Higher edu institutes can admit students twice a year: UGC chairman
In a significant move, universities and other higher education institutions (HEI) in the country can admit students twice a year instead of the existing system of once annually.
The University Grants Commission (UGC) on Wednesday announced continuing all its existing schemes funded under the 12th Five-Year Plan, for another year.
In a public notice, the UGC said the resolution to continue all its existing plan schemes in the new financial year 2017-2018 was taken at its meeting on Tuesday.
"However, these schemes will be reviewed by the UGC," it said.
