UGC Wednesday asked institutions to make courses available via govt platform SWAYAM. Academics question move, citing issues like need for classroom instruction & lack of infrastructure.
Under the new programme that has been designed by IGNOU, 50% of the credits required for a graduate degree will come from the in-skill training received under 'Agnipath' scheme.
The decision comes weeks after the UGC chief announced that CUET scores, not Class 12 scores, would be mandatory for admission to 45 central universities.
While private school students are dropping out to enroll in crash courses for CUET, those who cannot afford these coaching classes feel they are at a disadvantage.
According to draft UGC regulations, higher education institutions in India can collaborate with foreign counterparts for credit recognition and transfer, twinning arrangements.
UGC Wednesday sent official guidelines on its proposed two-degree programme, a policy change that will allow students to pursue two degrees at once, to colleges and universities.
UGC has been planning this move for a long time, received a go-ahead for it in 2020. Guidelines were finalised and made official Tuesday by UGC chairman M. Jagadesh Kumar.
UGC guidelines, titled ‘Transforming higher education institutes into multidisciplinary institutions’, were put up on regulator's website last month, open to public feedback until 20 March.
