Draft guidelines for Skills Universities are formulated by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) in consultation with multiple stakeholders including Skills Universities. These are placed on the MSDE website for comments/ feedback.

Comments and suggestions may be sent at paritosh.gupta95@nic.in or submitted on MyGov.in by 21st October 2018.

National Policy for Skill Development & Entrepreneurship 2015 emphasized the importance of Skills Universities to be promoted either as de-novo institutions or as a part of existing university landscape. Further, in the wake of Skill India Mission, a number of universities with the nomenclature of “Skills Universities” have come up. However, they are following different norms and varying nomenclature for the degrees awarded, in the absence of common standards in the skills arena.

Skills based education differs from its general counterpart in terms of curriculum, pedagogy, faculty, mode of delivery, eligibility and assessment criteria, etc. and thus, would require a separate set of norms. The purpose of these guidelines is to lay down minimum norms for the establishment and functioning of Skills Universities to ensure adherence to minimum standards as India ventures into these new skilling avenues.

These guidelines do not intend to supersede the extant UGC norms regarding the regulation of higher education in India.

In today's time in engineering universities they have those subject which are not new as per the technology and they don't have very skilled faculty also for e.g the latest technologies in computer Science are Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Cloud Computing etc. but the universities doesn't provide such courses or practicals and because of that the student lack in their career. So the Skill Universities should have such a syllabus which is latest & practicals also done in them.

In an Engineering or diploma or whatever it may be, the Universities have to frame the syllabus in such a way that,at the end of the course(at least for one year) students have to thoroughly study the skills(practically)related to his area of study. In the beginning, let them study the other required things concerned to the degree.Immediately after getting the degree, the industries have to directly recruit the students from the college.Tie up btwen the Univer,colege and industry is essential

Govt.should not commit a mistake like it did in the establishments of Private Engineering Colleges. Skill universities must ensure Campus Placements to all skilled students studying there. Secondly,Skill Universities must be linked with industries.Its better if big industrial houses are involved in the establishment of Skill Universities. Curriculum must be such that it meets the needs of skills for 21st century job requirements. Skill University must bring out future ready skilled force.

skill uni. concept is getting late. it should come immediately when youth is struggling for jobs. this uni. will open new avenues for most students who are fighting with the gap of employment and employability. first this uni. should open in cosmopolitan cities like Delhi, Calcutta , Chennai, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Bhopal, Lucknow . They should be interlinked. Mentors of these uni. should be high profiled Skilled person and should be updated with latest trends.

Sir,it has been seen good univ are not producing skilled men and fakes are also many.a middle path is required where traditional skills get a formal recognition and formal skills get a industry touch.For this adoption of traditional skills by univ is necessary and compulsory internship with Armed forces/Govt. sector should be there.

The Skills Universities should have close links with Industries. This is essential to provide on the job training. The students should also have options to learn skills such as music, painting, photography, sports coaching, building construction, repair and maintenance, driving, pilot training etc. Industry links should be established with direct participation of Industries in the University setup. Also, the job opportunities should be assured for those coming out of these skills universities.

The proposal to start Skills Universities is a very good proposal. However, some of the skills such as Computer Programming skills are rapidly evolving. These skill sets are changing with time. As we can see, programming languages, operating systems, hardware platforms, with respect to computer software and hardware skills are rapidly changing. For skills which are somewhat static with respect to time, the skills training goes a long way. Skills training departments can be added in univs.

In the conventional Engineering and technology courses for B-tech pl.include an compulsory assignment for students by which students will dismantle and again boxup a complicated machine back to its working state. This will help create good and effective teachers for further imparting skill training in would be coming skill varsities. Otherwise India will have to continue to depend on half baked roadside skill personnel for skilling jobs.Preplanning for teachers is a must.

स्किल यूनिवर्सिटी की जहाँ तक बात है यह कुछ इस तरह बनाई जाएँ कि प्रायोगिक तौर तरीकों से चीज़ें सिखाई जाएँ तथा जो लोग तकनीकी रूप से ज्यादा सक्षम हैं तथा उन्होंने अपने आपको नई तकनीक के अनुसार उन्नयन भी किया है| उन्हें उस विषय में डिग्री प्रदान की जाये ताकि उनका यह तकनीकी ज्ञान उस संस्थान के काम आ सके तथा जो आगे ना बढ़ पाने कि घोर निराशा उन्हें घेरे हुए है वह भी दूर हो सके | माननीय कौशल विकास तभी संभव है जब किताबी ज्ञान के साथ साथ हम तकनीकी ज्ञान को भी वरीयता दें|
