HYDERABAD: State universities such as Osmania University (OU) and Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTUH) are moving forward to align their programmes with the National Education Policy-2020 (NEP-2020) by not only introducing new courses but also by planning to revise the curriculum for a few courses.
The central government had announced NEP-2020 in order to bring in more flexibility, uniformity and holistic learning at primary and higher education level. Following this, the state universities have constituted a committee in their board of studies to not only review the existing curriculum but also to recommend revisions.
OU vice-chancellor professor D Ravinder has constituted a committee that is looking into the revision of the curriculum to introduce more specialisations from the next academic year. After conducting a series of meetings with all the stakeholders, the JNTUH is set to initiate phase 1 of reforms wherein it will not only introduce new courses but will extend greater flexibility to students to pursue their courses.
