The Central University of Kashmir has implemented a number of measures, including fee waivers for deserving and needy students, in order to increase admissions to the university. Professor A. Ravinder Nath, the university's Vice Chancellor, made the announcement.
"We will be providing 100 per cent tuition fee waiver to 10 per cent students based on merit and financial need of the students in the post-graduate courses, another 10 per cent students will get 50 per cent waiver while another 10 per cent will get 25 per cent waiver," Nath was quoted as saying by PTI.
Nath also assured that the varsity is ensuring that the curriculum is being designed in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The vice chancellor said the university will sign MoUs with the industries in other parts of the country to enable the students to undertake internship.
Nath stated that the university will implement a credit-based system in which students can transfer credits from other partner universities to gain international experience. He also stated that now that the NTA is conducting CUET UG and PG for college admissions, "our students must take advantage of that, primarily from this region, Jammu and Kashmir, to explore further opportunities for their career progression not only at the Central University of Kashmir, but also at other premier institutions in the country," he added.
