UGC Draft Guidelines Propose Mandatory Internships for Undergraduate Students to Enhance Employability and Research Skills

/ Education Community

The University Grants Commission (UGC) has released preliminary guidelines suggesting mandatory internships for undergraduate students as a means to enhance their employability and foster an understanding of research while earning academic credits. These draft guidelines, titled “Guidelines for Internship/Research Internship for Undergraduate Students,” are aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which emphasizes the integration of internships and research opportunities into undergraduate curricula. The UGC made these guidelines available to the public for feedback and suggestions. The UGC has recognized that many graduates struggle to enter the workforce due to their lack of practical skills, knowledge, and experience, which employers typically seek. Internships are considered a crucial tool for improving these employability skills and can equip students with competency, professionalism, expertise, and confidence, as well as kindle their interest in research. Currently, internships are not obligatory for all undergraduate programs and are primarily restricted to technical and professional courses. UGC Chairperson M Jagadesh Kumar believes that hands-on experience through internships will bridge the gap between academic learning and the real world, enhancing students’ grasp of concepts. He emphasizes the importance of students acquiring a broad range of skills, such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and time management. These internships, as outlined in the UGC guidelines, are designed to help students gain valuable soft and technical skills highly valued by employers and establish professional connections with potential mentors. The draft guidelines propose two types of undergraduate internships: those focused on employability and those designed to cultivate a passion for research. For students pursuing a three-year undergraduate degree, a mandatory internship of 60 to 120 hours will occur after the fourth semester. Those opting for a four-year degree will participate in a research internship during the eighth semester. These internships can earn students up to 12 academic credits. The guidelines also recommend the appointment of a coordinator or the establishment of a well-defined mechanism for the smooth coordination and execution of internships across diverse disciplines within each higher education institution’s research and development (R&D) cell. Furthermore, the guidelines propose evaluating students during their internships. Evaluation methods may include assessments by the research internship supervisor based on the students’ efforts and research output or through seminar presentations and viva-voce at the higher education institution (HEI).

The Podcasting Boom Podcasts have skyrocketed in popularity for several compelling reasons, making them a unique medium in the entertainment industry.

Their disruptive influence can be observed in various aspects of the industry: Disrupting Traditional Radio: Podcasts have disrupted the traditional radio industry by offering a more personalized and flexible alternative. They provide listeners with the power to curate their own content, listen on their schedule, and explore niche interests. This has prompted radio stations to embrace podcasting, with many now offering their content in podcast format. New Opportunities for Creators: The low barrier to entry in podcasting has made it accessible to aspiring creators from diverse backgrounds. This democratization of media has led to an explosion of new voices and perspectives. Podcasting empowers creators to share their expertise, passion, and stories, further enriching the podcasting landscape with diverse content. Complementing Other Media: Podcasts often complement other forms of media, such as movies, TV shows, and books. They offer behind-the-scenes insights, interviews with creators, and discussions that add depth to the audience’s understanding and appreciation of their favourite media. For instance, podcast listeners often enjoy dissecting the latest episodes of popular TV shows, exploring fan theories, and engaging in lively discussions. Building Communities: Podcasts can foster strong communities of listeners who share common interests. These connections extend beyond the podcast itself, creating a sense of belonging and shared interests.

This one-on-one interaction can forge a deep and personal connection with the audience. Expertise and Passion: Many podcast hosts are experts or enthusiasts in their respective fields. Their passion and knowledge shine through in their content, making it engaging and informative. This combination of expertise and enthusiasm adds depth and authenticity to the content. Long-Form Content: Podcasts are not restricted by traditional broadcast timeframes. This freedom allows for in-depth discussions, exploration of complex topics, and unhurried storytelling. Listeners can dive deep into subjects that interest them and immerse themselves in the content. Accessibility: The accessibility of podcasting makes it easy for listeners to explore niche subjects or discover new interests. Whether it’s a hobby, a professional field, or a personal interest, there’s a podcast out there catering to it. The wide range of content options ensures that listeners always find something that appeals to them.

Dr. Prakash S, Sr. Vice President, East Point Group of Institutions, Emphasizes on Importance of Skill Development

/ Interviews

“What we should be able to do is identify the talent DNA of a particular child at an early stage and embed the right skills for that talent,” says Dr. Prakash S, Sr. Vice President, East Point Group of Institutions, in an interview with Pratik Ghosh, Content Writer, ArdorComm Media at the ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ #ELSABengaluru #ELSAKarnataka How are you feeling to witness the New Normal Education Leadership Summit and Awards in Bengaluru? It’s a great experience here, completely packed sessions, nice to listen from Col. (Prof) Y. S. Siddegowda, Higher Education Council’s Vice Chairman, had a lot of insights, and there are many good speakers you have picked for the sessions. The themes are very good, and there’s good networking quite naturally. It’s always getting people moving to get connected. What I feel is that now the technology is going to take the education sector, and a lot of transformation is happening in the education sector post-COVID. This is where all educators, industry, and academic people come to converge at one point. I feel happy that you people have created a great platform for this convergence and where interaction will happen, so it adds a lot of value to all the stakeholders here. The theme of our event is New Normal Karnataka, and Karnataka is an education hub. What’s your take on this? Karnataka, more specifically Bangalore, is a Silicon City where a lot of IT happens. Since the education sector is at the verge of transformation and the National Education Policy (NEP) is in place now, what I see is that the way we deliver education services is going to take a paradigm shift. This is one platform where we have LinkedIn, and people from LinkedIn have participated. LinkedIn is a great platform for learning today, a lot of people know about Anthology, Blackboard, and other companies. So, understanding the technology and how we can integrate it into our teaching and learning process, building it out, is where teachers can understand how to facilitate the teaching-learning process and enhance the productivity for the student and all the stakeholders. What’s your take on skill development? How can the young generation in this 21st century hone skill development for employability? I always tell this, I’ve been speaking at different platforms on this. We have talent on one side and there are skills, competency, and capability. If I want to connect all the four dots, if I go back and see my complete education system, probably in my times, our talent DNA was something different, and we had different skills. What we should be able to do is identify the talent DNA of a particular child at an early stage and embed the right skills for that talent. Then the student will excel in whatever profession they aspire to. Today, it’s all about the skills. LinkedIn, for instance, added around 33 million skill sets onto their platform. It’s not about the degree; the degree has taken a backseat. Now, if you have skills, you are deployable from day one. The focus is shifting towards skilling, and it’s the new norm. ArdorComm Media Group has recently completed 2 years of its existence, any message or wishes for us? It’s a nice initiative, and you are very young. I just came to know that you are just 2 years old. I wish you all the best. You’re doing a great job, especially towards the education sector. You need to continue this and do it at a bigger, larger scale for the next time. I’ll be happy to participate in the next coming events.

Dr. N. R. Bhanumurth, Vice Chancellor, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar School of Economics University, Highlights Significance of Education 4.0 and Digital Innovation

/ Interviews

“We are talking about Education 4.0, where the education sector needs to adapt to the emerging challenges, especially coming from digital innovation,” says Dr. N. R. Bhanumurth, Vice Chancellor, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar School of Economics University, in an interview with Pratik Ghosh, Content Writer, ArdorComm Media at the ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ #ELSABengaluru #ELSAKarnataka How are you feeling to witness the New Normal Education Leadership Summit and Awards in Bangalore? Yeah, this is very interesting, I would say. It’s very timely, where this whole Summit is integrating users and producers of Education technology, and some of the best practices have been highlighted throughout the day. I’m sure the title of this Summit, “New Normal,” is certainly a new normal in the education sector. We are talking about Education 4.0, where the education sector needs to adapt to the emerging challenges, especially coming from digital innovation. At the same time, bridging the gap between supply and demand in the industry, where the necessary skills required for employability of students become a major factor going forward. Especially when we talk about India becoming one of the developed countries, I think the education sector is going to play a very major role, and this Summit is certainly a big contributor to making India a place for the education sector, not only for Indian students but also for attracting more students from abroad. How are you implementing technology in your institution? I’m from a public sector university, and we have synergized our curriculum where the National Education Policy suggests that we can have up to 40% digital learning. We started implementing it slowly and are trying to implement whatever flexibility is available in the National Education policy. We are one of the early universities to implement digital education for our students and make it customized for each student, which gives a lot of flexibility. At the same time, we’re seeing students using resources available on digital platforms. The progress in the Indian education sector has increased inclusivity for all students, but there’s still a long way to go, and some segments still exclude students. That’s where the sector needs to play a major role going forward. Any message or wishes for ArdorComm Media Group, which has recently completed 2 years of its existence? I would say that you are doing a great service to the nation, particularly in bringing together users and producers. My suggestion is that it’s important to equally focus on the public sector. You will play a major role and contribute significantly to the nation. India has been at the forefront of bringing digital public infrastructure, not just for our nation but for the whole world. The aim of ArdorComm Media should be to have inclusivity in terms of getting more public institutions. The long-term game lies in the public sector, in my view. The private sector is short-term, but the long-term game lies in public sector.

TCS Reports Drop in Employee Count in Q2 FY24 as IT Firms Navigate Challenges

/ Human Resource Community

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has reported a decrease in its employee headcount by 6,333 during the second quarter (Q2) of FY24, resulting in a total headcount of 608,985. Furthermore, compared to the same period last year, there has been a reduction of 7,186 employees. In the first quarter (Q1), India’s largest IT company had only added approximately 523 employees. This trend is reflective of the challenges faced by IT firms due to macroeconomic factors and clients’ cautious technology spending. Accenture, a global IT leader, also reported modest headcount growth of 951 employees in their fourth quarter while projecting a subdued 2-5% revenue growth for FY24. However, TCS saw an improvement in voluntary attrition, which dropped to 14.9% from 17.8% in the previous quarter, with expectations of further enhancements in this metric in the future. In the first quarter (Q1), the six prominent Indian IT service companies experienced their most significant decline in headcount over the past three years, particularly during the April-June period. The combined workforce at TCS, Infosys, HCLTech, Wipro, LTIMindtree, and L&T Technology Services (LTTS) contracted by 18,000 employees, a more substantial decrease than the negative 9,000 in the June quarter of 2021, which occurred during the pandemic. Moreover, IT giants have been postponing or reducing campus recruitment drives, opting for a phased approach to hiring. Data from TeamLease reveals that the Indian IT sector is planning to hire 40% fewer fresh graduates compared to the previous fiscal year (FY23) when they onboarded 250,000 engineers. Typically, major IT companies initiate their campus placement processes around August-September, but this year they have been notably absent from campuses during the placement season. TCS is an exception, having set a target of hiring 40,000 freshers for the current fiscal year.

Sapna Sukul, Founder of Edustart Solutions and COO of Boarding School Association of India (BSAI), Highlights the Role of BSAI in Shaping India’s Education Landscape

/ Interviews

“We are trying to bring all the boarding schools together, and the second step is to make partially boarding schools become members,” says Sapna Sukul, Founder of Edustart Solutions and COO of Boarding School Association of India (BSAI), in an interview with Pratik Ghosh, Content Writer, ArdorComm Media at the ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ #ELSABengaluru #ELSAKarnataka How are you feeling to witness the New Normal Education Leadership Summit and Awards in Bengaluru? I have come just for this Summit. I flew down from Delhi for this, and I know ArdorComm founder, Chandan very well. The reason I came all the way for this is because of his hard work, dedication, and the way he thinks about how he wants education to be in the future. I wanted to contribute to this panel discussion where the founder of this Association is so much involved in bringing education and educationists together for the new normal. As you know, the theme of our event is New Normal Karnataka. What’s your take on this? When I came here, I knew that I’m going to a country of legends who are visionary and who know more than what we want to ask them. So, I was well prepared. I did my little research about what I’m going to ask and how I’m going to ask. It wasn’t a surprise because I was prepared, and all educationists here are well-versed with the system and the knowledge they are imparting to the students. It was a very good learning experience. I call myself a learner because wherever you go, you just learn a lot about people, demography of the place, and how the schools are doing. It was a wonderful experience. Could you share about EduStart Solutions and what you are providing? So, EduStart Solutions was formed during the pandemic, just before the pandemic. I am a master trainer with British Council and an ambassador with British Council. However, it took me a little further. I do audits of schools, I’m a trainer with schools, I’m a trainer with a few publishers, and I’m also an English examiner for various assessments and jury for many awards. As you can see in this kind of forums where we bring in education leaders, EdTech players, as well as the government, how does this kind of forum benefit the education sector? It bridges the gap between the government and the private sector because everybody works in their own silo. Government works the way they want, and so when such platforms exist, government dignitaries come, private schools come, and they share their common views on a platform where it is organized. It’s very important to bridge the gap by bringing leaders from both sides. In my new role with the Boarding Schools Association of India, I feel that we need government support because all boarding schools will require government initiatives. Any initiatives which you would like to highlight that you have taken in the Boarding School Association? We are trying to bring all the boarding schools together, and the second step is to make partially boarding schools become members. Once we become a big cohort run only by boarding school members, our association will have heritage schools, standalone schools, and the big schools of India, which have been running for 100 years or more. I’m sure the schools coming up with boarding will benefit a lot from these leaders who are leading such institutions. ArdorComm Media has completed two years of its existence. Any message or wishes for us? For me, ArdorComm Media is Ashish and Chandan. So, when Chandan started his journey with ArdorComm Media, I wished him then, and I wish him again for the second year. We can see the success of this event, and I’m sure it will go to the next level within a few years. I’m also happy that this is the only media that deals with mass media communication, so I wish them all the best.

Prof. (Dr.) Raj Singh, Vice Chancellor, JAIN (Deemed to be University), Discusses the Future of Education at the New Normal Education Leadership Summit

/ Interviews

“Through normal traditional teaching and learning methods, we cannot attain higher-order learning outcomes, and that doesn’t serve the purpose of the industry,” says Prof. (Dr.) Raj Singh, Vice Chancellor, JAIN (Deemed to be University), in an interview with Pratik Ghosh, Content Writer, ArdorComm Media at the ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ #ELSABengaluru #ELSAKarnataka How are you feeling to witness the New Normal Education Leadership Summit and Awards in Bengaluru? It’s a great initiative, one that not only brings the industry and academia on the same platform but also enables interaction of multiple institutions, exchange of ideas, and benefits from the best practices which every other institution is following. The topic of today’s discussion was very relevant, particularly in the post-National Education Policy scenario, which is also coinciding with the post-COVID scenario, as we call it. To my mind, there’s nothing like the “new normal” because the new normal keeps on changing every day. This new normal is very dynamic. I think it is safe to guess that, to my mind, the environment which is evolving would say that one-third of the education will be delivered through online content, which could be synchronous or asynchronous. One-third of it will be through face-to-face education on campuses, where certain projects and certain lab sessions need to be conducted on the campus to interact with professors. The remaining one-third will be shifted outside the campus, where students have to be in touch with the industry, community, and society. They will meet and talk to them, identify the issues they’re facing, come back to the campus, undertake research projects, and try to find solutions to those problems. All the panel discussions were relevant, emphasizing research-based teaching and learning and a multi-disciplinary environment. These are ways to expand learning opportunities and enable students to attain higher-order learning outcomes, which is the need of the hour. Through normal traditional teaching and learning methods, we cannot attain higher-order learning outcomes, and that doesn’t serve the purpose of the industry. It is because of this reason we have been labelled to a large extent unfairly, that we don’t produce employable graduates. But yes, there are some issues which I think these kinds of platforms enable us to learn and tell others through the exchange of ideas. I’m sure we collectively will benefit and be able to transform our education system, where we not only serve the industry but also serve the community and society at large. I thank ArdorComm Media for having me here. Any message for ArdorComm Media Group for completing two years of its existence? Heartiest congratulations on completing two years. You have been doing great work. I’ve attended many events organized by you. Keep on doing this good work, and maybe we can interact on bringing new formats of this kind of conference and discussions where we can involve more people, not only speakers but more people who can contribute. Sometimes the best ideas come from youngsters, not only from senior people like us. If you can have a discussion format where multiple sub-topics could be distributed and they could talk on each of them after having intense discussions.

Dr. Sami Ulla, CEO of Manipal Group of Schools, Shares Insights on the Future of Education at New Normal Leadership Summit

/ Interviews

“We are completely technology-enabled. We have hybrid and blended teaching and learning techniques,” says Dr. Sami Ulla, CEO of Manipal Group of Schools, in an interview with Pratik Ghosh, Content Writer, ArdorComm Media at the ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ #ELSABengaluru #ELSAKarnataka How are you feeling to witness the New Normal Education Leadership Summit and Awards in Bengaluru? Oh, it’s amazing. I’m attending for the first time, but it’s organized well. Beautiful atmosphere, and I think the entire industry fraternity, both from K-12 and higher education, we could get to see here. It was very thought-provoking sessions, and we get to know and learn many things from this. I’m really very grateful to ArdorComm Media for organizing this and having me here. Thank you so much. As you know, the theme of our event is “New Normal Karnataka.” What’s your take on this? See, luckily for us, Bangalore is a very IT-savvy city compared to all other cities in the country, and a large number of educational institutions have implemented technology. But again, as we had the session, the rural areas are pretty missed out for this implementation, either be the end-user devices, network, or the content. So, they are pretty left behind. I wish Karnataka, as a state, takes up this, and the country as such also. Technology is the future, and our students have to be digitally competent to face the future. How are you implementing these new age technologies in your institution? We are completely technology-enabled. We have hybrid and blended teaching and learning techniques. Much of the activities happen in the school, and the remedial part, the regular assessments, and the external engagement happen outside the campus. So, we have made sure that we use all the tools, either Google-sponsored tools or Apple or Microsoft. We have implemented the best tools of these companies. ArdorComm Media Group has recently completed two years of its existence, any message or wishes for us? Wonderful! Congratulations for coming into this space. I think it’s a win-win situation for the education industry and perhaps for the Media as such. I congratulate and wish you all the luck and keep having such programs where educationists can come and learn many things from these kinds of events. Thanks for organizing this.
