In higher education, substantial course and curriculum revisions, adjusted eligibility requirements, and the introduction of industry-focused courses are allowing students to choose from a variety of subjects while also helping them develop professional skills and opening up new career opportunities.

One significant development that took place this year was the introduction of PG programs in microbiology, genetics, forensic science, environmental science, biochemistry, and nutrition & dietetics that do not need chemistry as a prerequisite for undergraduate life sciences students. This year, there is no longer a requirement that life sciences students take chemistry at the UG level in order to be admitted to these PG programs.

Students who major in microbiology, botany, zoology, or any other combination of the life sciences are welcome to apply for admission to these courses. They must, however, pass the appropriate entry exam. The telangana State Common Post Graduate Entrance Tests (CPGET) 2023 will now include these improvements.

The decision was made in light of the fact that State universities and colleges have begun using a bucket system for undergraduate education, which allows students to select their preferred topics from a variety of options. Previously, entry to the MSc Nutrition & Dietetics curriculum required chemistry at the UG level. Several applicants were turned down for admission to the aforementioned PG programs last year because the bucket system did not include chemistry.

"Since the bucket system is in place, it has been decided to eliminate the requirement that life sciences undergraduate applicants take chemistry in order to be admitted to courses like genetics, microbiology, and MSc nutrition & dietetics. To pursue an MSc in Chemistry, you must have taken chemistry in undergrad, an osmania university (OU) administrator said.
