The FYUP program was introduced keeping in mind the demands of modern day education. Flexibility
in choice and the interdisciplinary nature of subjects to be taught are the key to a modern successful
education.
Under this programme, students will have to study total 20 major subjects at a deep level for Bachelor
with Honours in each course which are called Discipline Courses-I (DC-I).
In the 4 Year Undergraduate Programme, students will be offered 6 minor subjects of their liking for
additional knowledge and building their competencies outside their main subjects of study. These
subjects are called Discipline Courses-II (DC-II). You will be studying the Discipline II papers from
the 2 year (3rd Semester)
Apart from DC-I and DC-II courses, you will also be studying 11 Foundation Courses (FC), 1 Applied
Language Course, and another 4 skilled based subjects known as Applied Courses (AC), spread across
the semesters.
You will also be studying a paper called Integrated Mind Body & Heart (IMBH). This is a practiceoriented programme of study. The course will foster a value system that relies on actions stemming in
harmony with an inner value system. This will only be taught in the first Year.
The Foundation Courses and the Application Courses are Compulsory in nature and the course on
IMBH is a Non-Credit Course.
It is important to note that you may also apply for your masters programme based on your choice of the
Discipline II (DC-II) subject.
The flexible nature of the programme allows the student to exit after the 2nd year with a Diploma, 3rd
year with a Bachelor’s degree and finally a Bachelor’s with Honours after 4 years.
