New Delhi: According to the UGC's new guidelines, students can receive dual degrees from Indian and overseas higher education institutions at the same time.
The University Grants Commission (UGC) initiative to launch joint and dual degree programmes in conjunction with Indian schools has piqued the interest of 48 foreign universities. The University of Glasgow in Scotland has shown interest in discussing the prospect of academic collaboration in response to the UGC's new regulation and guidelines for implementing partnership programmes with Indian and foreign universities.
Several other colleges have expressed interest in establishing satellite campuses in India, according to a story in a top news daily. In a letter to the UGC, Deakin University praised the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020, calling it a "progressive" policy that will enable it to build new relationships with Indian universities. The Government of India launched NEP 2020 with a focus on contemporary higher education provisions.
The UGC announced new regulations and guidelines for collaboration between Indian and foreign universities in 2020. Students can now get dual degrees from Indian and foreign higher education institutions at the same time under the new rules.
According to the article, the University of Queensland in Australia will meet with UGC officials in August this year, while talks with a French university are also underway. Other notable universities that have expressed interest in partnering with Indian colleges include the University of Tokyo in Japan and the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom.
Next week, UGC President M Jagadesh Kumar will meet with officials from overseas universities to begin discussions. Kumar will meet with representatives from Australian universities. "Recently, the Prime Ministers of India and Australia have had a lot of discussions. "One of the most essential things is education," he stated.
He claims that international colleges' desire to engage with Indians derives from the fact that Indian students have made a name for themselves in a variety of countries. As a result, well-known universities believe in India's educational excellence. One of the benefits of international universities coming to India and establishing campuses, according to Kumar, is that students will be able to enroll in undergraduate and postgraduate programmes that will prepare them for PhD programmes in India or overseas.
