DISTANCE DEGREE PROGRAMMES IN AGRICULTURE PROHIBITED
March 28, 2019
The University Grants Commission (UGC) has prohibited imparting distance degree programmes in agriculture.
About:
The decision was taken by the UGC on the ground that a degree programme in agriculture is technical in nature as it requires practicals or laboratory courses. The Union agriculture ministry had referred the matter to the commission.
As per UGC Open and Distance Learning Regulations, 2017, professional programmes such as medicine, engineering, and architecture, are not permitted to be offered in distance mode.
