The University Grants Commission (UGC) has given its gesture to a recommendation that will presently permit students to seek after two instructive degrees (dual degree) simultaneously.
The commission in its most recent gathering endorsed synchronous double degrees for understudies in India, permitting understudies to finish courses in the equivalent or various streams simultaneously. One of the two degrees, nonetheless, must be through ordinary mode and different must be through online separation learning (ODL).
Affirming the turn of events, UGC secretary Rajnish Jain, “The double degree program in India, where students are permitted to get two degrees at the same time
This has been endorsed by the commission in its most recent gathering. A notice with respect to a similar will be given soon.”
Indian advanced education foundations right now offer coordinated degrees like a B.Tech with MS, which joins undergrad and postgraduate projects and lessens the time span for the course.
A B.Tech + MS degree for example is a five-year course, which would have taken six years if the projects were sought.
The dual degree that the UGC has now affirmed will currently permit, for instance, a designing understudy to at the same time take on a financial aspects or a brain science course or a writing understudy to seek after a political theory course.
Clarifying the choice further, UGC bad habit director Bhushan Patwardhan disclosed that the commission had taken popular feeling before giving an approval to the program.
“We had requested input from the general population about the double degree program and in their answers, individuals disclosed to us that they think having a double degree program was a forward-looking and an understudy neighborly thought. It would give more choices to understudies as far as vocation decisions,” Patwardhan said.
He featured the main condition to seeking after double degrees — one course must be done through ordinary mode and the other one through separation mode.
“According to UGC guidelines, least level of participation is required for an understudy to achieve a degree, which is the reason it is essential that an understudy seeks after one degree through ordinary mode and another through separation learning,” he included.
