Surat: In an important decision on interdisciplinary flexibility in academics, the Veer Narmad South Gujarat University (VNSGU) approved admission of Class 12 students from science and arts streams to Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) course.
The move is part of the several changes likely to be brought in the academic structure of the university to compete with other private universities. The Diamond City has five private universities in and around Surat.
