To encourage multi-disciplinary concept and ensure a cross-culture atmosphere in the classrooms, the Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE) has decided to open up the humanities courses to all streams of students at the post-graduate level, ensure the transfer of academic credits between different institutions and allow pursing one subject from the open university.
Unlike the previous years, students planning to pursue PG courses in social sciences and humanities streams like Public Administration, History, Economics, Psychology, Political Science, English and Telugu can do so even if they are from science and mathematics background at the UG level.
Earlier, for entry into these courses students had to mandatorily study them as an elective or as an optional subject in their degree. “It means B.Sc students or B.Com students or those from engineering and medical course backgrounds too can study all the Social Sciences and Humanities courses at PG level,” said TSCHE chairman, Prof. R. Limbadri. The decision was taken at the Vice-Chancellors’ meeting on Monday and it was attended by the Commissioner of Collegiate Education, Naveen Mittal.
