Initially, this new centre will offer 3-year/ 4-year Undergraduate programmes in Botany, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics and Zoology. The University also plans to offer more programmes in Basic Sciences in the coming years, including-
Ø Integrated Postgraduate programmes in Botany, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, and Zoology
Ø Ph.D. Programmes in all sciences and social sciences with an emphasis on the topics of multidisciplinary research
Ø Integrated PhD (PG + PhD) programmes in all sciences and social sciences with an emphasis on the topics of multidisciplinary research
The Undergraduate/ Integrated Postgraduate programmes will start with an intake capacity of 50 students across all the disciplines (Botany, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, and Zoology) during the academic year 2025-26.
The undergraduate programme seeks to equip students with the capacities in fields across arts, humanities, languages, natural sciences, and social sciences; an ethic of social engagement besides soft skills such as complex problem solving, critical thinking, creative thinking, and communication skills, along with rigorous specialization in a chosen disciplinary or interdisciplinary major and minor(s).
Students can opt for a change of major within the broad discipline (Natural and Physical Sciences, Mathematical, Statistics, and Computational Sciences, Library, Information and Media Sciences, Commerce and Management, and Humanities and Social Sciences) at the end of the first year.
