Seems that students from Presidency College can start shifting streams tad soon. Presidency University is all set to offer its graduate students a switch over from arts to science or vice versa for their masters degree.
The college authorities are sure that they wish to implement the policy from this very session. The cause to get such a novel idea implemented is because the authorities believe that if a student is good in more than one subject, he/she should have the say in honing his/her skill and use the flexibility the college wishes to offer.
Such mobility in streams have already been exercised in universities in the west before. The protocol goes like, the students will have to secure a passing grade in the post-graduation admission test conducted by the university, and if they secure a passing grade in the admission test, they will be considered fit to study the subject in post-graduation.
However, in Calcutta University, a student is allowed to shift between subjects in the same stream given there is some similarity in content. However, complete switch in the stream has never really been allowed
