All central universities should adopt CUET-PG: UGC chief M Jagadesh Kumar

University Grants Commission (UGC) Chief M Jagadesh Kumar on Tuesday urged all central universities to adopt the Common University Entrance Test Postgraduate (CUET-PG) from the next academic session. Unlike CUET-UG, the PG edition of the crucial entrance exam is not mandatory for central universities. "As you are aware, CUET provides a common platform and equal opportunities to candidates across the country, especially those from North-East, rural, and other remote areas and helps to establish better connections with the Universities. A single examination enables the candidates to cover a broad outreach and be part of the admission process to various Central and participating universities," Kumar said. The CUET-PG will be conducted from June 1 to 10 for academic year 2023-24. "The National Testing Agency (NTA) has been entrusted with the responsibility of conducting the CUET-UG and PG. All central universities should join CUET-PG just as they have done for CUET-UG, it will enhance

Jamia Milia sets up panel to look into implementation of UGC directive

Jamia Millia Islamia has set up a committee to look into implementation of the University Grants Commission's directive on rolling out four-year undergraduate honours degrees from the next academic session, a senior university official has said. The committee's report will be presented during a meeting of the Academic Council in January following which the Executive Council, the varsity's highest decision-making body, will take up the matter. At present, students become eligible for an honours degree after completing a three-year undergraduate programme. "We have formed a committee to look into implementation of the University Grants Commission (UGC) directives on four-year undergraduate degrees. The committee is looking into the matter and it is expected to submit a report in this regard soon," Registrar Nazim Husain Al-Jafri said. The committee is strategising ways to divide the three-year syllabus into four years, he added. "The Academic Council will discuss the matter during a

3-yr UG courses won't be suspended till 4-yr programme fully executed: UGC

Three-year undergraduate courses will not be discontinued till the four-year undergraduate programme is fully implemented, University Grants Commission Chairman M Jagadesh Kumar said. The new credit and curriculum framework for undergraduate courses was announced earlier this week and it defines Honours degree courses as a four-year programme. However, Kumar clarified that universities can choose between the three and four year programmes. "It is left to the universities," he said in an interview with PTI on Wednesday. He was asked whether it is mandatory for universities to migrate to the four-year pattern for Honours degrees. The University Grants Commission (UGC) chairman also said candidates with four-year undergraduate degrees can directly pursue Ph.D and they will not require a Master's degree. Describing the benefits of the four-year undergraduate programme (FYUP), Kumar said, "The first advantage is that they do not have to do a Master's degree to join a Ph.D programme. Th

UGC new draft norms: UG 'honours' degree only after completing 4 years

Students will be able to get an undergraduate 'honours' degree only after completing four years instead of three, according to new draft norms prepared by the University Grants Commission (UGC).

The University Grants Commission (UGC) on Wednesday sought a report from GD Goenka University in Haryana's Sohna on clashes between Indian and Nigerian students on campus, according to officials. The UGC also directed the university to ensure such incidents do not recur.
