CHOICE BASED CREDIT SYSTEM

New Semester Wise Course Structures of B.A./ B.Sc./ B. Com under the CHOICE

BASED CREDIT SYSTEM (CBCS) has been introduced from the session (2017-

2018) as per the guidelines of the University of Burdwan.

The main feature of the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) is to make

undergraduate courses/studies student centric rather than system centric or teacher

centric. For achieving these objectives, the CBCS strives to create a holistic

syllabus. Thus in addition to dedicated focus on a discipline through core papers in

general curriculum, elective papers have been added that will give students the

freedom to choose the allied/applied/broad areas of their discipline and also the

areas of other disciplines of their interest. Further in keeping with the vision of the

Government, special emphasis has been given to ability enhancement and skill

development of students through elective courses under these domains which every

student is required to study. However, in keeping with the spirit of CBCS also, the

students will have complete freedom to choose these courses from a pool suggested

by the University. The CBCS provides an opportunity for the students to choose

courses from the prescribed courses comprising Core, Elective and Skill Based

Courses.

Semester System: The program (Degree Course) of three years duration is divided

into six terms of approx. 6-month duration called Semester. Every semester will

have number of courses (subjects/papers) that a learner will have to offer. Each

course subject will be assigned certain number of credits. Learner will be assessed

continuously during the Semester and evaluated at the end of the Semester. The

results will be declared at the end of every Semester. Credits will be earned by the

learner on successful completion of the course.

Outlines of Choice Based Credit System:

Under the CBCS there are broadly two course structures-

i) Honours Course and

ii) Regular/ General Course. The main components of the courses are as follows:

10

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

requirement is termed as a core course.

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: A course, which may be offered by

the main discipline/ subject of study, is referred to as Discipline Specific Elective.

2.2 Generic Elective (GE) Course: An elective course, chosen generally from an

unrelated discipline/ subject of study with an intention to seek an exposure, is called

a Generic Course.

N.B.- 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.

2.3 Dissertation/ Project: An elective course, designed to acquire special/ advanced

knowledge, is termed as dissertation/ project. This is considered as a special course

involving application of knowledge in solving/ analyzing / exploring a real life

situation/ difficult problem. A dissertation/ project work will be of 6 credits. A

dissertation/ project work may be given in lieu of a Discipline Specific Elective.

3. Ability Enhancement Courses (AEC): The Ability Enhancement (AE) Courses

may be of two kinds- Ability Enhancement Compulsory Courses (AECC) and Skill

Enhancement Courses (SEC).

3.1 AECC: These are the courses based on the contents that lead to knowledge

enhancement and consist of Environmental Studies & English/ MIL

Communication. These are mandatory for all disciplines.

3.2 SEC: SEC are value- based and/ or skill- based and are aimed at providing hand-

on-training, competency, skill etc. It will be minimum 2 for Honours Courses and 4

for General Courses. These may be chosen from a pool of courses designed to provide

value- based and/ or skill- based knowledge would contain both theory and lab. /

hands-on-training/ field work. The main purpose of these courses is to

11

provide the students life-skill in hands-on-mode so as to increase their

employability.
