For those opting for the programme, vocational subjects will be treated as academic subjects. “Students who have passed related vocational subjects and wish to include them in the best of four will get two per cent advantage. An additional advantage of one per cent is given if a candidate has studied more than one related vocational subject, included in the best of four calculation,” a senior university official said.
