December 17 , 2024 11 hrs 0 min 20 0
  • The University Grants Commission (UGC) has unveiled the draft guidelines for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
  • It aims to bridge the gap between informal, non-formal, and formal education by assessing and recognising previously acquired knowledge, skills, and abilities.
  • This framework enables the individuals to formalise their competencies and earn credits, paving the way for their integration into the formal education system.
  • Through this, the student can earn up to 30 percent of the required credits for a degree programme.
  • The UGC aims to implement RPL for university admissions and job placements by 2026.
  • It creates diverse and flexible pathways for individuals with various educational backgrounds and learning experiences to access higher education based on their demonstrated competencies.
