CUET 2023: Students can pursue two courses simultaneously from next academic year

CUET 2023: From the upcoming academic year, students from Central Universities will be able to pursue two courses simultaneously. With central universities accepting the proposal, students will now be allowed to apply for two courses with an option to opt for a regular course and a second via distance. 

UGC Chairman Jagadesh Kumar has introduced a new clause for the provision as per which the graduate students will have to complete an internship and on the basis of this, students will develop their skills as per market expectations. Students will also have to work on community outreach after going to fields and projects.  Students will be given multiple choices of courses and the addition of certificate courses and diploma courses will give students better choices.

As per the reports, central institutions are looking forward to promoting Indian languages and many have already put into effect the UGC criteria in order to operate two academic programmes.  Institutions have started appointing Professors of Practice for the same. These are individuals without a PhD whose primary vocation is not teaching yet but are hired based on their professional experience. 

The UGC in a letter to the Vice Chancellors and principals of colleges has asked to make all necessary changes in the rules to appoint the Professors of Practice.
