UGC has released revised guidelines for life skill courses for undergraduate students
The University Grants Commission (UGC) has released revised guidelines for life skill courses for undergraduate students. This is done in line with the implementation of the new education policy (NEP 2020) and will replace the earlier guidelines of 2019.The revised guidelines offer life skill modules in four main categories that is communication skills, professional skills, leadership and management skills, and universal human values. Each course will carry 2 credits and the entire range of courses will have 8 credits in total.
Some of the modules in this revision are cyber security, social media, personal finance, patriotism, constitutional values, cognitive and noncognitive skills, digital ethics, human rights, etc. Let us hope that this will add a new perspective to the students pursuing undergraduate life skill courses.
