Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, a deemed-to-be university, launched a slew of online degree programmes under the brand ‘Amrita Ahead’ in the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
Besides BBA, MBA, BCA and MCA, two other MCA programmes in Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity are being offered. Students will receive placement support from the university’s career assistance programme as well. The programmes are recognised by the University Grants Commission, officials said.
Vice-Chancellor P.

UGC allows top universities to set up campuses abroad
India’s top ranked universities with Institute of Eminence status, such as the Indian Institutes of Technology and Indian Institute of Science, can now set up branch campuses abroad after India’s higher education regulator the University Grants Commission (UGC) this month amended its regulations to allow them to set up offshore campuses.
Public or private ‘Institutes of Eminence’ would have to submit an application to the Ministry of Education with details of their 10-year strategic vision plan and a five-year implementation plan, including academic plans, faculty recruitment, student admissions plan, research, infrastructure development, financial, administrative and governance plans, with clear annual milestones and identifiable outcomes, according to the UGC, which will also review the applications together with an Empowered Experts Committee.
