Osmania University has announced that it will offer physical or life-sciences courses at the postgraduate level for doctors, engineers and pharmacists from next academic year. The students will be able to pursue professional science courses irrespective of the subjects they have studied at the undergraduate level. At present, students need to have an undergraduate degree in life-sciences or physical sciences to pursue MSc courses at the university.
During a recent meeting, the University officials decided to relax this norm allowing engineering, MBBS and Pharmacy graduates into MSc programmes, subject to qualifying for the Common Post Graduate Entrance Test (CPGET).
“We have decided to allow engineering, MBBS and Pharmacy graduates for the MSc admissions from the 2023-24 academic year. This will bring an interdisciplinary approach. With students from different educational backgrounds, the classroom composition will also change,” OU Vice Chancellor Prof D Ravinder told Telangana Today.
"This initiative will not only increase admissions in the colleges but also enable professionals to take up research in their area of interest at the postgraduate level. The university has also opened up postgraduate Commerce admissions to students who have pursued any course at the undergraduate level," he added.
He further informed that the university is not planning to introduce any new courses at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels in the forthcoming academic year.
