Presently in case of Higher Education, there are specific disciplines. However, in the near future, on the sanction of National Education Policy and its implementation there would be a paradigm shift from discipline specific to trans-disciplinary studies. Such an education system throws open lots of opportunities for the younger generation from specific stream based education system to a choice based graduation system. Rather than selecting one stream for graduation, this system proposes trans-disciplinary options based on their strengths and weaknesses. The major focus of the entire policy is on the students' and naturally the students play a pivotal role in the success of this dream project. Every coin has two sides, though many good things are proposed in the Plan document, the consideration of students' mindset for the transition holds highest weightage. This paper makes an attempt to study the physical, psychological, economicfactors influencing the level of preparedness of the students that would affect this transition. The study consists of primary and secondary data. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Null hypotheses were tested usingMann-Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis test. This study will help understand the different factors affecting student preparedness for accepting the shift from discipline specific to trans-disciplinary studies
