Syllabi have been prepared for these courses as per guidelines for minimum course curriculum for UGC courses under CBCS. We will be sending feedback to the commission and have also asked students to do the same.”

UGC has also sent a notice to all the universities saying “Numerous measures to enhance efficiency and excellence in the higher education system in the country have been taken up. Reforms undertaken have led to noticeable improvement in standards of education. However, due to diversity of evaluation system followed by different universities in India, students have suffered acceptance of their credentials, at times, across the university system, as well as the employment agencies.”
