UGC announces Curriculum Framework & Credit System for 4-Year UG Programme

March 18: The National Educational Policy (NEP) 2020 envisioned that Institutions and faculty will have the autonomy to innovate within a broad framework of higher education qualifications that ensures consistency across institutions and programmes and across the ODL, online and traditional ‘in-class’ modes.

In this regard, the UGC constituted a Task Force to revise UGC guidelines on adoption of Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) and instructional template for facilitating implementation of CBCS. The task force revisited the guidelines and renamed it as Curriculum Framework and Credit System for Four Year Under Graduate Programme (draft).

The draft framework seeks to equip students with the capacities in fields across the arts. humanities, languages. natural sciences. social sciences; soft skills such as complex problem solving, critical thinking, creative thinking, communication skills, along with rigorous specialisation in one or more subject areas. The draft framework is available on the UGC website. (Click Here)

UGC invites comments/ suggestions/ feedback from all stakeholders on the draft framework and the same may be sent to https://forms.gle/MKgbpLLrayibE36m6 by 4 April, 2022.
