The UGC is planning to track the progress of students after they complete their course. A task force is being constituted by the apex regulatory body for higher education, to frame the policy.
Commenting on the issue, Association of University Teachers former general secretary C Pichandy said, "Tracking student's progression after they complete their course is a difficult task. Instead of going after the students, the UGC should ask all colleges to maintain a directory or information repository and collect details like campus interview placements, what is the rate of employment of students after a period of one year's time, whether a student has got a job, or doing business or consultancy, or went on to pursue higher education or sitting idle. Colleges could be asked to develop an alumni portal and link it to UGC's website."
