PERCEPTION
The New Syllabus has been recommended in harmony with the National Policy on
Education, the parameters provided by Kerala State Higher Education Council,
Hrudyakumari Commission Report and Academic Council of Mahatma Gandhi University.
The Syllabus aims at introducing inventive and socially pertinent fundamentals of
historical knowledge to the students and revealing them to critical thinking and learning. It
also intends to inspire a spirit of criticism, basics of research and liberated thinking among
the students.
The main problems that come across were how to make the study of history more
attractive and meaningful. In this mission the views of expert academics, teachers as and
young scholars have been solicited and included in the fresh syllabus. The new syllabus
has a societal character. History offers us the quintessence of human experience. History is
the gauge to record the advancement of mankind. It is a mode of transmission, dialogue,
interaction and inheritance of the past.
The main objective is to provide a global outlook and a secular orientation to the
students in the changing world. Also desired to enhance practical knowledge, widen
critical thinking and sharpen the intellect of the students. The new syllabus also laid
emphasis on wider possibilities of exposing them to job opportunities. Above all, the
course shall offer unlimited opportunities to students in future for instance in higher
studies, research, in the preparation of all competitive and related examinations.
The proposed B.A shall consist of 30 courses to be completed in 6 semesters. The
undergraduate programme consists of 16 Core Courses and 10 Common Courses and 4
Complementary Courses.
The new syllabus tagged on here is the result of a workshop conducted on..29th

Credit Point (CP) of a paper is calculated using the formula:-
CP = C × GP, where C is the Credit and GP is the Grade point
Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) of a Semester is calculated using the
formula:-

TC is the Total Credit of that semester��, ∑ Ci�� , where n is the number of papers in that
semester

programme
Grade Point Average (GPA) of a Course (Common Course I, Common Course II,
Complementary Course I, Complementary Course II, Vocational course, Core Course) is
