Job-oriented courses also need University support and affiliation

One is now told that the UGC is very liberal in granting permission to start new courses, particularly those that are job-oriented. A massive number of job-oriented courses are run by several colleges across the country, as autonomous courses. These courses do not have University affiliation.

It is hence requested that there should be a simple mechanism where the concerned State or Private University enters into an MoU that should be immediately recognized and duly acknowledged, so that the MoU with the concerned private agency or institute is well known in the student circles.

This procedure should also be applicable to the Deemed to be Universities, that also run several courses. They are also reportedly controlled by the UGC in several matters.

We need drastic reform, and an online approval process, so that this process becomes very transparent and is also very quick in terms of results.

Many new courses are designed by many institutes. That is true. But many of the courses might not have the approval of UGC. So all institutes designing new courses should submit those details to UGC as well as to the university with which the institute is affiliated. The concerned authorities should accord permission within a specific time period so that the student who has already joined the course will not be at a loss.
As mentioned by the author, online submission of information, verification and if necessary an online discussion and approval should happen as early as possible so that students will not be at a loss. This system should be implemented by all central, state and private universities. UGC should become proactive and see that actions from their side will not be delayed.
Many institutes are giving skill development programmes and those may not be valid but if the student acquires the skill, it will be good and will be helpful to get a job.

The author has raised a very valid point that the new courses being inducted by various educational institutes that are related to skill upgradation and job placement should be recognised by the agencies like UGC and granted affiliation by the parent university.
In this matter it is required that all the agencies have to work together and not in isolation. Even the UGC proactively can announce some new areas where universities can start new courses and colleges can follow. When new ideas are introduced from top then it becomes easy to get them implemented at the lower level.

Knowledge is power.

It is a very valuable topic raised by the author where he has stressed the need of recognition of newly introduced course from UGC and other necessary formalities have also been addressed.
In that way, the students will not be unnecessarily harassed after acquiring such value added courses. This is one part but the authorities should take care of other important part of the students where they are often confused regarding the benefits of different courses having been introduced recently.
To make the students more comfortable with their selections, they need the guidance of a councillor who can explain in length regarding the course benefits which they are likely to take up. With such a back up, the aspirants will have more clarity about the prospects of such courses.
