Hello
The move comes after the commission noticed that the university had allegedly violated the UGC (Open and Distance Learning Programmes and Online Programmes) Regulations, 2020, in running its distance education programmes.
The decision comes in the wake of the changes in the guidelines of the National Skill Qualifications Framework (NSQF).
The emphasis will be on enhancing employability for these two years. As there are multiple-entry-exit options, this internship would be sufficient for students who discontinue their studies after three years.
The professors claimed that a full-time degree programme needs full-time attention and efforts while others noted that the flexibility will also be offered by the Four Year Undergraduate Programme to a larger extent.
The University Grants Commission (UGC) will soon issue detailed guidelines in this regard and the option will be available to students from the 2022-23 academic session.
According to norms, no higher educational institution can offer any open and distance learning programmes and admit learners unless they are granted recognition by the Commission.
UGC chairman M Jagadesh Kumar said the Common University Entrance Test, in all likelihood, will be conducted in the first week of July.
The UGC authorities has reportedly started primary discussions with law colleges that offer LLB and LLM courses.
The draft document was recently released by the University Grants Commission (UGC) as part of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. When the NEP is finalised, the higher education institutes across the country would be brought under a new framework.
The online applications could be submitted at www.ideku.net from November 1.
