Bengaluru: With the introduction of the National Education Policy (NEP) in Karnataka, a university that only has a postgraduate program (PG) on campus until now is open for undergraduate courses (UG) as well.
At first, the University of Bangalore did counseling for UG seats on Monday and opened his campus for children aged 18 years next week.
The University of Bengaluru also started a constituent college to offer UG Education this year and is expected to start UG programs on campus in the city center in 2022-23.
In accordance with NEP, a four-year undergraduate program began to apply in universities in the state.
A student who completes four years can carry out a graduate program in one year.
If students have taken the research component in the fourth year, he can directly register for a PhD, even without the PG degree.
Karnataka State of Higher Education of the Prison Council Thimme Gowda B said that most universities in the state will start the UG program next year.
“Students can save one year by entering the PhD directly after the UG Four Year Program.
In addition, UG students will also have the benefits of senior teachers on campus.
While PG and PhD students manage more through independent studies, UG students will need more than guidance They, “he said.
“The PG program has been sandwiched between the new UG programs and PhDs, becomes weak and irrelevant.
The study will move from the PG level to UG level,” said Kr Venugopal, Representative of Chancellor Mrs.
Mrs have received 30 students each in UG science, biology program and 20 in art programs.
“Our professor will feel interesting to teach UG students.
They are usually far more responsive and enthusiastic than the older set of students,” he said.
The University of Bengaluru will have UG programs themselves in all departments from next year.
Meanwhile starting a college constituent – a multi-disciplinary constituent university for women – in Malleshwaram, only the BCOM program that has started 21 students in the first year.
Nep imagines that the affiliate system must move and more universities get autonomy and get the status of granting degrees depending on the performance and accreditation of their NAAC.
This will also change the role of the university will play in the future.
MK Shreedhar, who was in the NEP preparation committee, said the difference between the UG program and PG would be lost in the days to come.
“There will only be changes to nomenclature.
Critical problems are learning outcomes.
The university must be a lifetime learning center.
Until now, we have a structural approach to education and life – we started college around 18 years, moved to PG at a certain age and then to Work.
But the NEP must be a gamechanger where people can come out and return to the study whenever they want.
If the trend increases, each class will have students from various age groups, “he said.
