SWAYAM: SWAYAM's online courses will be reviewed and deficiencies addressed; universities have been asked to submit their information by March 10..

SWAYAM: There's some relief for students and professionals across the country. The government is reviewing over 18,000 courses offered free of charge on the SWAYAM platform, a study network for active learning for young, ambitious minds. Subjects offered on the SWAYAM platform, including engineering, humanities, social sciences, agriculture, skills, multidisciplinary, vocational or skill-based, and management, will be reviewed. Further changes to their curriculum will be made based on this review.

Report by March 10th is mandatory
New courses will also be added to connect students with employment. The Ministry of Education is preparing to review and revise SWAYAM courses. To this end, University Grants Commission (UGC) Secretary Prof. Manish Joshi has written to all states and universities, urging them to map free online courses to their academic curriculum for the January 2026 semester and arrange for credit transfer. All higher education institutions must submit their reports on the courses and shortcomings by March 10th, based on which the review will be conducted.

Several points, including the selection of an appropriate language, are addressed.

The aim is to facilitate the alignment of courses to the specific needs of universities. This includes the selection of the appropriate language for the course itself, the level of the course (postgraduate), the NCRF, the list of subjects, the courses to be included in the next semester, and any specific course design the institution may wish to introduce.
