MUMBAI: Around 200 universities in the country, including public, private, central, and deemed universities, have already implemented the four-year undergraduate programme in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, said the University Grants Commission (UGC) chairman M Jagadesh Kumar during a media interaction in Mumbai on Tuesday. He added that some states have asked all their universities to start four-year UG programmes, but it is also becoming the new normal in universities across the country.
The UGC chairman was in Mumbai to attend Mumbai University’s annual convocation on Wednesday. Kumar, who was the chief guest at the event, said that Maharashtra is leading in the effective implementation of NEP in many aspects and is also at the forefront of creating cluster universities. Kumar spoke at the convocation event.
University Grants Commission Chairman M Jagdish Kumar said that the state of Maharashtra is making efforts to effectively implement the National Education Policy, and the universities in the state are also at the forefront of creating small-scale ‘group universities’.
Over 1.51 lakh students graduated from the university this year and were awarded degrees. Almost 53% of these students were girls. Barring the two years of the pandemic, the number of female students graduating from the university has always been higher than that of boys. Twenty-four medals were awarded to 21 students who excelled in various examinations, of which 12 were females.
State Governor Ramesh Bais, who presided over the event, said that the university should rank among the top 10 universities in the next 10 years. Bais also mentioned that more girls graduating from the university is a positive sign.
The guests at the convocation and the university’s vice-chancellor Ravindra Kulkarni expressed their pride over Bharat Ratna being awarded to MU’s alumnus senior BJP leader LK Advani.
