Patna: Patna University (PU) on Tuesday decided to introduce a dual degree scheme for students.
The decision was taken at a meeting of the university’s academic council chaired by vice-chancellor Ajay Kumar Singh.
According to the decision, the dual degree programme will be implemented strictly in accordance with University Grants Commission (UGC) guidelines. Under the scheme, one degree will be awarded through an online course, while the second degree will be pursued through an offline programme.
The academic council also decided that PhD programmes would not be included under the dual degree system.
During the meeting, the council further approved a proposal received from the Sainik Welfare Board for introduction of a bachelor’s programme in human resource management for ex-Army personnel.
