UGC paves way for autonomy to top colleges
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi: The University Grants Commission has notified regulations that makes colleges eligible for autonomous status which will empower them to start their own courses, award degrees, conduct examinations and make appointments among other things.
The ministry of human resource development (MHRD) issued the gazette notification to this effect on Tuesday.
As per the notification, colleges with a ranking of 3.51 and above in the National Assessment and Accreditation Council’s four-point scale will be considered for grant of autonomous status for 10 years without an on-site visit by an expert committee. With this, the institutions will get the freedom to start diploma or certificate courses as well as new degree or postgraduate course and PhD programmes without prior approval of the university or interference of the regulatory authority. The colleges will also be allowed to redesign the syllabus to suit local needs.
The autonomous status will empower the colleges to announce results, issue mark sheets, migration and other certificates. However, the degree shall be awarded by the university with the name of the college on the degree certificate.
Under the provision of the Section 2(f) of the UGC Act, colleges of any discipline, whether aided, partially aided and unaided/ self-financing are now eligible to seek autonomy. Autonomous colleges need not pay affiliation fee to the parent university every year. One-time fee can be paid at the time of conferment of autonomous status. They shall also have complete administrative autonomy.
Colleges which have a NAAC score of 3.26 and above, up to 3.50 or a corresponding National Board of Accreditation score or a corresponding accreditation grade/ score from a UGC empanelled accreditation agency too shall be considered for grant of autonomous status for six years without on-site visit by the expert committee.
Now, get a BEd along with BA or BSc course
New Delhi: In the new academic session, those clearing Class XII board examination will have the option of joining four-year integrated BA-B Ed or BSc-B Ed courses. According to a HRD ministry source, the move to drop the present two-year course in Bachelor of Education is to ensure that only serious aspirants opt to be part of the teaching profession like in the case for engineering or medicine. The ministry is planning to revamp the two-year B Ed course to a 4-year integrated teacher training programme. The ministry had written to the National Council for Teacher Education to start working on this plan. TNN
