The Higher and Technical Education Department of the state announced that colleges are required to start offering AEDP programs in the 2025-26 academic year, admitting at least 300 students in the first year of the programme.
The University of Mumbai (MU) has announced the launch of 20 undergraduate Apprenticeship Embedded Degree Programme (AEDP) programmes from the academic session 2025-26. The Mumbai University AEDP programmes will be offered through the university's Garware Institute of Career Education and Development. The programme will also include the apprenticeship training in collaboration with the industry leaders.
The action comes after the Maharashtra government approved the execution of AEDP in all non-agricultural public universities and eligible institutions, in accordance with the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The earlier issued resolution by the Higher and Technical Education Department has directed that the universities will have to commence the AEDP programme from the academic session 2025-26 and to enrol a minimum of 300 students in the first year.
Courses Offered Under AEDP
Mumbai University is offering the following courses under AEDP 2025:
- B.Sc. in Paint Technology, Fitness, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Aeronautics, and Biomedical Instrumentation Science
- Bachelor’s in Interior Design
- BA in Advertising, Communication and Design
- BMS (Bachelor of Management Studies) specialisations including Customs Clearance and Logistics, Travel and Tourism Management, Capital Markets, Event Management and Public Relations.
The programme will be offered in partnership with the reputed industrial and professional bodies, with a mandatory apprenticeship training. The three-year degree programme will be completed in at least one semester with 20 credits for apprenticeship. On the other hand, four-year courses will undergo two semesters of on-the-job training. Students will be provided with stipends during the apprenticeships and academic credits under the NEP 2020 credit framework.
