Four year BS instead of 3 yr BSc
May 13th, 2008
Following is an excerpt from a report in ibnlive.com.
The three-year Bachelor of Science course could soon be phased out across the country and replaced by a four-year BS course based on the American model.
In the new course, students in the first year will study core science subjects.
From the second year they will specialise and choose their electives.
The Bangalore-based Indian Institute of Science and the Indian Institutes of Technology could be the first ones to introduce the four-year programme.
…
The proposal is the brainchild of the National Knowledge Commission, which is headed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
