The UGC's tweet reads, '#UGC is organising National Webinar on Life & Times of #Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose on his 126th birth Anniversary (#ParakarmDivas) on 23rd January 2023 at 11:00 am.

UGC's direction to the universities
Recently, the UGC directed the universities to devise mechanisms through statutory bodies to allow students to pursue two academic programmes simultaneously. The directives of the UGC came in response to the difficulties faced by students when universities and higher education institutions ask to submit migration or school-leaving certificates.
The official notice of the UGC reads, 'It has come to the notice of the UGC that students are facing difficulties as HEIs insist on migration certificates/School Leaving Certificate. In the absence of these certificates, the students are not granted admission and that defeats the facility of pursuing two academic programmes simultaneously.'
'It is, therefore, once again requested that the universities may kindly devise facilitative mechanisms through their statutory bodies to allow the students to pursue two academic: programmes simultaneously.
