BANGALORE: The University Grants Commission ( UGC) has said this before. And, Karnataka is now reiterating it. The Karnataka State Higher Education Council has recommended to start multi-campus courses, inter-college and inter-university credit transfer system by 2020.
In its vision document for the year 2020, the state's think-thank in higher education has proposed to introduce in a phased manner after piloting in at least five institutions. With this, students will be free to move from one university to another as the varsities will follow the same credit system.
"This system will have another advantage. As of now, universities in Karnataka work in isolated patches. For instance, Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) is meant only for technological courses and no other disciplines.
With this system, we will also look at facilitating universities to start other courses so that there is universality," said S C Sharma, vice-chairman.
The Vision 2020 document also highlights the problems faced by the state varsities today. One of them is the growing localisation of the state university system.
"Increasingly the state universities are becoming sites of academic inbreeding. Most teachers and students come from the same or contiguous regions as the location of the university. Only rarely does it reflect a truly state-wide, let alone a national, outlook in the choice of the faculty and students," it said. Credit transfer might prove to be a solution for this problem as well.
