Multiple entries and exits
The courses are skill-based, choice-based and cross-disciplinary, trans-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary in nature that would provide the students the option of electives across the disciplines as per the objectives of the new National Education Policy (NEP), the Vice-Chancellor said.
“Students who want to exit at first year can avail themselves of a certificate in Arts/Science, exit at the second year will get them a diploma, exit at the third year will get them a degree and the successful completion of four years will get them BA/BSc Honours,” the statement read.
The students have the provision to continue their education to postgraduation as well as PhD, Prof Venugopal said. He said after the completion of a three-year degree, students may pursue specialisation in particular subject or can study research for one year.
The Vice-Chancellor said the BA Honours course is in major subjects such as history, economics, political science, sociology, mass communication and journalism, and in minor subjects such as psychology, performing arts, visual arts, women studies and the electives in science, engineering, commerce and management.
