Continuing the chain of building transformative educational setup, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has introduced the “Academic Bank of Credits” (ABC). It helps the faculty to manage and check the credits earned by students.
"It has come to the notice of the UGC that a number of institutions are offering degrees in contrary to the provisions of the UGC Act. Degrees awarded by such universities shall neither be recognised nor valid for higher education or employment purpose. These universities are not empowered to confer any degree," UGC secretary Manish Joshi said.
In a letter to vice-chancellors of all universities and principals of colleges, the UGC has asked the HEIs to share information senior officers or professors working/ retired up to the age of 65 years in level 13 A and above (as per 7 CPC).
It is vital for higher educational institutions to prepare the course structure, syllabus, and course material in various Indian languages which will automatically instil the universities to provide the facility to students to write examinations in one’s own mother tongue or local language.
In 2018, the UGC set the criteria for recruitment for entry-level posts at universities and colleges. It gave a three-year window to candidates to complete their PhDs and asked all universities and colleges to start applying the criteria for recruitment from the 2021-22 academic session.
UGC Chairman said that any shortage in the availability of faculty members in higher educational institutions adversely affects the teaching-learning ecosystem.
The purpose of these guidelines for incorporating the Indian Knowledge System into higher curricula is to provide a roadmap for systematic study and research of various disciplines of IKS.
A student may be considered for the award of a qualification (like a certificate/diploma/degree) once the required number of credits have been earned, irrespective of the minimum duration of the programme.
UGC constituted an expert committee to review and revise the Regulations following the announcement of the National Education Policy 2020 and in order to make the Regulations simple.
The NTA has decided to give the first and final opportunity in view of the numerous representations received from the candidates regarding giving them an opportunity to edit/modify their particulars in the online application form.
The UGC has taken a decision to check violations in the appointment of teachers and award of PhD degrees in higher educational institutions (HEIs)
The higher education regulator said that students being the centre of these transformative reforms, it is equally crucial that they are involved in implementing NEP 2020.
The exam began on Sunday. CUET-UG Phase one is being conducted in 271 cities and more than 447 centres from May 21 to 25. The exams are being held in three shifts. The total number of candidates scheduled in shift 1 was 87,879; in shift 2, 87,903 students appeared and in the third shift which was organised in 458 centres, 89,466 students took the exam.
As per the NTA, the CUET (UG) - 2023 will be conducted in Computer Based Test (CBT) Mode for about 14.99 lakh candidates at various examination centres located in 295 cities across India and abroad.
The pass percentage and number of students scoring above 90 per cent and 95 per cent in CBSE class 12 declined this year, kickstarting a debate about whether the introduction of the CUET has taken the focus off board exams and will end up making them redundant in the longer run.
