The multi-disciplinary approach of the course including economics, computer science and research methods immensely benefit the students.
*4-year Undergraduate Degree (Honours with Research)
This is to inform all the concerned that as envisaged in NEP2020, the University has introduced a 4-year Undergraduate (UG) Degree (Honours with Research) from the academic year 2022-23
The students who secure 75% marks or a 7.5 CGPAand above, in the first six semesters, and wish to undertake research at the UG level can choose a research stream in the fourth year.
Such students should do a research project or dissertation under the guidance of a faculty member of the University. The research project/dissertation will be in the major discipline. The students who secure 160 credits, including 12 credits from a research project/dissertation, are awarded a 4-year UG Degree (Honours with Research).
