Students who were admitted to and are registered in a given specialisation may apply for a different specialisation by filling the appropriate form provided they fulfil the requirements of the programme sought. In certain cases this may require registration of additional modules. Change of specialisation is contingent upon availability of seats subject to approval from the respective Department Heads and the Academic Adviser. In addition, sponsored students should obtain approvals from the concerned Sponsor and DIRECT students from their parent/guardian. 

A student is allowed to change his/her specialisation only once during the entire period of study.

If a Diploma graduate desires to continue the Bachelors programme with a different specialisation than the one in which the Diploma was awarded, he/she is allowed to do so. However, he/she will be required to study additional modules from the Diploma programme of the specialisation sought but is not entitled to receive an additional Diploma in the new specialisation. The student is eligible to receive a higher award in the changed specialisation, for example, Advanced Diploma or Bachelors, by successfully fulfilling the requirements for the respective awards.

Requests for change of specialisation have to be submitted between the 12th and 15th weeks of Fall and Spring Semesters.
