Refresher Course

The Refresher course will be of two weeks duration, with a minimum of 12 working days and 72 contact hours (six hours a day, six days a week).

Eligibility Criteria

•  Faculty members working in universities and colleges that are included under Section 2(f) of the UGC Act. The teachers of colleges that do not yet come within the purview of Section 2(f), but have been affiliated to a university for at least three years, will be permitted to participate in the courses. These conditions are applicable only for Residential Training Programmes/Courses.

•  For the Refresher course, participation in the FIP is a prerequisite for admission. The teacher may opt for a refresher course after a one-year gap following FIP. For residential RCs, there should be a minimum gap of one year between two refresher courses, though it maybe relaxed if an adequate number of participants are not available, or it is essential for the teacher to fulfill eligibility conditions for career advancement as prescribed by UGC from time-to-time.
