CHOICE BASED CREDIT SYSTEM (CBCS)

(Outline of Regulations)
Choice Based Credit System (CBCS)
The University Departments adopted the credit based semester system (CBSS) in 1997-98 and moved
Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) pattern from 2001-2002 onwards.
Choice-Based Credit System is a flexible system of learning. „Credit‟ defines the quantum of
contents/syllabus prescribed for a course and determines the number of hours of instruction required. The
distinguishing features of CBCS are the following:
It permits students to
* learn at their own pace

* choose electives from a wide range of elective courses offered by the University Departments
* undergo additional courses and acquire more than the required number of Credits
* adopt an inter-disciplinary approach in learning
* make best use of the expertise of available faculty
Courses
A programme consists of a number of courses. A „Course‟ is a component (a paper) of a programme.

Every course offered by any University Department is identified by a unique course code. A course may be
designed to involve lectures / tutorials / laboratory work / seminar / project work / practical training / report writing
/ Viva voce, etc or a combination of these, to meet effectively the teaching and learning needs and the credits are
assigned suitably.
27
Semesters
An academic year consists of two semesters.

Odd Semester (I and III Semesters) : July to November
Even Semester (II and IV Semesters) : December to April
A semester normally extends over a period of 15 weeks. Each week has 30 working hours spread over a 5
day week. Credit requirements for M.Phil., P.G., P.G.Diploma, Diploma and Certificate course:-
1. M.Phil. …. 36 Credits
2. P.G. Course (2 years) … 91 Credits
3. M.B.A. Course (2 years) … 94 Credits
4. M.L. Course (2 years) … 102 Credits
5. P.G. Course (3 years ) … 135 Credits
6. P.G. Diploma … 36 Credits
7. Diploma … 18 Credits
8. Certificate … 9 Credits
Details of the courses offered and the CBCS regulations are given in the “CBCS Hand Book” to be issued to
