Yes, students need to graduate with any stream to be eligible to pursue MLibISc. It is possible to pursue a Master of Library and Information Science degree in many situations without first earning a Bachelor of Library and Information Science degree.

Numerous programmes accept applicants with a variety of academic backgrounds and do not technically require an undergraduate degree in library and information Science as a requirement. It is just that students with BLibISc are given more preference than other candidates.
