UGC asks varsities to review curriculum
NEWDELHI:
Curriculum of universities might soon undergo a change. All the universities
across the country have been asked to review their curriculum in a bid to make
students passing out more employable.
In
a communication sent to all the universities and their affiliated colleges by
UGC on Wednesday they have been asked to urgently bridge the gap between the
skill sets of the students and the jobs available in the market.
This
follows a recent meeting of the group of secretaries convened by the Prime
Minister.
“In
a recently held meeting.. it was recommended that curricula of all academic
departments in universities be reviewed and revised at least once in every
three years,” reads the letter.
All
the universities have been asked to accord top priority to the matter and take
immediate action. “So that the curricula of various programmes offered at the
university are revised and adopted for quick implementation by your university
and the colleges affiliated to it,” secretary UGC Jaspal S. Sandhu said in his
letter.
They
have also been told to focus on the existing and potential demand and supply of
skill sets to make the students employable while reviewing the academic curricula.
Universities have been asked to address the issue on an immediate basis so that
it is implemented soon.
