Undergraduate students will be required to conduct internships and will receive credit for them, according to new draft rules from the University Grants Commission (UGC).

In compliance with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which emphasises the inclusion of research and internships in the undergraduate (UG) curriculum to provide opportunities for active engagement in on-site experiential learning for students, the draught of the "Guidelines for internship and research internship for undergraduate students" was made public on Tuesday.

"A minimum of two to four credits, out of the necessary minimum of 120/160 credits, of a three-year UG degree/four-year UG degree (Honours)/four-year UG degree (Honours with Research) can be given for an internship as per the National Higher Education Qualifications Framework (NHEQF) and Curriculum and Credit Framework for Undergraduate Programme (CCFUP)," according to the initial draft of the guidelines.

Students enrolling in UG degree programmes will be required to complete a 60-120-hour internship following the fourth semester.

"Three-year UG degree, four-year UG degree (Honours) and four-year degree (Honours with Research) programme will be functioning strictly according to NEP-2020, NHEQF and CCFUP provisions," the first draft of the rules stated.
