Now Higher Education Commission has replaced UGC, NCTE, AICTE, understand in 5 points how this will be beneficial for students..

The existence of University Grants Commission (UGC), All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), and National Council for Teachers Education (NCTE) is going to end soon. The Ministry of Education is preparing to form a new Higher Education Commission in place of these three institutions regulating higher education; the work of preparing the draft is going on. Let us understand in 5 points how the students will benefit from the formation of the Higher Education Commission.

Till now, universities are regulated by UGC, technical institutes and universities by AICTE, and educational institutions by NCTE. All three issue instructions and guidelines at their level. There is confusion among the students about the working powers of all three institutions. The formation of the Higher Education Commission will bring uniformity in the higher education system.

Students will also benefit from this.

The formation of the Higher Education Commission will stop fraud in the name of recognition of colleges. It has come to light many times in the past that the fraudulent institutes claim to be affiliated with some institute, but UGC has been terming them as fake. With the formation of the commission, students will be able to get clear information about this.

It is believed that with the formation of the Higher Education Commission, there will be some uniformity in the matter of higher education fees. Also, students will get a strong platform to complain about unnecessary fees. Till now, in such cases, students are confused as to where to complain. Many times, even after complaining, many agencies say that it is outside their jurisdiction.

Bringing various agencies regulating higher education in the country under the Higher Education Commission can help in making higher education employable. Till now, higher education agencies have provided degree-based education. With the coming into existence of the Higher Education Commission, the curriculum of higher education can be made employable.

Currently, there are preparations to bring UGC, NCTE, and AICTE under the Higher Education Commission. It is believed that in the future, colleges of other streams, including medical colleges, can also be included in this. This can open the option of a single exam for all types of higher education in the future. Currently, exams like NEET, JEE, CUET are conducted for entry into higher education.
