The University Grants Commission (UGC) will soon bring out a curriculum for postgraduate courses. The draft framework for the curriculum was approved by the UGC earlier this month and the UGC plans to invite feedback from various stakeholders on it. The curriculum, in line with the National Education Policy (NEP), offers flexibility to students to move from one discipline of study to another.
It also provides the option for a PG diploma if a student wants to dropout after completing one year. For students who completed four years’ degree, the PG course will be for one year and the two-year PG course will be continued for students who passed three-year degree courses. Students can also opt for PG in any subjects they studied for graduate courses. “Flexibility for students who qualify UG with a major and minor(s) to opt for either major or minor(s) subject in master’s programme,” the draft document says.
