Chandigarh University Gharuan Mohali hosted the Annual Convocation for the first graduating batch of the Center for Online Education (COEd) at its main campus. The convocation ceremony awarded degrees to a total of 950 students.
Chandigarh University Vice-Chancellor, Prof. (Dr.) Manpreet Singh Manna congratulated the passing-out students and wished them luck for their future endeavors. He said, "The time has come for each one of you to showcase your capabilities. Being the founder graduate of the online degree program of UGC, you are going to break numerous barriers in our country, marking a new milestone for our country. While India followed a conventional path in higher education for over a century, online education showcases a revolutionary shift where earning and learning can take place simultaneously. The most notable advantage of online education is that graduating students are typically industry-ready, given that many of them are already employed in the corporate sector and have acquired the necessary skills."
The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 mandates all higher education institutions (HEIs) to achieve a 50% Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER), which cannot be realized without digital platforms, digital transformation, and online teaching and learning. Despite India boasting the world's largest education system, the enrollment ratio in the country stood at a mere 20% when Prime Minister Narendra Modi initiated the mission. Upon starting online learning, a remarkable increase in enrollment was observed, surpassing 28.2% in the last year," as reported by PR News Wire, added Dr. Manna.
