Students from Central Universities can take two courses simultaneously starting in the coming academic year.

Students can now apply for two courses with the option to choose between a regular course and a distance course if central universities accept the proposal.

A new clause has been added to the provision by UGC Chairman Jagadesh Kumar, requiring graduate students to complete an internship to develop their skills per market expectations. After visiting the fields and projects, students will also have to complete community outreach projects. In addition, students will have more courses to choose from, and adding certificate and diploma courses will give them more options.

According to reports, central institutions are eager to promote Indian languages and have already implemented the UGC criteria to run two academic programs. First, professors of Practice have begun to be appointed by institutions for this purpose. These are people without a PhD whose primary occupation is not teaching yet, but they are hired based on their professional experience.
