 Background

Considering the curricular reforms as instrumental for desired learning

outcomes, Maharaja Ganga Singh University made a rigorous attempt to revise

the curriculum of postgraduate programmes in alignment with National

Education Policy-2020 and UGC Quality Mandate for Higher Education

Institutions. The process of revising the curriculum could be prompted with the

adoption of ‘Comprehensive Roadmap for Implementation of NEP.’ The

roadmap identified the key features of the Policy and elucidated the Action Plan

with well-defined responsibilities and indicative timeline for major academic

reforms. The University Grants Commission (UGC) has devised a series of

regulations and directives over time with the intention of enhancing the higher

education system's quality and enforcing minimum standards in Higher

Educational Institutions (HEIs) throughout India. The recent academic reforms

suggested by the UGC have contributed to an overarching enhancement of the

higher education system.

With NEP-2020 in background, the revised curricula articulate the spirit of

the Policy by emphasizing upon- integrated approach to learning; innovative

pedagogies and assessment strategies; multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary

education; creative and critical thinking; ethical and constitutional values through

value-based courses; 21st century capabilities across the range of disciplines

through life skills, entrepreneurial and professional skills; community and

4
constructive public engagement; social, moral and environmental awareness;

exposure to Indian knowledge system, cultural traditions and classical literature

through relevant courses offering 'Knowledge of India'; fine blend of modern

pedagogies with indigenous and traditional ways of learning; flexibility in course

choices; student-centric participatory learning; imaginative and flexible

curricular structures to enable creative combination of disciplines for study;

offering multiple entry and exit points, integration of extracurricular and

curricular aspects; exploring internships with local industry, businesses, artists

and crafts persons; closer collaborations between industry and higher education

institutions for technical, vocational and science programmes; and formative

assessment tools to be aligned with the learning outcomes, capabilities, and

dispositions as specified for each course. The University has also developed

consensus on adoption of Blended Learning with component of online teaching

and face to face classes for each programme.
