New Delhi: If the University Grants Commission (UGC) has its way, students across the country will soon be able to pursue courses in segments in the institute of their choice.
The 'credit accumulation and transfer' recommendation of the UGC Committee says that students be allowed to pursue courses in segments in Universities as preferred by them.
Other recommendations made by the UGC Committee include semester system and taking feedback about teachers' performance from students.
Prof. Sukhadeo Thorat, Chairman, UGC said, "All these suggestions made by the committee are being examined by us as the committee has recommended a number of academic and administrative reforms to be followed by the universities."
The Committee has recommended that each academic programme should have certain credits, and students can complete a part of the programme in a specific university and accumulate certain credits from there. The rest of the course can be pursued from another university to complete the course.
"This will facilitate students' mobility at national and international level also. For this, the institutions should have a credit transfer system and an agreement for students' exchange," added Thorat.
As per the system, a student can also do a course in parts in various departments within an institute.
