Mita MukherjeeRajabazar: There will be no change in admission regulations under the new choice- based credit system, Calcutta University has announced. The choice-based credit system that will take effect in July conceptually promises to allow someone who has studied philosophy and not physics at the Class XII level to take up physics as an elective subject in college. Several principals Metro spoke to said it won't be possible to maintain the promised flexibility with the same admission regulations that were applicable to the old 1+1+1 system. Dipak Kar, pro vice-chancellor (academic), said that considering the large number of affiliated colleges and students involved in the university's undergraduate education system, it was difficult to extend complete flexibility to the choice-based credit system at this stage. The university will gradually offer the same flexibility across disciplines in the next few years," Kar said.
