The local State University of Performing and Visual Arts (SUPVA), which has been witnessing turmoil over the lack of requisite facilities and delay in completion of courses and provision of degrees, seems set for a makeover.

“Apart from integrating different courses, we are in the process of establishing university teaching departments in place of separate institutes. We are also redesigning the existing study programmes and post-graduate study programmes in certain disciplines,” maintained SUPVA Vice-Chancellor VS Kundu.

Under the new scheme of things, all study programmes will begin on a common platform with an integrated first-year foundation course, the VC said, adding that all courses would now have a four-year duration. A new discipline of acting had also been introduced.

The students will pursue the study programmes chosen by them from the second year and acquire specialistion in the subject of their choice in the third and fourth years.

Hence, the common campus for the institutes of fine arts, architecture, design and film and television, has now assumed the shape of an integrated university campus.

From the upcoming academic session, a three-tier test entrance examination was also being introduced. The initial test would be online.
