Information
Under the scheme of Career-Oriented Programmes at First Degree level, universities/colleges can formulate their own need-based career-oriented certificate/diploma/advanced diploma courses and frame the syllabi involving subject experts, as per the modified guidelines of the University Grants Commission (UGC).
They have been asked to submit fresh proposals under the scheme for the courses to be started from the academic year 2007-2008.
The UGC will provide assistance in the form of a one-time seed money for purchase of books and journals, augmentation of laboratory facilities, equipment, contingency and payment of remuneration to the guest/internal faculty.
Assistance to the tune of Rs. 5 lakhs will be provided per course in the Humanities and Commerce streams and Rs. 7 lakhs per course in Science stream.
Though the benefits of career-oriented courses can be extended to regular postgraduate students of the same college/university, undergraduate students remain the priority. In keeping with the heavy demand for certificate courses, the UGC has, irrespective of their year of study, permitted students to either opt for certificate/diploma/advanced diploma courses or three certificate courses during the period of study.
The UGC has advised universities to consider issuing Honours degree to students who have completed concurrently three certificates or certificate, diploma and advanced diploma in a stream along with the degree course, since it involves 900 hours of learning comprising 60 credits
