The Academic Council of the University of Karachi on Thursday approved the four-year BS degree programme for genetics and poultry for the academic session 2022, during a meeting chaired by KU Vice-Chancellor Khalid Iraqui at the university’s Arts Auditorium.
The two new fields were approved by the Board of Faculty of Science earlier.
The meeting decided to grant admissions for 5th semester (3rd year), to the students who have graduated, in the desired fields, since the Higher Eduacation Commission has discontinued the Master’s programmes.
The students eligible to secure admission in the 5th semester would also include those who have completed a two-year associate degree programme at any college.
However, their associate degrees will be replaced by KU’s BS four year degree after successful completion of the course.
KU is likely to announce the admissions for a new academic session at the end of this month.
