AP CM issues directions to make 10-month internship compulsory for graduation courses
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has directed officials to make 10 months of internships mandatory for graduation courses. This was done at a review meeting with the Higher Education Department held on Friday.
The CM stated that the internships should be in three phases, with 2 months for the first year, 2 months for the second year, and 6 months for the third year. He instructed the authorities to ensure a considerable rise in the Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER), noting that the state government is putting in place measures to achieve this goal.
The Chief Minister said, “Fee reimbursement is being provided under Vidya Devena and the charges for accommodation under Vasathi Deevena so that poverty won’t deprive a student of pursuing higher education. GER should be more than 80 percent.” He further said that higher education courses should be job-oriented while adding that supplementary courses and special courses should be added to the existing courses. “Students should become proficient in English to increase communication skills and to provide the best training to students for GRE and GMAT exams,” he said.
