Bengaluru: In a bizare move, the collegiate education department has directed all principals in the state to obtain an undertaking from students that if any course or a combination of core subjects is not chosen by 15 students, then such combinations or courses will be closed, ‘forcing’ students to study subjects other than their original choice.

This decision of the government would affect thousands of students and has also caught academic circles off guard, as it would be implemented from the ensuing academic year 2019-20 in all the undergraduate colleges.

As per the circular addressed to joint directors of collegiate education and principals of various colleges, the government has directed the authorities to communicate the same to students and obtain a mandatory undertaking from them.

“If the courses or combination of core subjects do not get admission of more than 15 students, colleges shall not admit any students or continue with such courses or combination. Principals must ensure this and communicate the same to the students at the time of admission and obtain an undertaking,” the circular stated.
