Abstract: In today's scenario most of the programs are interdisciplinary in nature. A very few ‘curriculum models' are in place in the bibliography record to study the impact and implementation style. One such curriculum model SRU-2011 was implemented in the center identified and the output was reviewed. The usual problems related to Inter - Disciplinary Programs are unrelated subjects, growth of new fields of study, selection of different subjects, different impacting methods, student's impact and attitude issues. Of the above mentioned issues we found that a correlation exists between attitude related issues and student placement results. The outcome of these results and other related issues have been discussed.
