Overview
- A late July notification abolished departmental lists of mandatory generic electives under UGCF 2022 for minor eligibility
- Under the previous framework, students had to complete three GE papers from a department-specified list and could take four additional electives to qualify for a minor
- The change reflects CUET’s role as the primary criterion for postgraduate discipline-specific admissions
- University officials say the shift grants undergraduates greater choice in GE courses without lowering academic standards
- Departments will maintain pools of GEs, with none designated as mandatory for securing minor status
