Port Blair, Aug 13: In a move to improve the students’ career prospects, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has approved a proposal to allow students to pursue two degree programmes at the same time. One of the degrees has to be in the regular mode (college / University) and the other either in open and distance learning or online.  A student can pursue two degrees in different streams as well as from different institutions. S/he may also opt for the same institution, provided it offers multiple mode of learning. For more details visit UGC website.
