The new subjects that will be added in the exam are:
- Sociology
- Home science
- Atmospheric and Ocean studies
- Globalization and Development studies
- Material science
- Cognitive science
Rest of the two subjects will be offered by Rajiv Gandhi Chair and Govind Ballabh Pant Social Science Institute. Henceforth, the exam will have 47 subjects instead of 40.
The exam will be conducted once the admission cell receives the syllabus of all eight new courses. The applications for the exam were to be invited from May 1 and the entrance exam was to be conducted in the month of June. But as information on departmental vacancies in each subject is yet to reach the authorities, the exam could not be held as scheduled. Read more
