3.3 Choice Based Credit System (CBCS):

The CBCS provides an opportunity for the students to choose courses from the prescribed courses
comprising core, elective/minor or skill based courses. The courses can be evaluated following the
grading system, which is considered to be better than the conventional marks system. Therefore, it is
necessary to introduce uniform grading system in the entire higher education in India. This will
benefit the students to move across institutions within India to begin with and across countries. The
uniform grading system will also enable potential employers in assessing the performance of the
candidates. In order to bring uniformity in evaluation system and computation of the Cumulative
Grade Point Average (CGPA) based on student‘s performance in examinations, the UGC has
formulated the guidelines to be followed.

4
The curriculum offers a total of 65 courses out of which the student has to complete 28 credit
courses and the total number of credits required for the award of BBA degree is 156 credits. The
student also has to complete in the first year a compulsory non-credit course. The courses are
divided into 4 categories, i.e. Core courses, Discipline Specific Electives courses, Ability
enhancement courses and Skills enhancement courses.

1. Core Course: A course, which should compulsorily be studied by a candidate as a core


requirement is termed as a Core course. The curriculum offers a total of 16 core courses comprises
of 6 credits each.

2. Elective Course: Generally, a course which can be chosen from a pool of courses and which may
be very specific or specialized or advanced or supportive to the discipline/ subject of study or which
provides an extended scope or which enables an exposure to some other discipline/subject/domain
or nurtures the candidate‘s proficiency/skill is called an Elective Course.

2.1 Discipline Specific Elective (DSE) Course Elective courses may be offered by the main
discipline/subject of study is referred to as Discipline Specific Elective (to be offered by main
discipline/subject of study). The curriculum offers 4 disciplines and under each discipline 8
discipline specific electives courses are offered in the final year. Out of these 8 discipline specific
courses 7 are theory based and one in the 6th semester is dissertation (2.2 section of ordinance). A
total of 32 discipline electives are offered. Each Discipline Elective is of 6 credits and the student
can choose only one of the four disciplines in the final year.

2.2 Dissertation/Project Work: An elective course of 6 credits designed to acquire


special/advanced knowledge, such as supplement study/support study to a project work, and
candidate studies such a course on his own with an advisory support by a teacher/faculty member is
called dissertation/project work. A Project/Dissertation work may be given in lieu of a discipline
specific elective paper. The student will pursue Summer Training after 2nd year which will be
evaluated in third semester End Semester Exams and will be of 6 credits.

2.3 Generic Elective Course (GEC): An elective course chosen generally from an unrelated
discipline/subject, with an intention to seek exposure to other subjects/disciplines is called a Generic
Elective Course. The curriculum offers a total of 8 Generic Elective courses of 6 credits each.

5
P.S.: A core course offered in a discipline/subject may be treated as an elective by other
discipline/subject and vice versa and such electives may also be referred to as Generic Elective.

3. Ability Enhancement Courses: The Ability Enhancement (AE) Courses may be of two kinds: AE
Compulsory Course (AECC) and Skill Enhancement Courses (SEC). AECC courses (two) are the
courses based upon the content that leads to knowledge enhancement. They [(i) Environmental
Science, (ii) English/MIL Communication] are mandatory for all disciplines. SEC courses (minimum
two) are value-based and/or skill-based and are aimed at providing hands-on-training, competencies,
skills, etc. The curriculum offers a total of 6 Skill Enhancement Courses comprises of 3 credits each.

All core courses have a practical component, along with theory. Ability Enhancement courses are
theory based and Skills Enhancement courses have theory with the practical component if required.

the-job practical training in a manufacturing, service or financial organization. The training will be for
6 to 8 weeks. The training will be as per the schedule mentioned in the curriculum. At the end of the

17
5.1 CALCULATION CRITERIA:-
To implement the following grading system, the colleges/campuses shall use the following UGC
recommended 10 point grading system:

Marks (%) Letter Grades Grade Points (G)


85-100 A++ (Outstanding) 10
75 to < 85 A+ (Excellent) 9
70 to <75 A (Very Good) 8
65 to <70 B+ (Good) 7
60 to <65 B (Above Average) 6
50 to <60 C (Average) 5
40 to <50 D (Pass) 4
0 to <40 F (Fail) 0
AB (Absent) 0
5.2 COMPUTATION OF SGPA AND CGPA
(Si)= £ (Ci x Gi)/ £ Ci, where Ci is the number of credits of the ith course and Gi is the grade point
scored by the student in the ith course.
CGPA=£(Ci x Si) / £ Ci where Si is the SGPA of the ith semester and Ci is the total number of
credits in that semester.
The SGPA and CGPA shall be rounded off to 2 decimal points and reported in the transcripts.
6. POWER TO MODIFY
In the event of any emergent situation, if any deviation is considered necessary, the Vice Chancellor is

human beings

2. To facilitate the development of a Holistic perspective among students towards life and

found as truth or reality is stated as a proposal and the students are facilitated to verify it in
their own right, based on their Natural Acceptance and subsequent Experiential Validation.
4. This process of self-exploration takes the form of a dialogue between the teacher and the
students to begin with, and then to continue within the student leading to continuous self-
evolution.
5. This self-exploration also enables them to critically evaluate their pre-conditionings and present
beliefs.

After every two lectures of one hour each, there is a 2 hour practice session.
