: additional major courses or other related course work to complete the major requirements 
4. Fourth year: comprehensive examinations or thesis/project (if applicable*) 

Students may choose to complete a thesis/project during their fourth year if they wish to pursue this option. A thesis/project must be approved by their academic dean before being submitted for examination. Thesis/projects are completed in consultation with a faculty advisor. 

Undergraduate and postgraduate study provides a range of opportunities for you to develop your knowledge, skills and abilities in a wide range of areas. You will be encouraged to consider a range of options for further education and training as well as professional development. 

Your course will enable you to develop your skills in areas including: 

• business, accounting, management and marketing; 
• humanities; 
• engineering; 
• health and social care; 
• law; 
• technology; 
• teaching; 
• Designing.

The PG certification course is for candidates who have completed their degree and are looking to become a professional in their field. Candidates must be able to demonstrate proficiency in English, mathematics, science and communication skills. The exam consists of multiple-choice questions that test the candidate’s knowledge of various aspects of the profession. 

The eligibility criteria for the PG certification course includes: 

1. Holders of a Bachelor’s degree with at least two years of work experience 
2. Holders of a Master’s degree with at least two years of work experience 
3. Holders of other academic qualifications such as MBA, MSc or PhD (post-doctoral) degrees may also be eligible to apply if they have a minimum of seven years’ work experience in the field. 

The time taken to complete a UG course depends on the course and the duration. It is generally said that a three-year degree takes four years to complete, but this is not true for most courses. 
 
The majority of UG courses require three years to complete and will award you a Bachelor’s degree after the completion of these three years. However, there are some courses which have been designed to be completed in one year or less. These are known as short courses or fast track courses. 

Exams for the PG Certification course will be held in January and July of each year. Max. Graduate in any discipline or fourth and fifth year students of a five-year integrated LLB program who have completed three years. Degrees in science/technology/medicine, law, and fourth and fifth year integrated LL.B. students who completed three years.
