Here, read now about UGC grants permission to pursue two degrees together

The UGC (University Grants Commission) announced on April 12th that students can now pursue two graduate degrees or diploma courses in physical mode or online mode simultaneously. However, UGC already allowed students to pursue two degree courses simultaneously, one in regular mode and one in distance mode. So, now students can choose to pursue two-degree courses in either physical mode, online mode, or a combination of both.

Jagadesh Kumar, UGC chairman, said “As announced in the new National Education Policy (NEP) and in order to allow students to acquire multiple skills, the UGC has come up with new guidelines to allow a candidate to pursue two-degree programs simultaneously. The degrees can either be pursued from the same or different universities.” Mr. Kumar also added, “The idea is to provide as much flexibility as possible to the students. These guidelines are part of the NEP and are aimed at customising and personalising education, even allowing multidisciplinary education across various domains. It is a great opportunity for students to expand their skills.” Furthermore, in the following article, you will read about every piece of vital information on how you can enroll in two-degree courses. Additionally, you will also read about the UGC guidelines students have to follow while opting for the two degrees simultaneously.
