MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (SMT. D. PURANDESWARI)
The University Grants Commission (UGC), which had a major programmed of vocationalisation of education at undergraduate level for imparting knowledge, skills and aptitude for gainful
employment in the wage sector in general and self-employment in particular, has recast the programmed as a Career Oriented Programmed during 2003-04 and introduced a flexible system of certificate/diploma/advance diploma programme parallel to the conventional B.A., B.Com. and B.Sc. degrees. Universities/Colleges have the freedom to formulate their own ‘need-based’ career-oriented courses, based on the guidelines suggested by the UGC. The course content of the identified subjects has to be framed by the Universities themselves.
