Bharathidasan University to offer 4-year B.S. course
Tiruchi: Bharathidasan University has announced to introduce four-year Bachelors in Science programmes through its departments and affiliated art and science colleges.
The courses are planned to begin from the academic year 2010-11.
The idea, which had gained the approval from the University Grants Commission (UGC), would be also unique as the university is the first to offer UG programmes through its departments.
The B.S. courses that will be offered by the university departments include Computer Science, Biotechnology, Bioinformatics and Geoscience with a maximum intake of 20 students per course.
Vice Chancellor of the varsity, M. Ponnavaikko has said that in addition to the above courses, colleges that are affiliated with the university will also be allowed to offer B. S. in Electronics, and admit a maximum of 40 students for each course.
The university has already received applications from private and self-financing colleges to offer the courses and some of them are now being considered.
The VC announced that the university had approached the Association of Indian Universities and Anna University (Tamil Nadu) to consider these courses as equivalent to B.E. and B.Tech programmes.
This move would allow students of B.S. to further pursue M.Tech or M.E. courses offered by other universities.
