Foundation Courses allow students to explore various disciplines before zeroing in on their choice of specialization, which is a significant innovation in the Indian context where at the undergraduate-level; students are held to choices they have made during their Higher Secondary Certificate programs. For those students who have clarity about what their area of study might be, the Foundation Courses provide an opportunity to broaden their realms of knowledge. Hence taking Foundation Courses from all the Universes of Knowledge would be essential for each student.

Answer
Depending on the major, the student will be awarded a 4-year B.A.(Hons)/ B.Sc.(Hons)/BBA (Hons)/BBA (Communications Management) (Hons) degree.
- B.A. (Hons) - Economics, Psychology, Literary & Cultural Studies, International Studies, Environmental Studies, Journalism, Public Policy, Sociology.
- B.Sc. (Hons) - Applied Mathematics, Data Science and Economics, Computer Science, Computer Science and Design.
- BBA (Hons) - Finance, Business Analytics, Marketing, Human Resource Management, Entrepreneurship, Operations, Design Management.
- BBA (Communications Management) (Hons)- Advertising & Branding, Digital Marketing & Communications, Film & Television Management.
The 4th year is optional. Students can graduate in 3 years with the following degrees:
- B.A. - Economics, Psychology, Literary & Cultural Studies, International Studies, Environmental Studies, Journalism, Public Policy, Sociology.
- B.A. (Hons) - Economics.
- B.Sc. - Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Data Science and Economics, Computer Science and Design.
- B.Sc. (Hons) - Computer Science.
- BBA - Finance, Business Analytics, Marketing, Human Resource Management, Entrepreneurship, Operations, General Management, Design Management.
- BBA (Communications Management) - Advertising & Branding, Digital Marketing & Communications, Film & Television Management, Communication Studies.
The 4th year of the 4-year program is a seamless extension of the 3-year program where highly specialized courses will be offered with some of them at the Master level along with opportunities for undertaking interdisciplinary major projects and internships. The 4th year gives students an opportunity to go deeper in their major area of study. The first 3-years will be common to both the 3-year and 4-year programs.
It will be the same as that of the 3-year program.
All students of the 4-year program will be awarded a 4-years Honours degree. The 3-year Honours degree is currently available only in the disciplines of Economics and Computer Science. The minor option is not available in the 3-year Honours degree, while a minor option is available for all majors in the 4-year program except in the following interdisciplinary majors: Design Management, Computer Science and Design, and Data Science and Economics.
Yes. Along with DAP (summer at the end of the 1st year) and SIP (summer at the end of the 2nd year), an additional industry internship in the summer at the end of the 3rd year is mandatory.
In the 4-year undergraduate program, the student is expected to continue to take courses in the area of the specialization in the 4th year and a minor has to be compulsorily earned if there is a minor option available for the corresponding major. However, the FLAME Scholar's Program (FSP) is a post-graduate 1-year diploma that provides opportunities for students to pursue courses of interest spanning a wide canvas of disciplines and it is not mandatory to declare a major/minor in this program. Students should have at least a 3-year degree to be eligible for FSP.
For example, consider a student who is an undergraduate student pursuing Finance as a Major and Applied Mathematics as a Minor. In the 3rd year, the student has three options: a) Graduate with a 3-year degree b) Graduate with a 4-year degree where the same specialization (Finance and Applied Mathematics) has to be studied in the 4th year c) Graduate with a 3-year degree and enroll in FSP. In FSP, the student is free to pursue a set of courses as per a study plan that is arrived at in consultation with his Faculty Advisor. The set of courses should align with the student’s interests and future goals and they are not necessarily restricted to Finance and Applied Mathematics. The student may wish to pursue FSP to acquire greater inter and multi-disciplinary knowledge, for instance in allied fields like Economics.
Students have the opportunity to participate in study-abroad programs with our partner institutions only in the first semester of the 4th year.
A minimum of 156 credits have to be earned for the 4-year degree.
A minimum of 36 credits has to be earned in the 4th year.
Yes, a double major is possible subject to academic performance and pre-requisites. Students are encouraged to seek guidance from their faculty advisors.
IMP is a 4th-year mandatory research project in which a team of students with diverse specialisations work together under the guidance of a faculty member to address an issue or solve a problem that is of relevance to society, technology, business or any other aspect of life. This provides an opportunity for students to apply important skills such as critical thinking, communication, problem-solving, research, teamwork etc along with specialised knowledge and contextual understanding learnt over the previous 3 years and apply it in practical contexts by providing actionable solutions.
In the 4th year, a minor has to be compulsorily earned except in the following interdisciplinary majors: Design Management, Computer Science and Design, and Data Science and Economics.
