Some courses need students to have a science background as a prerequisite while most others are inter-disciplinary. Each course may be pursued at the beginner's level and depending on students' interest and ability to grasp the concepts, they can progress to higher levels. Here are a few courses students can consider.

All universities must have grades, semesters, orders UGC

In a move that will benefit lakhs of students and impact over 400 universities across the country, the University Grants Commission has mandated the introduction of grading system from 2015-16. It has directed universities to standardize their examinations and follow a semester pattern in curriculum.

Currently, many universities follow the numerical marking system. The new move will provide wider options for students to learn and ensure their seamless mobility across institutions. The move comes following a meeting last week between state education ministers and HRD minister Smriti Irani.
