In a letter to HRD Minister M M Pallam Raju, Jaitley has raised certain questions on the move, pointing that the university has not taken all aspects and opinions into consideration before making the decision.
The BJP leader said that though it is the discretion of the academic community to decide the duration of the courses, he is "constrained" to make some observations about this plan.

He further maintained that the impact of a three-year course becoming a four-year one in terms of the socio-economic realities of India has not been factored.
"It has not been discussed why the switch over to the four-year course is for one university and does not apply to other universities," Jaitley said.
The BJP leader suggested that introduction of four-year graduation course be deferred for some time and extensive discussion be held amongst the academic community before the decision is implemented.
