New Delhi,June,14: The recent decision of the University Grants Commission (UGC) allowing universities to admit students twice a year has drawn mixed responses. While students are happy that they will have more flexibility, most academics think the shift in higher education necessitates a complete overhaul of existing administrative and logistical frameworks in universities.
The UGC has said that biannual admissions are not mandatory, but the decision now provides “flexibility” to institutions that might want to “increase their student intake and offer new programmes in emerging areas.”
