can i get a bachelors degree after 3 years (for applying to government jobs that needs degree certificate) and still continue pursuing the 4th year for getting bachelors with honours degree, if exam not cleared as a safe side ?

Dear student,

You are asking if you can you get a 3-year Bachelor's for government jobs and still pursue the 4th year for Honours. Correct?

The answer is complex and depends heavily on the specific university's regulations and how they are implementing the NEP 2020. Here's a breakdown of possibilities:

Under NEP 2020 Framework (Likely Scenario):

~Yes, it is potentially possible. The NEP 2020 emphasizes multiple exit options. If your university is following this, completing three years might allow you to exit with a Bachelor's degree.

~You might be able to re-enter or continue for the fourth year to pursue the Honours degree if you meet the academic criteria set by the university for the Honours program.

However, the degree awarded after three years might be a "Bachelor's degree" without the "Honours" designation. To get the "Honours" degree, you would typically need to complete the full four years with the required specialization and potentially a research component.

Note* - The rules for transitioning back for the fourth year will vary. You would need to check your university's specific guidelines on this. There might be a time limit for re-entry, specific academic performance requirements in the first three years, or a formal application process.
