 * In the 76th IAPC meeting, it was allowed for the UG (B.Tech./IMT/IMSc.) students to take up Minor Specialization Courses (MSC) in Economics offered by the HSS Department. This has also been approved by both the DAPC and DFC of the HSS Department. The students of the current 3rd year can also take this up.
 
-* In the same meeting, the students of the Earth Sciences department were permitted to take up Minor Specialization Courses of other departments from their sixth semester (1 course per semester in the last 5 semesters). This structure has been also approved by the DAPC and DFC of the department. The proposal has been recommended to the Senate, where the final decision will be made.

 ## Watch Out’s Two Cents :
 
 The problem of clashes can be resolved by trying to set up a system where Minors can be taken up by a student at an earlier stage, without exceeding the credit limit. This will also help students to explore more of the department they minor in. Exams could be conducted over a longer time span which will lower the probability of clashes. Another way would be to declare the timetables before the forms for the minors are filled, enabling students to pick the courses they will be able to manage. 
 
-Providing transparency to the whole process should be the first step before moving forward. A clear set of rules for everything related to Minors and the frequently faced problems by the students will surely prove to be of great assistance. Another interesting proposition would be to try and replicate the model of double majors being followed in IIT Kanpur [https://www.iitk.ac.in/doaa/data/Double-Major.pdf](https://www.iitk.ac.in/doaa/data/Double-Major.pdf){: style="text-decoration:underline;color:blue"}. This would provide the students with greater flexibility in choosing their courses and studying them at length.

-There have been cases when students have dropped their minor, considering it to be of no use when the placement season comes around. In sister IITs, companies which open to Software Clubs/Groups, also open up for the students with a minor in the field [https://gymkhana.iitb.ac.in/~ugacademics/Docs/CourseInfo_Booklet.pdf](https://gymkhana.iitb.ac.in/~ugacademics/Docs/CourseInfo_Booklet.pdf){: style="text-decoration:underline;color:blue"}.

  The Placement and Internship Centre could implement similar eligibility criteria in IIT Roorkee as well, though the dropping of the minor before the beginning of the placement season seems to be the biggest barrier for this.
 
 In addition, shedding some light on the procedure to be followed for adding & enrolling in a new course can be a baby step to fully making the Minor courses serve the purpose they are meant to fulfil.
