The central government has been keen on making and improving the standard of education in India. There are many changes that have been made in the recent times that are actually aimed at improving the higher education in the country. The University Grants Commission (UGC) also has been making a few changes in this direction. In a recent development, the UGC has approved the introduction of some new courses that are based on skill development. The new courses that have been launched are skill-based courses.
The UGC has given its approval to six universities and these new courses are Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotics, Bachelor in Vocational (B. Voc) Degree, Digital Marketing Fundamentals, Fundamentals of Patents, Private Banking, Export and Import Documentation etc. All these courses are of new age and there are demands of these in the market. These courses are the ones that can provide ample job opportunities to the students. Apart from this, the universities have been told to send their requests for the approval of the courses that are to be sanctioned by UGC.

One of the senior members of the association of VC said, “AI, Machine Learning and IoT being introduced as degree programs demonstrates how, with the help of technology, we have moved from spanners and drilling machines to something that can function like humans. It will go down in history that students of this age are getting degree courses like these.” The ongoing time needs such courses and the universities have to come up with the same so that the rising demand can be met for the future. These courses will change the face of the job market in the times to come.
