Degree Students in Telangana Will be Able Earn While Learning Soon

Degree Students | Hyderabad, April 27 (Maxim News): Degree students in Telangana will soon be able to earn while they learn the course along with gaining industry related skills.

The Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE) in collaboration with State universities will roll out new skill development courses that enable students to get paid internships during the course work itself and a job after under-graduation.

To help students acquire industry skills, 10 skill development courses including retailing, e-commerce, operations and logistics, content and creative writing, media and entertainment, animation, entertainment and pharmacy and allied courses will be introduced from the next academic year. B.Com and BBA students are allowed to take retailing, e-commerce, operations and logistics courses, while B.Sc students can opt for pharm related and animation courses and BA students can choose creative writing, media and entertainment courses.

Students can opt for these courses as a major commencing in the first year of the undergraduation or as a minor in the second – year of course work. Upon completion of the course, a certificate will be issued by the Sector Skill Councils. While there are 1,054 degree colleges including the government and private in the state, this new initiative will be launched in 103 colleges that recorded the highest number of admission in the last couple of years. Of the total colleges that have been selected, 37 are government and remaining are private and 56 colleges alone are under the Osmania University jurisdiction.

Out of 10 chosen skill development courses, the colleges will be allowed to offer only one or two courses with a maximum of 60 students in each course. The best part of the initiative is that colleges will be mapped to the industry concerned, which offers paid internships to the tune of Rs. 6,000 to Rs. 10,000 per month and guaranteed job on completion of under graduation.

The TSCHE and State Universities will be holding a meeting on Friday to create a roadmap for implementation of these skill development courses. (Maxim News)
