Strategically located across Bengaluru, our schools and centres reverberate with lively student life at every corner
The University believes strongly that implementation of NEP requires institutional readiness. Towards this end, specific orientation of Faculty towards the understanding the vision, mission and policy issues envisaged in NEP 2020, was organized an in-house Faculty awareness competition - "JIGISHA" in April 2022 through an elaborate questionnaire of MCQs, to evaluate the understanding of the Faculty in regard to the nuances of NEP 2020. This unique exercise has largely kindled the needful interest and motivation amongst the faculty to read the policy document not only from the point of view of understanding but also its implementation in the university.
In addition, the University has embarked upon JAIN 2.0 (2020-30)
Creative design thinking and unique signature ideas are a hallmark of JAIN 2.0 which has already initiated to offer to its learners, a unique HE ecosystem aligned to and beyond the recommendations of NEP 2020. We as JAIN 2.0 recognize that several shifts are imminent necessities of the future educational processes and have initiated several innovative changes taking cognizance of national priorities as well as global trends, with a commitment not only to be a compliance plus university but also one with a difference! We have embarked on reinventing ourselves to deliver to our students, academic, social, intellectual, economic and moral values at their best, in tune with the emerging calls of renaissance in HE delivery and services as envisaged in the NEP 2020. As we move into the future endeavours of the higher education realm, we are committed to take a quantum leap forward in terms of grooming the youth to be future-ready, and contribute not only towards national development in line with the societal priorities but also acquire competencies to be a global citizen. JAIN envisages to not only adopt the aspirational and transformative changes envisaged in the NEP 2020 but also work towards enlightening our students to imbibe a deep understanding of the UN-SDGs of 2030. JAIN 2.0 envisages to ensure that Jainites are a cut above the rest in their knowledge base, depth of learning, as also impeccable personal attitudes, curated culture and graduate attributes that are signature qualities nurtured by the institution since its inception. The following are the USPs of JAIN as developed over the last over a decade:
To foster Human Development through Excellence in Quality Education, Research and Entrepreneurial Development
JAIN 2.0 has set its foot to plan, strategize and implement the NEP 2020 and has prioritized the following five pillars of its education philosophy :
True to its motto of Educational Service for Global Excellence with National Relevance, Jain is continuing its quest for becoming a world class Tier 1 university through its honest endeavors.An expose of what JAIN has already implemented and what more is on its anvil of aspirations with regard to adopting the NEP 2020 is detailed hereunder.
JAIN (Deemed-to-be-University) as JAIN 1.0 was already a large multidisciplinary University and aspires to strive towards becoming a Tier-I University through phase-wise and timely adoption of the objectives as envisaged in the NEP 2020.
The University has redesigned its integrated Undergraduate and Postgraduate education by aligning with the UGC guidelines on Multiple Entry and Multiple Exit System wherein the differential levels of outcome are mapped as we move from level 5 to level 10 as envisaged in the UGC-NHEQF 2022. The design of JAIN 2.0 for its UG education is summarised in the illustration given below, and towards this the guidelines have also been made and circulated.
Beginning with the academic year 2022-2023 admissions for UG shall be commenced as per the UGC-NHEQF, with incorporation of multidisciplinary and holistic education and with JAIN-specific nomenclatures :
JAIN has integrated courses for all its UG programmes, in compliance with the recommendations of the UGC NHEQF which include:
OBE has been progressively introduced in all programmes of JAIN encompassing both UG & PG programmes. The efforts are continuing in JAIN 2.0. The system provides for technology integration, creation of question banks, with each question mapped to learning outcomes and then measuring the attainment of PEOs, POs and COs. The University has restructured its curriculum based on the UGC recommendations LOCF, with flexible choices offered to learners.
For strengthening multidisciplinarity, JAIN has adopted learning through research and entrepreneurship projects as illustrated in the diagram below:
It is believed that the project-centric learning opportunity provided to the students would be a tactical opportunity for both UG and PG students to develop creativity, innovation and hands on skills:
Projects under PCL will be chosen from social sector and real issues faced by the industry and community, to promote entrepreneurship / solo-preneurship / Risepreneurship in students. Such Trans-disciplinary projects are intended to move beyond the bridging of divides within academia, to engaging directly with the production and use of knowledge outside of the academy.
As per the directives of the NEP 2020, inter, multi and trans-disciplinary Learning opportunities shall be made available across the streams - Science / Commerce / Arts, giving due weightage to Languages, Co-/ Extra-curricular activities and sports as undertaken by the Student.
