The Central University of Rajasthan has decided to initiate two integrated M.Sc. courses for students passing out of senior secondary examinations this year.

Speaking to presspersons here, Vice-Chancellor M. M. Salukhe said it was a first of its kind concept in the State which would prove beneficial for students and offer them better job opportunities.

“We are starting an Integrated M.Sc (Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Computer Science, Environmental Science, Microbiology and Statistics) and an Integrated M.Sc. B.Ed. (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Economics). The first programme would be of duration of five years and the second of six years,” he told presspersons here today.

Students who have completed class 12 are eligible to take admission in the courses, he said.

“The special feature of the programmes is that in the first two years, students would be taught four subjects and in the third year they would pursue their studies in the subject in which they aspire to do the PG.

Also, from the second year itself, students would be taught subjects which would help them pursue a teaching career in various schools, colleges and universities,” he said, adding, that those planning to do a B.Ed would be given practical training in the sixth year of the programme.

He said an online entrance exam would be held on May 18.

The convocation ceremony of the university, scheduled for July 9, would have President Pranab Mukherjee as chief guest.
