Jammu, Sep 1: The University of Jammu has signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with Cluster University of Jammu and Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Jammu (SKUAST-Jammu) to facilitate eligible students in pursuing two academic programmes simultaneously in accordance with University Grants Commission (UGC) guidelines.
The MoUs were signed by University of Jammu Registrar Dr Neeraj Sharma, SKUAST-Jammu Registrar Dr Anil Kumar and Cluster University of Jammu Registrar Ankur Mahajan in the presence of University of Jammu Vice-Chancellor Prof Umesh Rai and Cluster University Vice-Chancellor Prof K S Chandrasekar.
SKUAST-Jammu Vice-Chancellor Prof B N Tripathi also conveyed his best wishes for successful implementation of the agreements.
Prof Rai said the initiative was aimed at promoting academic flexibility, multidisciplinary learning, skill enhancement and wider educational opportunities for students.
He said the arrangement would allow students to acquire expertise in diverse disciplines and broaden their academic horizons while continuing their regular programme at their parent institution.
The Vice-Chancellor said the initiative was in line with the changing higher education landscape and the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which emphasises flexibility and multidisciplinary learning.
Under the MoUs, eligible students pursuing undergraduate or postgraduate programmes in regular mode at the collaborating universities can simultaneously enrol in another approved programme offered by the Centre for Distance and Online Education (CDOE), University of Jammu.
The additional programme can be pursued through Open and Distance Learning (ODL) or online mode and will be subject to prescribed eligibility criteria and applicable regulations.
A key feature of the arrangement is relaxation of the requirement for a Migration Certificate for eligible students admitted to CDOE under the MoUs.
