They can even take a single or double main to realize a deeper data of a given self-discipline. Since multidisciplinary programs, potential enhancement programs, ability enhancement programs, value-added programs, and internships are embedded within the FYUP, it is going to improve the alternatives for college students to take up employment or go for increased research, he added.
