SPPU Plans New School for Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Studies
Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) plans to establish a dedicated School of Undergraduate Studies starting next academic year. The school aims to offer interdisciplinary, employment-oriented undergraduate programs by combining departments such as physics, biology, chemistry, mathematics, statistics, and biotechnology. A centralized admission system is also being considered. This initiative builds on the positive response to SPPU's existing blended BSc program, which allows students to study subjects not covered in Class 12, and seeks to expand integrated undergraduate education across sciences, humanities, and social sciences.
