Good news for students wanting to pursue higher education! The University Grants Commission (UGC) has announced new rules. Now, whether you studied science, arts, or commerce in Class 12, you can apply for any undergraduate (UG) or postgraduate (PG) program as long as you pass a national or university entrance exam.
UGC Chairman Jagadesh Kumar explained this change aims to make learning more flexible and open to everyone. You won’t be limited by what you studied earlier. For example, if you took arts in high school, you can still join a science program if you pass the test.
The universities can also admit students in the second, third, or fourth year of study based on what they have completed. If you’re interested in exploring different fields, you can even study two UG or PG programs at the same time, and you can switch between different subjects or schools.
Furthermore, students can now focus on important skills and work experiences while studying. They can earn 50% of their credits in their main subject and the rest can go towards skill-building activities or exploring new subjects.
These improvements mean that Indian higher education will meet international standards while also being welcoming to all types of learners!
