As per the institute, this amendment will be effective from the academic session 2024-2025. Under the existing provisions, changes to optional, elective, or subsidiary subjects in any semester of undergraduate or postgraduate courses were previously prohibited, the notification states.
Now, students can change their optional, elective, or subsidiary subjects if they fail multiple times in a particular paper. Candidates who register for the new subject must note that they will have to fulfil all academic requirements, including internal assessments and attendance, and earn the necessary credits to pass. The decision aims to provide students with greater flexibility and support in completing their academic requirements through this alteration.
