Now, state-level test must for cross-stream PG admissions

The move comes in order to accomodate students who wish to switch thier subject streams and have not appeared for Common University Entrance Test (CUET) in the relevant subject.
The decision marks the end of traditional eligibility norms. Until now, BA graduates could pursue an MA in any of the 26 disciplines, BCom graduates were also eligible for an MA or MCom and BSc students could opt for either an MSc or MA without any eligibilty tests.
From the current academic session, such flexibility has been discontinued. Students from BA and BCom backgrounds will be considered for MSc or other science PG courses only if they clear CUET or state elibility test in the specific subject.
Confirming the development, Tulsi Ram Dahayat, OSD, department of higher education, said, "Following requests from students, DHE has changed the admission norm in cross-stream for PG courses through CUET or a State Eligibility Test, as students should prove their ability to pursue the particular course."
DHE is soon planning to conduct a meeting of state universities for further instructions on conducting the state eligibility test. Based on the test the students will get the admissions.
