Key features of the revised structure include curriculum revision, modification of academic structure of degrees/diplomas/certificates, the introduction of an academic banking system (ABC), a multiple entry-and-exit system, flexible course selection, introduction of skill enhancement courses, making internship as part of UG-certificate, UG-diploma and degree requirements and the incorporation of industry-oriented internships as part of UG requirements.
Prof. B. N. Tripathi, Vice Chancellor of SKUAST-Jammu lauded the adoption of the 6th Deans’ Committee recommendations as a pivotal moment for the university.
