The University Grants Commission (UGC) panel has suggested that a student be considered for the award of a qualification, such as a certificate, diploma, or degree, once the required amount of credits has been obtained, irrespective of the minimum duration of the programme.
Given the provisions for multiple entry and exit in higher education, the National Credit Framework, and the Curriculum and Credit Framework for Undergraduate Programmes as envisaged under the NEP 2020, the "Expert Committee to Review the Notification on the Specification of Degrees and Suggest New Degree Nomenclatures" has suggested that it would be appropriate to recognize qualifications at the undergraduate certificate, undergraduate diploma, and postgraduate levels.
"A student may be considered for the award of a qualification (like a certificate, diploma or degree) once the required number of credits have been earned irrespective of the minimum duration of the programme. The degree nomenclature may be modified to be in sync with international norms," UGC panel said.
The panel has advised that a proposal for introducing new nomenclatures at any level relevant to contemporary and emerging social needs be submitted to the UGC, along with reasons.
It said, "The Standing Committee constituted for the purpose shall consider the same and make recommendations to the Commission. On the approval of the Commission, the newer degree nomenclature shall be notified by the UGC. UGC may adopt a practice of publishing its subsequent notifications with a comprehensive list, including the names of all previously specified degrees as well, for ease of reference and clarity."
