education along with necessary academic reforms in the university/college system. Thus, the main focus has been
on expansion and access to higher education through increasing institutional capacity and enhancement of intake
capacity, promotion of inclusive education through equal access to various groups in higher education, undertaking
academic and governance reforms, etc.
A target of 30 % Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) by 2017 from 15 % in 2012 was set for the XII Plan. The fifteen per
cent net increase was sought to be achieved through a dual strategy that includes increasing the number of educational
institutions and enhancing the intake capacity of the existing institutions.
The main objectives of the XII Plan are as follows:-
a) To help increase the Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) from the level of about 15 % to 30 % by the end of XII
Plan;
b) Expansion of educational capacity in terms of number of universities, colleges and other institutions to meet the
target of 30 % GER;
c) To increase the enrolment ratio in districts that suffer from less access to higher education;
d) To increase the enrolment of educationally backward groups and enhance inclusiveness;
e) To promote quality and excellence;
f) To promote relevant education;
g) To promote the use of information and communication technology and focussing on other related issues;
h) To undertake reforms in admission, examination and evaluation systems in the universities and colleges;

Growth of Higher Education System
The Commission is empowered under Section 12(h) and under Section 12(i) of the UGC Act, 1956 to collect
information on all such matters relating to University education in India and other countries as it thinks fit, and to
require a University to furnish it with such information as may be needed relating to the financial position of the
University or the studies in the various branches of learning undertaken in that University, together with all the rules
and regulations relating to the standards of teaching and examination in that University with respect to each of such
branches of learning.
In order to get timely and quality data in the education sector, which has implications for human development, the
Ministry of Human Resource Development initiated an All India Survey of Higher Education to build a database and
to assess the overall picture of Higher Education in the country.
A core team of officers from MHRD and UGC were involved in providing technical support, which includes preparation
of Data Capture Format (DCF), providing training in workshops, assisting National Informatics Centre (NIC) in
software development, etc. Nodal officers have also been appointed in each state to coordinate the survey work.
A dedicated portal (http://aishe.gov.in) has been developed with the help of National Informatics Centre (NIC) for
collection and compilation of the data. All the institutions need to register on the portal for accessing the portal and
uploading the data. The UGC Information and Statistics Bureau from 2014-15 has stopped collecting data directly
from the Universities. Compilation and estimation of Data at All India level is being made through portal http://aishe.
gov.in and this made us to shift to paperless exercise.
At the time of independence, there were only 20 universities and 500 colleges in the country with 2.1 lakh students
in the higher education system. But, after independence, there has been a phenomenal growth in all these numbers.

Institutes, 82 times increase in the number of colleges, and the students enrolment has gone up to over 127 times
in the formal system of higher education as compared to the figures of Independent Year of India. The phenomenal
increase in enrolment of this order would not have been possible without the growth in the number of institutions of
higher learning, both universities and colleges in particular, and increase in intake capacity of courses. The increase
in numbers of institutions and enrolment indicate that the target of 30% Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) set for the end
of XII Plan (2017) will be achieved.

States / UT
So far as the number of Universities in States is concerned, Rajasthan (68) and Uttar Pradesh (64) top the list followed
by Tamil Nadu (52) , etc. and also it can be observed from the Table 2.1(b) that there is uneven establishment of
Universities in States.
However, the increase in the number of Colleges is varied amongst States as observed from the Table 2.1(c). Relatively
speaking and in comparison to the absolute figures, the state of Uttar Pradesh accounted for the highest increase with
2048 colleges, followed by Madhya Pradesh (1131), Maharashtra (716), Karnataka (546) for the last 5 Years. The
number of Colleges as on 31.03.2015 stood at 40760.
As many as 1,147 new colleges had been established during 2014-15, thus taking the total number of colleges to
40,760 in 2014-15 as against 39,613 colleges in 2013-14, registering an increase of almost 2.90%

2.2(c) Level-wise Students Enrolment

The enrolment position in the academic year 2014-15 reveals that the majority of students in the higher education
system had been enrolled for a variety of courses at the under-graduate level. The students at this level constitute
provisionally 86.26% of the total number of students in colleges and universities put together. The percentage of
students enrolled for Master’s level courses (PG) had been 11.09% while a very small proportion i.e. 0.67% of the
total number of students have enrolled for research. Similarly, only 1.57% of the total number of students have
enrolled in Diploma/Certificate courses.
As regards the distribution of students’ enrolment between universities and affiliated colleges, the largest number
of students in the higher education system is enrolled in affiliated colleges. About 88.37% of all the under-graduate
students and 71.09% of all the post-graduate students have enrolled in the affiliated colleges, while the remaining is
in the universities and their constituent colleges. In contrast, 73.56% of the total research students had been in the
universities. However, the fact that the majority of the total number of students are enrolled in the affiliated colleges
where the foundations of higher education are being laid demands focus and greater financing to the college sector,
particularly with reference to promotion of relevance, access and equity, quality and excellence, etc.

2.2(d) : Faculty-wise Students Enrolment
The distribution of students, across various faculties, during the academic year 2014-15 was as under:
Out of the total enrolment of students (265.85 lakhs), 37.41% students had been in the faculty of Arts, followed by
17.59% in Science and 16.39% in Commerce/ Management. Thus, 71% of the total enrolment had been in the three
faculties of Arts, Sciences and Commerce / Management, while the remaining 29% had been in the professional
faculties, the highest percentage being in Engineering/Technology (16.27%), followed by Education(Teacher Training)
(4.57%) and Medical courses (4.02%), etc. In a country like India, where Agriculture and allied occupations are
the main occupations, the enrolment in Agricultural Courses had been just 0.78 percent and in Veterinary Science,
it is a miniscule of 0.11 percent. Thus, it is evident from the faculty-wise distribution of enrolment that the ratio
of professional to non-professional enrolment has been almost 1:3 and hence there is a need for an appropriate
policy change which may rationalize and reduce the disparity and increase the need to focus on vocationalisation of
education.

2.5 Growth in Enrolment of Women in Higher Education
There had been a phenomenal growth in the number of women students enrolled in higher education since independence.
The women enrolment which was less than 10 per cent of the total enrolment on the eve of Independence had risen to
46.93 per cent in the academic year 2014-2015.
The pace of growth has been particularly faster in the last two decades. As the data in Table 2.5(a) show, the number
of women enrolled per hundred men registered more than five times in 2014-2015 as compared to 1950-1951.

Meta University Concept
During the XII Plan, the UGC initiated a concept of Meta University: The main purpose of the Meta University is to
share learning resources by different Universities by using latest technologies available in order to enable students
to benefit from learning resources available in different institutions. Meta Universities represent 2nd Generation
Universities, free from physical boundary conditions and able to operate in virtual space, taking advantage of the
innovation and flexibility possible in such domains.
During the financial year 2014-2015, no grant was released under the Scheme.
Mobilising external sources of funding
In order to revive our tradition to support higher education, and to encourage the participation of society in the
development of universities, the UGC initiated a Scheme during XI Plan entitled “Incentives for External Resource
Mobilization”. This scheme is also continued during the XII Plan.
The contribution of the UGC will be upto the extent of 25 per cent of the contribution received by the University for
a particular year, subject to a maximum of ` 50.00 lakh per annum.
Benefits of the Scheme availed of by the Central Universities during XI and XII Plan are as under:-
S.No. Name of University Amount (` In lakhs)
XI Plan XII Plan Total
1. University of Hyderabad 225.00 50.00 275.00

Capacity expansion to provide reservation for OBCs in admission
The Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Admission) Act, 2006, envisaging reservation of 27% of
the annual permitted strength in each branch of study or faculty for the OBCs (excluding “creamy layer”), apart
from 15% for the SCs and 7.5% for the STs, in Central Educational Institutions (CEIs) established, maintained or
aided by the Central Government, other than those exempted under the Act, requires them to increase the annual
permitted strength for the academic session 2006-07 by 54% over a maximum period of 3 years commencing from
the academic session 2008-09, with a view to ensuring that the number of unreserved seats available to the OBCs as
also to the SCs and the STs for each academic session are commensurate with the increase in the permitted strength
for that session.
A grant of ` 4060.94 lakhs (` 444.00 lakh to Tezpur University, `1100.00 lakh for Manipur University and `2516.94
lakh to Colleges affiliated to University of Allahabad) was released to Central Universities during 2014-2015 for

Strengthening /Setting up of Schools of Education in Central Universities
The UGC has been impressing upon the Central Universities and other Universities to establish Department of
Education and conduct programmes for preparation of school teachers and Teacher Educators. In the wake of the
Right to Education Act, 2009 and the various recommendations contained in the report of Justice Verma Commission
on Teacher Education (2012), the Government of India requested the UGC to take urgent steps for expanding
institutional support to teacher education in the University system and also to bring various qualitative improvements
thereof. One such aspect in entailing such initiative was to establish School of Education in Central Universities
of the country. With this objective, the UGC sent a communication to all the Central Universities for establishing
Schools of Education within them and take up various activities relating to teacher education other than pre-service
teacher education. These included curriculum research, policy and educational development, learning and pedagogic
studies, assessment and evaluation, professional development of teacher educators, etc. A related issue on which
the Central Universities were requested to work was for reforming the curricula of the various teacher education
programmes in the light of the recommendations of the National Curriculum Framework on Teacher Education
(NCFTE), 2009.

The UGC has sanctioned for expansion and strengthening of teacher education in Central Universities for which
approval was given for various teaching and non-teaching posts. The UGC has also invigorated the initiative for
reforms in the curricula of the teacher education courses, requesting Academic Staff Colleges to provide refresher
and orientation training programmes for teacher educators, to strengthen post-graduate programmes in the teacher
education departments and to run integrated teacher education programmes.
As a result of the above efforts, at present 36 Central Universities have Schools/Departments of Education offering
various teacher education programmes and they have also intensified their efforts for providing other related
programmes of teacher education.
During the year 2014-2015, no grant was released under the Scheme.

Mandatory accrediation by NAAC of each Central University
Assessment and accreditation in the higher education, through transparent and informed external reviewprocess, are
the effective means of quality assurance in higher education to provide a common frame of reference for students and
others to obtain credible information on academic quality across institutions, thereby assisting student mobility across
institutions, domestic as well as international.
Assessment is undertaken prior to the commencement of academic programmes in an Institution. Accreditation is
undertaken after an institution completes certain number of years of existence (6yrs.)/passing out of specified number
of batches (two batches), whichever is earlier.
The UGC has also decided that no Higher Educational Institution or its Faculties, Schools, Departments, Centres or
any other units therein, by whatever name called, shall be eligible for applying or receiving financial assistance
from the Commission from 1st April, 2016 onwards, under any of its Schemes without having undergone
assessment and accreditation on or before 31st December, 2015.
Out of 39 Central Universities, 13 Central Universities have obtained the NAAC accreditation. 9 Central Universities
have obtained the accreditation earlier, but accreditation period is over and have applied for reaccreditation. 11 Central
Universities have applied first time for accreditation. 6 Central Universities have yet to apply for accreditation.

Establishment of Centre for Fostering Social Responsibility and Community Engagement in Universities
The XII Plan aims to promote greater social responsibility for higher education in the country, as per the
recommendations of the Steering Committee on Technical and Higher Education in the country. While many
institutions have already been involved in programs like the NSS, they are largely designed to ‘help’ the community.
The new approach to community engagements being recommended by the expert committee set up by the Planning
Commission emphasizes mutually beneficial and respectful partnerships between communities, civil society and
institutions of higher education in the country.

Outreach/extension activities in the university system generally do not attract priority. Thus most of the higher
educational institutions remain disconnected with the society at large. It is important, therefore, to more clearly
and forcefully mandate that the core purposes of ‘community engagement’ by institutions of higher education is to
serve mutually agreed interests of both communities and institutions. The UGC has recently framed Guidelines for
Establishment of Centres of Fostering Social Responsibility and Community Engagement in Universities during the
XII Plan period. The objectives of the Scheme, inter-alia include (i) providing roadmap of community / university
engagement plans of the university (ii) promoting community / university partnership to develop knowledge for
including the lives of people and to encourage participatory research (iii) working in alliance based organization in
the planning and execution of projects (iv) designing and developing pedagogy relevant to the learning needs of the
community and (v) creating neighbourhood networks of educational institutions including schools and providing policy
suggestions and technical assistance in the matter of fostering social responsibility and community engagement.

Development (Plan) and Maintenance (Non-Plan)
Assistance to Colleges
4.1 Thrust of Twelfth Plan for the Development of Colleges
Development of Colleges, which are responsible in a major way for undergraduate education and to a great extent
even for postgraduate education, is an important factor in Indian higher education system from the point of view of
maintenance of proper standards, ensuring optimum utilization of facilities, promoting innovation and change, linking
education to emerging career patterns, access, equalization of educational opportunities for the weaker sections of
society, particularly the Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes and those belonging to the educationally backward areas.
The focus of development assistance to the colleges is on supporting the teaching-learning process by upgrading
basic infrastructure like library, laboratory, connectivity, etc. However, the emphasis is on the expansion and
consolidation of facilities in the existing institutions, improvement of standards through modernization, rationalization
and diversification of under-graduate courses especially by relating them to career opportunities.
The XII Plan lays special emphasis, among others, on increasing the Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) from 15 % to
30%. For this, colleges have to play a very crucial role by expanding enrolement significantly, at the same time not
losing sight of quality control and consolidation.

4.4 (h) Development of Sports Infrastructure & Equipment in Colleges

The objective of the Scheme is to create and foster amongst the students of Colleges a spirit of healthy participation
and cooperative sharing of achievements in games with a capacity to face and effectively deal with challenging
situations with courage and determination.
Keeping the above objective in view, the scheme is designed to offer:
(a) financial support for the development of new or existing outdoor/indoor infrastructure for ensuring greater
participation of students in games. While the students would get an opportunity to avail themselves of such
sports facilities, this Scheme specially aims to serve the first generation students both in urban and rural areas.
(b) opportunities to students, depending upon their level of ‘attainment’ in a particular sport, to participate in
more advanced level of sport in the same or related area through the availability of better equipment and
infrastructure.
(c) infrastructure, where already available is intended to be improved/strengthened. Colleges will be assisted in
creation of such standard infrastructure and non-expendable equipment facilities so as to facilitate the conduct
of such activities for their students.

Quality and Excellence
The University Grants Commission in pursuit of excellence in teaching and research in the Institutions of higher
education has been providing substantial support to selected universities and colleges through various Schemes like
University with Potential for Excellence (UPE), Colleges with Potential for Excellence (CPE) and Centre with
Potential for Excellence in Particular Area (CPEPA) with a view to enabling them to reach the world class level
and serve as benchmark for other institutions in the country.
The UGC has introduced these Schemes during the IX plan period which are still continued during the XII Plan period
also. The main objectives of these Schemes are:
• To strengthen the academic and physical infrastructure for achieving excellence in teaching, research and
outreach programmes
• To promote flexible and effective governance
• To enhance the quality of the learning and teaching process at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels with
the help of a flexible credit based modular system, and the whole range of innovations currently accepted
globally
• To promote academic programmes relevant to the socio-economic needs of the nation
• To improve undergraduate education in colleges by the interfacing of the PG programmes
• To promote networking with other Centres/departments and laboratories in the country
• To achieve excellence in education, training and research to face the challenges of globalization.
5.1 Universities with Potential for Excellence (UPE)
The University Grants Commission introduced this Scheme during the IX Plan period to identify few universities
which had potential to achieve excellence in teaching and research activities. This initiative is being continued during
the XII Plan period in order to identify a few more universities which have the potential to achieve excellence not
only in teaching and research, but also in all related functions that could contribute to a holistic development of the
university.
Under the Scheme UPE so far 15 universities have been selected and 10 more universities are to be selected during
the XII Plan period.The UGC intends to identify some universities from among the existing UPEs which have already
achieved excellence and innovation in teaching and research to a considerable extent and completed first/second phase
under the Scheme and designate them as University of Excellence(UoE). During the XII Plan 03 such universities
which have completed their first/ second phase of Universities with Potential for Excellence will be considered for up
gradation to University of Excellence (UoE) status for their outstanding performance/achievements.
Guidelines of eligibility credentials during XII Plan, Tenure, Quantum of Assistance regarding selection of universities
for the conferment of the UPE/UOE status is available on UGC website at http://www.ugc.ac.in/pdfnews/1952943_
XII-Plan-Guidelines-For-UPE-and-UoE-Revised.pdf.
Monitoring of the UPE Scheme
Under the Scheme, a Mid-Term Monitoring Committee is constituted by the Chairperson, UGC, to assess the
progress of the University. The University will be invited to make a presentation before the Committee at the UGC
Headquarters after two years of implementation of UPE/UoE status. The Committee will submit a report in respect
of each university. The report of all the universities will be placed before the Standing Committee and subsequently
before the Commission for continuation/discontinuation, as the case may be.
Quality and Excellence 103

In the last year of UPE/UoE phase, a Final Review Committee, constituted by the Chairperson, UGC, shall visit each
of the universities selected under the Scheme to review the performance and achievements of the university in the
light of the objectives of the Scheme. This Committee will also recommend next phase of UPE/UoE to the university
concerned for consideration of the Standing Committee under the Scheme. However, any university will enjoy the
status of UPE/UoE for a maximum of three phases under the Scheme.

in respect of Deemed to be Universities/State Private Universities for awarding UPE/CPEPA Status.
During the financial year 2014-15 no grant was released under the “University with Potential for Excellence” (UPE)
Scheme due to paucity of funds though the Mid-Term evaluation of three universities was done which is mandatory
for releasing further grant.
5.2 Centre with Potential for Excellence in a Particular Areas (CPEPA)

The University Grants Commission introduced the Scheme “Centre with Potential for Excellence in Particular Areas”
(CPEPA) during the IX Plan period in order to promote quality and excellence and inter-disciplinary approach in
teaching and research activities. The Commission has decided to continue this Scheme during the XII Plan also. The
broad objective of this Scheme is to encourage and facilitate the chosen departments at the selected universities to
work together by associating their faculty members to cooperate and collaborate in their programmes and activities
on a regular basis, by cutting across departmental and/or discipline barriers in the emerging, frontier or cutting edge
subject areas of regional, national and/or international importance. One of the objective of this Scheme is to gradually
prepare the universities for UPE status.
The work of these Centers is evaluated by the Mid-Term Monitoring Committee and the Final Review Committee.
21 Centres from different universities are being supported under this Scheme. The details are given here under:

website http://www.ugc.ac.in/pdfnews/2758219_guideline-CPEPA.pdf
5.3 Colleges with Potential for Excellence (CPE)

The UGC has introduced the CPE Scheme during the X Plan. Under this Scheme, the colleges are financially supported
to improve their academic infrastructure, adopt innovations in teaching, learning and evaluation and to introduce a
flexible approach in the selection of courses at the degree level. A CPE college acts as a role model for other colleges
in their area of operation. The objective of the Scheme is to help selected colleges to achieve excellence mainly in
teaching activity and initiate a research culture in such colleges. The Commission has decided to continue this Scheme

during the XII Plan period also with an additional component of College of Excellence (CE) during the second and
third phase of the Scheme.
(I) Ceiling of financial assistance during XII Plan is as under
1. The grant up to `150.00 lakhs under the Scheme will be provided for each college during the XII Plan period. The
Expert Committee will clearly specify the quantum of grant item-wise and under recurring and non-recurring
category.
2. The colleges selected for second phase and onwards of CPE will be eligible for a maximum grant of `150.00
lakhs.
3. The colleges selected for the CE status will be eligible for a maximum grant of `200.00 lakhs.
4. The financial assistance under the Scheme is for up-gradation and updating of the departments for their further
development towards excellence, and will not be utilized for construction of buildings.
5. 50% of the grants may be spent for the development of the best performing departments as these have evidently
proved their potential for pursuit of excellence. The rest 50% may be spent on the general development of the
other departments and common facilities of the college.
The financial assistance will be spent only on aided departments.
(I) Release of Grant by the UGC
The UGC will release 100% Non-recurring Grant and 20% Recurring Grant of the total allocation in the beginning
itself. Thereafter, 20% of the Recurring Grant will be released on annual basis subject to the receipt of the UC of the
previous installment of the Recurring Grant. However, the Non-recurring Grant should be utilized within a period of
18 months from the release of the grant and UC should be submitted to this effect.
Once the final allocation of grant has been made by the UGC, re-appropriation up to 5% of the total allocation is
permissible with proper justification at college level under intimation to the UGC. In no case, re-appropriation will be
made for more than 5% of the total allocation.
Eligibility/Pre-requisites
The colleges fulfilling the following criteria will be eligible for consideration under the Scheme:
1. The college should be minimum 10 years old.
2. The college should have been recognized under Section 2(f) and 12B of the UGC Act.
3. The college has to be an accredited one by NAAC, with a minimum of ‘B’ Grade, at the time of applying for the
first phase of CPE status.
4. Among the accredited colleges, preference will be given to Autonomous Colleges.
5. If a college is a composite college, it should take immediate steps to delink the plus-2 courses from the college.
Prior to the interface meeting with the Expert Committee, it has to confirm in writing that the de-linking will be
affected with the next academic session, if CPE status is awarded to the college. 1st instalment of grant under
the Scheme will be released to the college only after such a de-linking has been affected.
6. It will be desirable that the teachers of the college selected under CPE/CE are not transferred during the
implementation of the Scheme so as to maintain continuity in implementing the Scheme.
7. Preference will be given to those colleges where, other things being equal, the Principal is a regular appointee
and has a long tenure.
Agricultural, Medical, Dental, Nursing and Pharmacy colleges are not eligible to be considered under this Scheme.
During the year 2014-15, 137 colleges have been reviewed by the Expert (Monitoring) Committee in the UGC office
and fresh proposals has also been invited through public notice on UGC website on 21st January, 2015 and in response
the UGC has received a number of proposals from different Universities which will be placed before the Standing
Committee.

Presently 172 Colleges are enjoying the CPE status and 14 Colleges are enjoying the CE status as on date.
Detailed guidelines of the scheme are available on the UGC website at http://www.ugc.ac.in/pdfnews/8626399_CPE-
Guidelines.pdf
During 2014-2015, an amount of `51,93,50,000/-was released to the colleges under this Scheme.
5.4 Establishment of New Centres/Institutes

Keeping in view the changing economic scenario in terms of liberalization, globalization and greater demand for
quality products from Higher Education System to meet the newly emerging needs, the Commission, during the year
2001, had introduced a New Scheme, viz., “Establishment of new Centers/ Institutes of excellence” in studies and
research on various inter–disciplinary areas in Sciences and Humanities within the University system.
During 2001–2002 and 2009-10, the Commission had approved the proposals of following Centres in the universities
for financial support for establishment of Centres/Institutes within the University system.

At present only one Centre is running i.e. Centre on National Studies in Sri Guru Granth Sahib at Guru Nanak Dev
University, Amritsar. An amount of `4.00 crore was released to the Centre during 2013-2014.
During the XII Plan period this Scheme has been discontinued.
5.5 Special Assistance Programme (SAP)

The SAP scheme was initiated in 1963 by University Grants Commission keeping in view the recommendations of the
Education Commission to facilitate the selected number of University departments having some potential in research
and teaching. The programme is intended to encourage the pursuit of excellence and teamwork in advanced teaching
and research to accelerate the realization of international standards in specific fields. The first such programme was
initially started as the “Centre of Advanced Study (CAS)” in 1963. Some of these Centres also received recognition
and financial support from UNDP/UNESCO. The “Department of Special Assistance (DSA)” and “Departmental
Research Support (DRS)” programmes were started in the Departments during 1972 and 1977 respectively to create
feeder departments for CAS.
SPECIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMME (SAP) LEVELS
1. Departmental Research Support (DRS)
2. Department of Special Assistance (DSA)
3. Centre of Advanced Study (CAS)

5.6 Autonomous Colleges

The 1964-66 Education Commission pointed out that exercise of academic freedom by teachers is a crucial requirement
to the development of the intellectual climate of our country. Unless such a climate prevails, it is difficult to achieve
excellence in our higher education system. As students, teachers and management are co-partners in raising the quality
of higher Education, it is imperative that they share a major responsibility and hence the Education Commission
(1964-66) recommended Autonomy to the colleges. College autonomy, in essence, is the instrument for promoting
academic Excellence.

5.10 National Education Testing: Development of Human Resource for Teaching and Research
The University Grants Commission conducts a national level test, viz. National Eligibility Test(NET) to determine
eligibility for Assistant Professorship and Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) in order to ensure minimum standards
for the entrants in the teaching profession and research in several subjects of Humanities (including Indian and some
foreign languages), Social Sciences, Computer Science and Applications, Electronic Science, Forensic Science and
Environmental Sciences. The Test is conducted twice every year in the months of June and December in 79 subjects
(excluding Paper-I) through 89 coordinating institutions spread across the country. Four new coordinating institutions
were also engaged in this academic year to facilitate ease of access for the candidates.
The University Grants Commission started conducting the NET , specifically known as UGC-NET for award of Junior
Research Fellowships in1984 to ensure greater comparability as well as higher degree of validity and reliability in the
field of research. Subsequently, as a consequence of National Education Policy adopted in 1986 and the recommendations
of the Mehrotra Committee for the pay scales of the University/College teachers, this examination was also used as an
instrument for declaring the candidates eligible for Assistant Professor in Indian universities/colleges from the year
1989 onwards. Earlier the UGC was holding this Test in Sciences as well as in Social Sciences including Humanities
and languages. At the same time, the CSIR was also conducting a Test in the core science subjects. In order to avoid
duplication of efforts in science subjects, the UGC intervened and entered into an understanding with the CSIR to
select candidates for the UGC as well. Since then, the UGC has been conducting UGC-NETin Humanities and Social
Sciences, Computer Science and Applications, Electronic Science, Forensic Science and Environmental Sciences,
whereas the CSIR is conducting it in 5 core science subjects, viz., Chemical Sciences; Earth, Atmospheric, Ocean and

Planetary Sciences; Life Sciences; Mathematical Sciences and Physical Sciences under the Joint CSIR-UGC NET,
also in the months of June and December.
Candidates who desire to pursue research and avail of fellowship from the UGC, can opt to appear for Junior Research
Fellowship (JRF) either under the UGC-NET or under the Joint CSIR-UGC NET. The candidates with higher merit
who qualify for JRF, can pursue research in the UGC recognized universities and institutions. They are also eligible
for being considered for the post of Assistant Professor in the universities and colleges. An upward of 3200 JRFs is

UGC JRF Lectureship only
During the year 2014-2015, an expenditure of `16,25,49,504/- was incurred on conducting the UGC-NET and on all
ancillary activities of the NET Bureau. This excludes the expenditure incurred on payment of salaries to the regular
employees of the UGC posted in the NET Bureau.
5.10(c) Concessions/Relaxation provided to the under-priviliged categories
i) In Fee
In conformity with the policy of Government of India, the University Grants Commission has been giving considerable
concession in fee for applying in UGC-NET to all under-privileged sections of the society. While the fee for candidates
belonging to the General category is `450/-, it is only `225/- for OBC candidates as per the Central Government list
who are not covered under the creamy layer. The candidates belonging to the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled
Tribes and the persons with disability (PWD) are required to pay a nominal fee of `110/- only.
ii) In Age for JRF
The upper age limit for the General category in order to appear in JRF is 28 years. A relaxation of up to 5 years is
provided to the candidates belonging to SC/ST/OBC (Non-creamy layer)/PWD categories and to women applicants.
iii) In Eligibility Conditions for NET
1. General Candidates 55% mark in Master’s Degree (without rounding off)
2. OBC (Non Creamy Layer)/PWD/SC/ST Candidates 50% mark in Master’s Degree (without rounding off)

iv) In Qualifying Criteria for NET
The candidates are required to obtain the following minimum marks separately in Paper-I, Paper-II and Paper-III to
be considered for final preparation of result as presented in Table 5.10 (c) (i):-
Table 5.10(c)(i) : Category-wise minimum marks required in each Paper to be

in Consideration Zone for preparation of result
Category Minimum Marks (%) to be obtained
Paper – I Paper – II Paper– III
General 40 (40%) 40 (40%) 75 (50 %)
OBC (Non Creamy Layer)/PWD/SC/ST 35 (35%) 35 (35%) 60 (40 %)
As is apparent, the minimum required marks for OBC, SC, ST and PWD categories in NET are lower than that for the
General category. Even while compiling the result for Junior Research Fellowship (JRF), this principle is kept under
consideration and it is ensured that the subject-wise final qualifying cut-offs for the under-privileged categories are
lower than that for the General category.
5.10(d): Initiatives to promote transparency
The University Grants Commission, in its constant endeavour to promote transparency, undertook various measures
to make the examination and evaluation process more interactive and less prone to subjectivity. These measures are
outlined in the following paragraphs:
(a) Paper-III, which was descriptive in nature till Dec. 2011 UGC-NET, was converted to objective mode from
June 2012 UGC-NET onwards. This ensures parity in evaluation and obviates any possibility of subjectivity in
assessing the scripts.
(b) The candidates were not allowed to carry away the question papers with them till UGC-NET held in December
2011. In consonance with its policy of openness, the UGC took a decision to permit candidates to take away the
question papers from June 2012 UGC-NET onwards.
(c) The UGC modified its OMR Sheet in order to accommodate a carbonless copy of sheet with it. The candidates
can take the carbonless copies of OMR sheets with them from June 2012 UGC-NET onwards.
(d) Since June 2012 UGC-NET, the answer-keys of all the question papers are in public domain as they are uploaded
on the UGC website. The candidates, having access to answer keys, question papers and carbonless copies of
their OMR sheets, are enabled to check their answers. Online feedback is invited from candidates for more than
a week regarding any discrepancies in the questions or any incorrect answers after uploading the answer keys
and question papers. The feedback received from the candidates is re-examined by the Expert Committees and
answer keys get updated accordingly. The result is prepared on the basis of updated answer keys.
(e) In a first, the University Grants Commission has taken a landmark decision that the candidates having any
grievances with regard to answer key(s) even after declaration of result of UGC-NET, could send a written
request to the Head, UGC-NET Bureau, South Campus, University of Delhi, Benito Juarez Marg, New Delhi-
110021, supporting their stand with standard books / literature along with a demand draft of ` 5000/- in favour of
Secretary, UGC, within one month from the date of declaration of result. This unique practice was commenced
from June, 2013 UGC-NET. Since the UGC had modified the structure (descriptive to objective) of Paper-III
from June 2012 UGC-NET onwards, the candidates with similar grievances in June 2012 and December 2012
examinations were also provided this opportunity to file their grievances.
The request(s) so received were placed before the Expert Committee(s) for examination of grievances. The respective
committees for subjects concerned examined the grievances of the candidates and, wherever required, updated the
answer keys. Accordingly, the UGC has processed the data in the light of changed key(s) and qualified the additional
candidates for JRF and/or eligibility for Assistant Professor as per already approved cut-off percentage for the subjects
concerned. The result of previously qualified candidates for JRF and/or eligibility for Assistant Professor remained

unchanged. The subject-wise cum category-wise qualifying cut-offs for JRF and eligibility for Assistant Professor
already approved for the above mentioned three UGC-NET remained unaltered.
This practice has been continued for June 2014 UGC-NET and CBSE has been requested to follow the same.
5.10(e): Recognition of UGC-NET Qualified Candidates in Public Sector
The UGC-NET has come to be recognized as an authentic source of talent pool in the last few years; being viewed
with prestige among public sector undertakings of the Government of India. The University Grants Commission has
been formally approached by a few premier government bodies, namely:
i) Indian Oil Corporation Limited
ii) Oil and Natural Gas Commission (ONGC) &
iii) Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) to utilize the data of UGC-NET scores for recruiting its officers in some
disciplines. The UGC has already conveyed its willingness to share its data in this regard.
5.10(f): State Eligibility Test (SET)
In accordance with the mandate of the Government of India through its notification dated 22-07-1988, the UGC,
on the request of State Governments, proposed to have State Level Eligibility Test (SLET), now known as State
Eligibility Test (SET) duly accredited by the UGC for a fixed term. The pattern of SET is same as that of NET
conducted by the UGC.
In response to the proposal of some states/group of states to conduct SET, the University Grants Commission grants
accreditation to them for conducting SET for Lectureship Eligibility only after examining their proposals. The
performance of SET agencies is reviewed periodically by the UGC with the help of experts and their accreditation is
renewed for a fixed period. The Head of UGC-NET Bureau is the permanent member of the Steering and Moderation
Committees of the SET agencies, which are constituted to exercise overall supervision in conducting the tests and
declaration of results.
The candidates who have cleared the State Eligibility Test (SET), accredited by UGC for Lectureship prior to 1st June
2002, are exempted from appearing in the NET. For SET scheduled in or after June 2002, the qualified candidates
shall be eligible to apply for the post of Lecturer/Assistant Professor only in the universities/colleges situated
in the state from where they have cleared their SET. However, such candidates are also eligible to apply for NET,
if they so desire.
Till now, the following states / clusters of states have conducted SET so far:
i Andhra Pradesh (independently earlier but jointly with Telangana in the past academic year)
ii Bihar
iii Chhattisgarh
iv Gujarat
v Haryana
vi Himachal Pradesh
vii Jammu & Kashmir
viii Jharkhand
ix Karnataka
x Madhya Pradesh
xi Maharashtra & Goa
xii North Eastern states (participating states: Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Tripura & Sikkim)
xiii Rajasthan
xiv Tamil Nadu
xv Uttarakhand
xvi Uttar Pradesh
xvii West Bengal

From among these, the states / groups of states that conducted SET during 2014-15 are as presented in the
following:
i) Telangana & Andhra Pradesh (jointly)
ii) Gujarat
iii) Karnataka
iv) North Eastern states (participating states: Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Tripura& Sikkim)
v) Rajasthan
vi) Uttarakhand
vii) West Bengal
In addition, the following states / group of states received accreditation from the UGC to conduct further State
Eligibility Tests:
i) Maharashtra & Goa
ii) Jammu & Kashmir
The State of Himachal Pradesh, which had the UGC accreditation to conduct SET, did not conduct it this year.
The expenditure for conducting SET is borne by the respective SET agencies.

5.12 Inter University Centres (IUCs)

The University Grants Commission has been establishing Inter University Centres (IUCs) since 1984 under Section
12(ccc) of the UGC Act, 1956. The Inter University Centres are autonomous bodies within the University system to
provide centrally the state-of-the-art equipment and facilities, which are not generally available at many Universities
due to cost factor, for the benefit of researchers working in different Universities. So far, the UGC has established
8 Centres mainly in the field of Science, Technology& Education. The Inter University Accelerator Centre (IUAC),
New Delhi, (formerly Nuclear Science Centre) was the 1st such Centre established in 1984 in New Delhi. The main
objectives for establishing these Inter University Centres are:-
• to provide common advanced centralized facilities/services for Universities which are not able to invest heavy
investments in infrastructure and other inputs;
• to play a vital role in offering the best expertise in each field to teachers and researchers across the country;
• to provide access for the research community and teaching faculty to the state-of-the-art equipment and excellent
library facilities which are comparable to International standards.
The UGC is also instrumental in producing more than a thousand educational films and programmes through various
Educational Multimedia Centres established in selected Universities and colleges in the country under the guidance
and co-ordination of Consortium for Educational Communication (CEC), New Delhi. The 1st countrywide classroom
(CWCR) programme was telecasted on the National Network on 15th August, 1984.

5.12(iv): INFLIBNET Centre, Gandhinagar
This Centre was created to provide networking of various libraries in the Universities and Colleges in the country.
The purpose was to establish and promote communication facilities & to improve the transfer of information from
one institution to another. The basic idea of this Centre was that it would provide free access to books and journals

available in a particular library to other users in the country. In view of the fact that the cost of journals and books have
been increasing day by day, it was not possible for every University and College to subscribe and buy the books. It has
certainly made the users conscious of the fact that they should utilize such facilities in order to carry out their academic
activities. It seems that the Centre is yet to meet its objectives, which was set forth when it was established.

Digital Repository in Universities and Colleges
The UGC-Infonet Digital Library Consortium was formaly launched in December, 2003, by Honorable Dr. A.P.J.
Abdul Kalam, the then President of India, soon after providing the Internet Connectivity to the Universities in the
year 2003 under the UGC-Infonet programme. The Consortium proved to be a recipe for University Libraries that
have been discontinuing subscription of scholarly journals because of ‘serial crises’ which refers to exponential and
continuing increase in subscription cost of scholarly journals. The crises is a result of rise in cost of journals much
faster than the rate of inflation, increase in the number of journals and the paucity of funds available to the libraries.
The benefit of subscription to e-resources could also be extended to the Colleges, to begin with the Colleges for
Potential with Excellence (CPE) and Autonomous Colleges. The Consortium also plans to launch its ‘Associate
Membership Programme’ wherein Private Universities and other research organizations would be welcomed to join
the Consortium for selected e-resources.

Promotion of Research
6.1 Research Projects for Teachers : Major and Minor
Since early seventies, the UGC has been providing financial assistance to the permanent/regular, working/retired
teachers in the universities and colleges for undertaking research in their chosen area(s).
Major Research Projects for Teachers
Research keeps the inquisitive minds vibrant and knowledge updated. The teacher working in the field of Higher
Education has to perform three basic duties - Teaching, Research and Extension. Thus, the universities and colleges
equipped with labs, libraries and other essential facilities are major training grounds for the Researchers. Since past
early seventies the UGC has been providing financial assistance for the Research Proposals of the permanent/ regular,
working/retired teachers in the Universities and Colleges which are enlisted under section 2(f) and 12B of the UGC
Act, 1956. The Major Research Projects scheme enables them to carry out intensive and in-depth research studies
in specific subject areas with their regular job or after superannuation. Research Project may be undertaken by an
individual teacher or a group of teachers or by a department as a whole. It can also be undertaken by a retired teacher
up to the age of 70, provided, the age at the time of applying is not more than 67 years. Priority is given to inter-
disciplinary research and inter-institutional collaborative research.
On receipt of online proposals, the same are screened & accessed by a Subject Expert Committee. The screened
proposals are evaluated by the Subject Expert Committee through an interface discussion with the teacher concerned
to find out the merit & viability of the proposals. The emphasis is on supporting such areas that cut across disciplines
and subjects like Health, Gerontology, Environment, Bio- Technology, Stress Management, WTO & its impact on
Economy, History of Science, Asian Philosophy, Defense and Strategic, Studies which include national security
affairs, insurance and banking and many other areas as would be identified by subject experts.
The assistance is limited to `15.00 lakhs for Major Research Projects in Humanities and Social Sciences and
`20.00 lakhs for Major Research Projects in Sciences including Engineering & Technology, Medicine, Pharmacy &
Agriculture, etc.
The assistance provided for a Major Research Project includes funding for Equipment, Books and Journals, Chemicals,
Contingencies, Travel & Field work, Hiring Technical Services, Fellowship to Research Personnel and other items
needed for the project.
The duration of a Major Research Project is Three Years. Detailed guidelines of the scheme can be accessed on

Gender and Social Equity
7.1 Development of Women’s Studies in Indian Universities and Colleges & Capacity Building
of Women Managers in Higher Education
The objective of the Scheme of Development of Women Studies in Indian Universities and Colleges and Capacity
Building of Women Managers in Higher Education is to strengthen and sustain the Women Studies Centres in
universities by establishing them as statutory departments in the university system, as also to facilitate their own
capacity to network with other constituents such that they are mutually reinforcing as well as synergizing one another
and also to increase the participation of Women in Higher Education Management for better gender balance. The
thrust is to develop field projects for action, research, evaluation and enhancement of knowledge and partnership
across boundaries of caste/class/religion, community and occupations and to involve many more people and many
more organizations in the network as well as to ensure the focus, and the quality of this newly emerging discipline is
maintained.
The UGC has approved the guidelines of the Scheme which are available on the UGC website at http://www.ugc.
ac.in/pdfnews/8004557_WS-Guidelines_XII-Plan_Revised-Final.pdf
Up to 31.03.2015, as many as 153 Women Study Centres had been established and are functioning in the Higher
Education System.
Under the Scheme of Capacity Building & Women Managers in Higher Education, 205 Sensitization/Awareness/
Motivation (SAM), 22 training of Trainers (ToT), 13 Management Skill Enhancement Module (MSEM) & 5 Refresher
workshop have been organized by various Universities and Centres during the XII Plan.
Grants of ` 27.00 Crore had been released under the Scheme of Development of Women Studies in Indian Universities
during the XII Plan till 3.03.2015. Out of it, Grant of `9.54 Crore has been released during 2014-15.
7.2 Establishment of Centres in Universities for Study of Social Exclusion and Inclusive Policy
Social exclusion not only generates tension, violence and disruption, but also perpetuates inequality and deprivation
in Society. In India, certain communities such as Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and religious minorities
experience systemic exclusion in the matter of taking advantages of development. Social exclusion is a complex
and multidimensional concept having social, cultural, political and economic ramifications. The consequences
of macroeconomic policies such as poverty, unemployment and involuntary migration exclude the victims from
economic, cultural, and political activities. The primary space where ‘exclusion’ can be studied, understood, and
first transcended, are our universities, which can and must act as a beacon for society. The UGC has therefore
decided to support research on the issue of social exclusion, which has theoretical as well as policy importance.
The idea is to establish a number of teaching –cum-research Centers in Universities to pursue these themes.
Guidelines of the Scheme are available on the UGC website :http://www.ugc.ac.in/pdfnews/2118716_social-
exclusion-colleges.pdf
The UGC provides financial assistance on 100% basis to the selected universities for proper functioning of the Centres
for recurring & non-recurring items as per guidelines.
Since the inception of this Scheme, the UGC has established 35 Centres in different universities.
UGC released Grant of ` 777.00 Lakh to the Centres during 2014-15
Gender and Social Equity 161

7.3 Establishment of Special Cells for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes
To safeguard the interests of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes - the most deprived groups of the Indian
Society, the constitution provides reservation in various services under Central and State Governments.
The main objective is not to just provide jobs to increase their representation in services, but to improve their social &
educational status, so that they can have their rightful place in the main-stream of the society. As per the constitutional
provisions, the reservation for Scheduled Castes is 15% and 7.5% for Scheduled Tribes at the national level and the
reservation in States is provided depending on their population in the State concerned.
The Commission introduced the Scheme of Establishment of SC/ST Cells in Universities in the year 1983.
The Revised guidelines of the above Scheme for the XIIth Plan are under consideration of the Commission.
7.4 Standing Committee on SC/ST.

The SC/ST Cell of the UGC monitors the effective implementation of the Reservation Policy for SC, ST and PWD
candidates in admissions, and teaching and non-teaching posts in universities and colleges. A Standing Committee
on SC/ST has been constituted to oversee the effective implementation of the reservation policy in universities and
colleges. The Committee is represented by academic experts, former Vice-Chancellors and distinguished persons in
the field of higher education. The Standing Committee meets from time to time and monitors the status of reservations
and the backlog in vacancies in universities and colleges. The meeting of the Standing Committee is organized once
in year. In the meeting, the main focus is on the evaluation of reservation policy based on statistical data in respect
of admission, teaching and non-teaching staff and other related matters. The last meeting of the Standing Committee
was held on 25-11-2014.
7.5 Coaching Schemes for SC/ST/OBC (Non-creamy Layer)/ Minorities.

7.5(a) Remedial Coaching for SC/ST/OBC (non-creamy layer) & Minorities Community Students
Remedial Coaching is to be organized at undergraduate/post-graduate level in order to improve & strengthen
knowledge, academic skills and linguistic proficiency of the students in various subjects.
7.5(b) Coaching for NET/SET for SC/ST/OBC (non-creamy layer) & Minority Community Students
The main objective of the Scheme is to prepare SC/ST/OBC candidates and candidates from Minority communities
for appearing in the NET or the SET exam.
7.5(c) Coaching Classes for entry in services for SC/ST/OBC (non-creamy layer) & Minority Community

7.8 Facilities for Persons With Disabilities

The Constitution of India ensures equality, freedom, justice and dignity of all individuals and implicitly mandates
an inclusive society for all including persons with disabilities. In the recent years, there have been vast and positive
changes in the perception of the society towards persons with disabilities. It has been realized that a majority of
persons with disabilities can lead a better quality of life if they have equal opportunities and effective access to
rehabilitation measures.
The Persons with Disabilities Act, 1995, indicates that differently abled persons should have access to education at all
levels. In higher education sector, the University Grants Commission has been supporting universities and colleges in
the country and involving them in special education activities to empower differently abled persons.
The UGC, from time to time, has been conveying to the Universities and Deemed Universities, the policy decisions,
including reservations in admissions and employment, of the Government of India pertaining to the persons with
disabilities. In addition, the decisions taken and the guidelines framed at the level of the Commission in this regard
have also been circulated to all universities for implementation. The Commission had also circulated the Disabilities
(Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995, to the universities requesting them to
strictly follow the provisions contained therein.
Besides, the UGC is also implementing plan schemes for the benefit of persons with disabilities. The Chairman, UGC,
has constituted a committee for monitoring the effective implementation of the reservation policy for Persons with
Disabilities in employment and admission in Universities/ Colleges.
A meeting of the committee had been held on 29st April 2014.

8.2 Area Study Centers in Universities

Introduction
The Commission started Area Studies Programme in 1963 in different universities. In the last five decades it has
evolved with all its strengths and limitations. In the context of post-cold war when globalization is setting the agenda
of international affairs and defining the terms of international relations, the Programme requires fresh thinking in its
academic thrust, approach and organizational format.
The major objectives of the Area Studies Programme are as follows: -
a. to promote holistic understanding of the area with its cultural, social, economic and strategic specificities;
b. to promote alternative paradigm of area studies from the perspective of post colonial societies;
c. to contribute towards Indian perspectives of the region and issues;
d. to provide critical inputs to the policy makers, particularly in India’s economic, strategic and political
interests;
Relevant and Value Based Education 167

e. to bring knowledge of regions of the world to the core of intellectual disciplines;
f. To conduct research to promote inter-regional comparative perspective.
As on 31-3-2015, 8 Centres were working (for the period 01.04.2011 to 31.04.2016) and 40 Centres were working (for
the period 01.04.2014 to 31.03.2019) under the Area Studies Programme.
During the XII Plan period the UGC has released an amount of `4.10 Crore (01.04.2012 to 31.03.2013) and

8.3 Epoch Making Social Thinkers of India

India has produced great thinkers and social leaders who, by their revolutionary and path breaking thoughts and
actions, have left a lasting impact not only on India, but on the world as a whole. They have developed indigenous
ideas and have provided cultural and ethical identity to India. There is a great need to acquaint the teachers and
students with their thinking and work and to involve them in studies, research and field work based extension service
programmes of constructive work. The Scheme of Epoch Making Social Thinkers of India (Special Studies) was
initiated by the UGC in the year 1983 and continued in the XII Plan also.
Objective(s) and salient features
Under this Scheme, assistance is provided by the UGC to set up Centres for Special Studies in universities/ colleges/
institutions for conducting programmes in order to acquaint teachers and students with thoughts and ideas of great
thinkers and social leaders/reformers.
Ceiling of UGC grant : Grant to `7,50,000/- as Recurring grant, upto `3,00,000/- as Non- Recurring grant (once at the
time of establishment of the Centre)
There are 404 Studies Centres established in various universities/colleges under the Scheme ‘Epoch Making Social
Thinkers of India’. This Scheme is for all beneficiaries (universities, colleges, teachers, students, women, SC /ST,
etc.).

8.4 Human Rights Education (HRE)
(i) Human Rights and Duties
Although every right entails a duty, there has been a feeling in certain quarters that while rights education is promoted,
the question of duties has not been adequately addressed. In a society which emphasized on duties for centuries,
rights education comes as a correction of historical distortions. The violation of rights could be corrected only when
the privileged persons are reminded of their duties towards the marginalized sections, and marginalized sections are
gradually empowered through rights education. HRE at these levels would extend to such areas as gender equity, caste
and community relations, majority-minority conflicts, ‘forward-backward’ dilemma and North-South power relations.
In short, all power relations have to be humanized and democratized through restructuring of rights and duties.
(ii) Human Rights and Values
HRE will also focus on value education:
(a) One of the objectives is to create awareness and commitment to values where the individualistic self interest is
properly reconciled with the collective and common good.
(b) There has to be a debate on universal values and relativistic values that are culturally determined. The search
for universal values assumes added importance in a globalizing but fragmented world.
(c) The Values like pluralism, respect for all religions, scientific temper, open mind, public reasoning, all of which
have been part of Indian traditions for long, will have to be sustained and promoted.
(iii) Human Rights and Human Development
Rights are not only standards, but also claims of the citizens on the allocation of resources of the society. Indian
Economy is growing at a fast pace, but the economic disparities are also growing. It is necessary to recognize that
development needs and equity concerns should go hand in hand. Any level of material development will not lead to
human happiness unless it values human life and provides the conditions for fuller realization of the human potential.
Human being is both a subject and an object of development. The State has an obligation in the promotion and
enforcement of the rights and has to envision rights approach to development. No doubt these obligations, when they
are carried out, will lead to balanced human development. HRE will include all these components.
The following activities are supported by the UGC under the Scheme:
(a) Research
(b) Teaching
(c) Organization of Seminars/Workshops/Conferences, etc.
A one-time grant of `10.00 lakh will be provided to take up these activities in following proportion :-
i) Research : 25% of the ceiling.
ii) Teaching : 25% of the ceiling.
iii) Organization of Seminars/Workshops/Conferences, etc : 50% of the ceiling.
The Commission in its meeting held on 10th May, 2013 decided that the Scheme of Human Rights Education may be
grouped with GDA. Accordingly, all old proposals, where the first installment of the grant has been released, may be
continued to be processed by the HRE Section.
The old cases of IX, X & XI Plan period approved and sanctioned will be assisted by the UGC for the remaining
period and for settling the accounts accordingly. As such, the Committed Liabilities (Old UGC Schemes) will be
continued for the same.
244 Universities/Colleges have benefitted under the Scheme.
Grant Paid during the XIIth Plan 2012-17 (2014-15) : ` 4.43 crore.

9.2 Production of courseware E-content for postgraduate subjects

e-PGPathshala : The National Mission on Education through information Communication Technology (NME-lCT) is
envisaged as a Centrally Sponsored Scheme to leverage the potential of ICT, in teaching and learning process for the
benefit of all the learners in Higher Education Institutions at any-time anywhere mode.
The Project “Production of Courseware e-Content for Post Graduate Subjects” was awarded to the UGC as nodal
agency by NME-ICT-MHRD in the year 2011 for development of e-content at PG level in 77 subjects. Total Cost of
Project received by the UGC from MHRD is `84 crore.
The objective of the Scheme is to provide high quality e-content for PG programmes offered in Indian universities
for the benefit of the teachers and students. This will address disparities of various kinds like rich/poor, urban/rural,
cast and religion based disparities, geographical disparities, regional disparities, etc. The e-contents can be viewed by
the students to supplement their class room teaching or as a standalone method of leaning various topics taught at the
PG level. The e-contents will also be beneficial to teachers as they can improve upon their teaching after viewing the
quality e-contents available on the UGC website under e-PG Pathasalaprogramme.
The content being developed is of high quality, curriculum-based, interactive, in different subjects across all disciplines
of social sciences, arts, fine arts and humanities, natural & mathematical sciences, linguistics and languages under this
initiative named e-PG Pathshala. The Learning Management System for e-PG Pathshala (http://epgp.inflibnet.ac.in/)
is available in open access and hosted on INFLIBNET server as well as accessible through Sakshat Portal.
So far 70 subjects have been identified under the programme and 1500 modules have been uploaded in the e-PG
Pathashala website. More than 5000 modules are under process of uploading and so far about 2.5 lakhs visitors have
visited the e-PG Pathashala website which was launched in March, 2014.
Total cost incurred in the Project during 2014-15 is `9,08,45,336/-.

New Initiatives
10.1 Community Colleges
Community Colleges Scheme (CC)
The University Grants Commission launched the Scheme of Community Colleges on pilot basis during the year
2013-14 on a reference from the MHRD. The Community College model, by and large, will be accessible to a
large number of individuals of the community, offer low cost and high quality education locally, that encompasses
both vocational skills development as well as traditional coursework, thereby providing opportunities to the learners
to move directly to the employment sector or move into the higher education sector. It offers a flexible and open
education system which also caters to community-based life-long learning needs. It has a synergistic relationship
between the community, community college and the job market.
Later on, the UGC revised the guidelines of the Scheme and adopted it as one of its independent schemes. The Scheme
is meant both for the universities and colleges. However, it has been decided that the Scheme will be implemented in
the existing universities and colleges receiving General Development Assistance from the UGC.
The main objectives of the Scheme are:
• to make higher education relevant to the learner and the community;
• to integrate relevant skills into the higher education system;
• to provide skill based education to students currently pursuing higher education but actually interested in
entering the workforce at the earliest opportunity;
• to provide employable and certifiable skills with necessary general education to Senior Secondary School pass-
outs not willing to join existing higher education system;
• to provide for up-gradation and certification of traditional / acquired skills of the learners irrespective of their
age;
• to provide opportunities for community–based life-long learning by offering courses of general interest to the
community for personal development and interest;
• to provide opportunity to move to higher education in future; and
• to offer bridge courses to certificate holders of general / vocational education, so as to bring them on a par with
appropriate NVEQF level.
Target / Eligibility
Colleges and universities recognized by the UGC under Section 2(f) and 12B of UGC Act, 1956, and receiving
General Development Assistance are eligible for implementing the Scheme of CC.
The CC should not be a part of university department. It applies to both State and Central Universities. However, if it is
established by the university, it should be a separate entity. In order to make education relevant and to create ‘industry
fit’ skilled workforce, the CCs will have to be in constant dialogue with the industry, so that they remain updated on
the requirements of the workforce for the local economy. These colleges should also preserve and promote the cultural
heritage of the locality, be it art, craft, handicraft, music, architecture or any such thing, through appropriately designed
curriculum with proper assurance of employment including self-employment and entrepreneurship development.
CC, in consultation with the local partner industry, will develop the curriculum under the overall guidance of the
Board of Studies and Board of Management in case of colleges. However, universities may follow their prevailing
practice in this regard. While doing so, they may work towards aligning the curriculum with the National Occupational

Standards being developed by the respective Sector Skill Councils. This would promote national and global mobility
of the learners, as well as higher acceptability by the industry for employment purposes. CCs will also work towards
aligning the course architecture and curriculum design with NVEQF / NSQF.
There is a provision for scholarship of ` 1,000/- p.m. per student for the learners studying under this Scheme. There is
a target to train 7500 learners and to support 100 new Community Colleges every year to increase the employability
of students considerably as industry partner involved in framing of curricula, training and assessment of the learners.
The students completing the courses will meet the requirements of industry.

10.3 Distance Education

10.3(i) Distance Education Bureau
The Ministry of Human Resource Development, vide its Order dated 29th December, 2012, issued directions under
Section 20(1) of the UGC Act, 1956, with regard to regulation, maintenance of standards and according recognition
in respect of Distance Education Programmes conducted by institutions of higher education. The directions inter alia
contained the following:
(i) The UGC shall act as a regulator in respect of Open and Distance Learning (ODL) programmes and universities/
institutions need to seek recognition/permission from the UGC for conducting such programmes.
(ii) The UGC will develop Regulations for maintenance of norms and standards in Open and Distance Learning
(ODL) programmes in accordance with the recommendations of the Madhav Menon Committee Report
(December, 2011).
(iii) The UGC will create necessary physical infrastructure and manpower to discharge the regulatory functions, and
for the purpose utilise the staff of erstwhile Distance Education Council (DEC) in consultation with IGNOU.
(iv) The UGC shall as soon as DEC is dissolved, start performing the functions as the regulator of ODL
programmes.
In pursuance of this, the DEC was dissolved by IGNOU vide a Notification dated 4th May, 2013, and the functions of
DEC were taken over the UGC vide its Order dated 31st May, 2013. Since the UGC was in the process of framing new
regulations for maintaining standards in ODL system, the UGC vide its Notification dated 17th June, 2013 notified for
the adoption of the ‘Guidelines of DEC on Minimum Requirements for Recognition of ODL institutions’.
With the repatriation of staff of DEC, IGNOU, the entire functions of DEC were taken over by the UGC during
2014-15. The functional record was also shifted from IGNOU campus to branch office of the UGC at 35 Feroz Shah
Road, New Delhi. The work relating to distance education is being managed by Distance Education Bureau (DEB) of
the UGC by hiring consultants and by re-adjustment of some regular staff of UGC.

Based on the recommendations of an Expert Committee under the Chairmanship of Prof. N.R. Madhava Menon,
the UGC is in the process of framing the new ODL Regulations in consultation with the MHRD for regulating and
maintaining the standards in the field of open and distance learning.
Pending finalisation of new ODL Regulations, the UGC decided to continue the recognition of the Universities/
Institutions during the year 2014-15 in respect of those Universities/Institutions only which had the recognition during
the year 2013-14.
A list containing the names of Universities/Institutions that were recognised to offer programmes through distance

10.4 Choice Based Credit System

The introduction of CBCS is the part of the numerous measures taken by UGC to enhance academic standards
and quality in higher education through innovation and improvements in curriculum, teaching-learning process,
examination and evaluation systems.
Under CBCS, universities are requested to shift from numerical marking system, which is followed presently in
universities, to grading system of evaluation.
This will facilitate student mobility across institutuions within and across countires and also enable potential employers
to assess the performance of students. To bring in the desired uniformity, in grading system and method for computing
New Initiatives 189

the cumulative grade point average (CGPA) based on the performance of students in the examinations, the UGC has
formulated detailed guidelines. Further, under CBCS, HEIs would move form the conventional annual system to
semester system. The semester system accelerates the teaching-learning process and enables vertical and horizontal
mobility in learning. The credit based semester system provides flexibility in designing curriculum and assigning
crdits based on the course content and hours of teaching.
UGC has developed minimum curriculum for different courses of under graduate programs like B.A., B.Com and
B.Sc (Pass and Hons.) under the CBCS as it entails restructuring the syllabi in the form of a module. The curricula,
which have been prepared with help of academic expertise available across the country, have been placed on UGC
website for the benefit of different stakeholders.
