Students are permitted to study courses given by the University at large which are in the area of the student’s individual interest. This will hopefully provide better orientation and more interdisciplinary communication relevant to the student’s academic pursuits.
Electives are divided into the following two categories.
Courses selected by the student, but restricted to a certain theme area of the recommended core programme, thus termed theme elective (TE). Departmental approval required.
Courses selected by the student without restrictions as long as the course is approved by Senate. Courses in this category are termed free electives (FE). Departmental approval is suggested.
Each student pursuing a degree in BE.S./ARCH must have accumulated 1% course credits in the theme area of Ecology by or before his 6th academic term.
‘Each student pursuing a degree in B/Arch must have’ course credits
in the theme area of Ecology by or before his 10th academic term.
