The University Grants Commission has decided to revise the draft of the National Higher Education Qualifications Framework (NHEQF) that established certain assessment parameters for students of higher education, from the undergraduate level to PhD. The decision comes in the wake of the changes in the guidelines of the National Skill Qualifications Framework (NSQF).

The draft of the NHEQF that was published on 30 January states that there would be 6 levels of qualifications in higher education, from the undergraduate certificate that could be acquired after a year of study in the graduation level up to the Master’s degree and PhD.
