NEP also recommends integrating vocational education with general education and strengthening industry-academia collaboration in HEls. Towards this, the UGC has taken a new initiative to bring the industry and other professional expertise into the academic institutions through a new category of positions called “Professor of Practice” (PoP). This will help to take real world practices and experience into the class rooms and also augment the faculty resources in higher education institutions. In turn, the industry and society will benefit from the trained graduates equipped with the relevant skills.
