We are at the threshold of another new academic year 2019–20. The anticipation and
excitement felt by the fresh students finds an echo in me and my esteemed stakeholders of
Pragjyotish College. As we gear up for the year ahead, I would like to take this opportunity
to heartily welcome all the students to this premier institution. I am grateful to the founders
of this institution more particularly the Hon’ble Justice Holiram Deka, Pandit Tirthanath
Sarma and many others who left no stone unturned to set up the college. In its glorious
existence of more than six decades, the college has undergone remarkable changes and
flourished.
The emblem of our college contains our motto: “ते जस्विनावधीतमस्तु ” (May our study make
us illumined). It is undoubtedly true that since its foundation on 1st September 1954, the
college has strived to set new benchmarks of excellence in academia and public service.
Now, our vision is to make the institution a centre of excellence that can serve the society
and the nation in a better way by keeping pace with the changing needs of time. Today,
Pragjyotish College is one of the most distinguished undergraduate and post-graduate
institutions in the state. Education at Pragjyotish College is not about marks and grades only
– it is the holistic growth that we the stakeholders are aiming at. We are indeed proud of our
dedicated faculty and supportive non-teaching staff. Teaching, for us here at the college, is a
lifetime commitment, a passion, a vocation rather than a job. Our faculties are continually
engaged themselves to keep abreast of the latest developments in their own fields. Striving
for excellence is our way of life. Commitment, dedication, inspiration, management, etc. are
the factors which brought the college to the forefront of higher education in the state. So let
us hope that Pragjyotish College, our second home with all its facilities available, will
muster enough courage to cope up with the new challenges of time to make it a centre of
excellence not only in the state but also at the national level.
With these few words, I once again warmly welcome you to this august institution
and pray to the Almighty for your great success and excellence.
May our study make us illumined.
Dr. Manoj Kumar Mahanta
Principal, Pragjyotish College,
Santipur, Guwahati-09

Starting from the 2019-20 academic session, the Gauhati University has decided to implement
CBCS in all the undergraduate programmes. The salient features of this system are detailed
below:
Note:
Wherever the University requires that an applicant for a particular MA/MSc/Technical/Professional
course should have studied a specific discipline at the undergraduate level, then obtaining 24 credits in the
concerned discipline at the undergraduate level may be deemed sufficient to satisfy such a requirement for
admission to the MA/MSc/Technical/Professional course
3.1 The medium of instruction and examination will be English and/or Assamese, except in
language courses.
4.1 Core Course: A Core course is a course that has to be compulsorily studied.
4.2 Elective Course: An Elective course is to be chosen by the student from a pool of such
courses on offer and will essentially be of three types: DSE, GE & SEC
4.3 Discipline Specific Elective Course (DSE): An Elective Course which is offered by the
main discipline.
4.4 Generic Elective Course (GE): A Generic Elective Course is offered by an unrelated
discipline and has the objective of broadening the academic experience of a student. A Core
Course offered in a discipline may be allowed as an Elective to a student from another
discipline. This course will be treated under the category of Generic Elective Courses. Generic
Elective Courses are not available to students in a BSc Regular (General) program while BA
& BCom Regular (General) programme will require taking up two such courses only in the
5th and 6th Semester.
4.5 Dissertation/Project: All students enrolled in an undergraduate degree programme
(Honours and non-Honours) will have the option of choosing to undertake Project/Dissertation
work for 6 credits in lieu of a 6 credit Discipline Specific Elective (DSE) course in the sixth
semester only.
4.6 Skill Enhancement Courses: Skill Enhancement Courses will be value based or skill
based and there will be a pool of courses on offer. A student enrolled in an undergraduate
degree programme with Honours will have to take up a minimum of two SEC courses of 4
credits each as part of the programme requirement in 3rd and 4th Semester respectively. For
students enrolled in non-Honours undergraduate degree programmes the credit requirement
from Skill Enhancement Courses will be 16 credits and will be offered from the 3rd Semester
to 6th Semester (one paper in each Semester).
4.7 Ability Enhancement Courses: Ability Enhancement Courses which are to be taken up
by students in an undergraduate degree programme will be of two types:
a) Communicative English/Communicative MIL b) EVN (Environmental Science)
These 4 credit courses are mandatory for every student enrolled in an undergraduate degree
programme. Students will have to select either Communicative English or Communicative
MIL (such as Assamese, Bengali, Hindi, Bodo) in the First Semester itself. Therefore, in the
Second Semester they will have to take EVN as their AECC. B Sc Students will have to take
Communicative English only.
The following table indicates the requirements for successful completion of undergraduate degree in
Gauhati University from First to Sixth Semester–
7.1 To be awarded credit in Core Courses, Elective Courses, Discipline Specific Elective (DSE)
Course, Generic Elective (GE) Course and Ability Enhancement Courses (AEC) [comprising
Ability Enhancement Compulsory Courses (AECC) & Skill Enhancement Courses (SEC)],
students must have at least 75% class attendance. The attendance of all courses including the Skill
Enhancement Courses shall be counted and accounted for in full while determining if the student
has met the minimum attendance norms of Gauhati University.
7.2 In case a student fails to have at least 75% class attendance, he/she will not be allowed to sit for
the end semester examination and hence have to repeat the concerned semester after the successful
completion of the subsequent semesters.

second and subsequent semesters. And only after the successful completion of the sixth semester, he/she can
repeat the first semester to earn the deficit credits.)
