Item: EC:22:2016:70 To ratify the change in nomenclature of M.Sc. Molecular Genetics degree. NOTE:
The students of M.Sc. Molecular Genetics 2014-15 batch have submitted that they are facing problem in getting admission eligibility (equivalence) in M.Phil./Ph.D. courses offered by the other Universities due to lesser recognition of degree titles “Molecular Genetics”. They have requested that the nomenclature of this degree be changed M.Sc. in Molecular Genetics to M.SC. in Life Sciences (Molecular Genetics).
The Coordinator of the Centre has recommended that as in other courses the nomenclature of this course may also be changed as requested by the students. This will make the degree uniform and the students will not face problem while taking admission in other Universities.
The Academic Council will consider the request of the students in its 13th meeting vide Item No.AC:13:2016:10.
The Executive Council may like to ratify the recommendations of the Academic Council on the request of the students of M.Sc. Molecular Genetics to change the nomenclature of their course to M.Sc. Life Sciences (Molecular Genetics).
