UGC approved a proposal in April allowing students to pursue to academic degrees in physical mode simultaneously.

The University Grants Commission(UGC) on Friday asked all universities to make statutory changes in their structure facilitating students to pursue two academic degrees simultaneously in physical mode. UGC had approved a proposal in April allowing students to pursue two full-time degrees together.

UGC in a statement on Friday said, “All the Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) were requested to devise mechanisms through its statutory bodies for allowing students to pursue two academic programmes simultaneously. It is once again requested that in the larger interest of the students, implementation of the said scheme may kindly be ensured and expedited, if not done so far,”

UGC has allowed students to pursue two full-time academic programmes in the same time frame given that class timing for both programmes do not clash with each other. Earlier, UGC had allowed students to pursue one regular and one distance course simultaneously but this development is significant because it now allows students to pursue two full-time degrees together.
