The University Grants Commission (UGC) has released a new curriculum and credit framework for postgraduate programs. The framework outlines the credits and academic structure for both one-year and two-year PG programs without requiring specific disciplines for entry. It also includes an option to exit after the first year in the two-year program, highlighting flexibility and mobility as its primary characteristics.
“The framework, with no discipline-specific entry requirements, outlines the credits and academic structure for both one-year and two-year PG programs. It provides an exit option after the first year in the two-year program. Flexibility and mobility are its key features,” UGC chairman M Jagadesh Kumar said.
The UGC has developed the curriculum and credit framework for postgraduate programmes to accommodate restructured degree programs and entry/exit procedures. This framework emphasizes student empowerment by offering freedom, flexibility, and choices.
It delineates the credit structure and curriculum contents for both one-year and two-year postgraduate programmes, including an exit option at the end of the first year for two-year programs. This initiative aims to enhance students’ knowledge and prepare them for advanced research studies, facilitating their transition from knowledge acquisition to knowledge creation.
