With a view to give opportunity to the youths of the islands in those area/discipline

which is otherwise not available in these islands the idea of starting Multi-

Disciplinary Professional College was conceived under RUSA. The proposed

professional college was planned with a concept of different school/department which

could later be developed as a full fledged university. The four school/department

planned under RUSA are School of Architecture, School of Fine Arts, Department of

Science and School of Management. It was decided that initially three schools shall be

started offering B.Arch (UG), BA (Visual Arts) (UG) and MBA (PG). As regards

of courses of professional college with Punjab University due to territorial

jurisdiction. We have now approached Pondicherry University, they have agreed to

come for inspection in the end of December, 2016/January, 2017. Out of three

proposed programmes Pondicherry University do not offer B.Arch programme hence
