UGC is releasing draft guidelines for offering the Apprenticeship Embedded Degree Programme (AEDP) by HEIs.
UGC Chairman, Prof. M. Jagadesh Kumar (
@mamidala90) urges all eligible higher education institutions to take advantage of the AEDP, offering hands-on industry experience alongside academic learning. This is available for 3- and 4-year degree programmes, and aims to make students employment-ready by allowing them to spend up to four semesters in industry.
The draft guidelines will be open for public consultation and stakeholder comments in a few days.
