What is CBCS?What is CBCS?

� Semesterized Choice-Based Credit System (CBCS) followingComprehensive Continuous Assessment and GradingPattern (CCAGP)

� CBCS is the mother of student centric educational reforms.A student is provided with an academically rich, highlyflexible learning system blended with abundant provisionfor skill practice and activity orientation that he/she couldlearn in depth without sacrificing his/her creativity.

� CBCS meets the demand for socially relevant, economicallyproductive, globally competitive, culturally sustaining andindividually satisfying educational requirements that caterto the needs of the present times


Cafeteria Approach

� Students can take courses of their choice

� Learn at their own pace.

� Undergo additional courses & acquire more than the required credits.

� Adopt an interdisciplinary approach to learning


4 Key Features

� Flexibility: in terms of choice of courses

� Mobility: within & outside the institutions of higher learning

� Value addition: through skill-based/add-on courses

� Ensuring broad-based learning: through widening the canvass of knowledge across disciplines


Defining courses (As per UGC scheme)

� Core Courses� Courses to be compulsorily studied by a student as a core

requirement for completion of a programme in a saiddiscipline.

� Elective Courses� Discipline centric - related to Discipline/Subject.� Open elective (Generic) - These electives should have a general

applicability and should cut across other subjects.


Contd...

� Foundation Courses

� Compulsory Foundation� based on the content that leads to knowledge enhancement.

These are mandatory for all discipline (taken together & notindividually)

� Elective Foundation� Value-added courses aimed at man making education.

� CUK proposes implementation of ‘credit transfer’ policy in a phased manner as under:

� Phase I State Level� Phase II Regional Level� Phase III National Level� Phase IV International Level


Integrated programmes

� For integrated programmes to be launched from this academic session in CUK, the CBCS pattern shall be formulated separately.


CCES & CIA� Since CBCS is based on CCE Scheme of assessment &

evaluation, therefore, the weightage for CIA may be prescribed as under;

Total marks for CIA =40Breakup of these 40 marks may be kept as under;

1. Class Test = 202. Assignment = 053. Presentation = 104. Attendance = 05

Implications for effective implementation

Successful implementation of CBCS in CUK shall largelydepend on:

ØCreation of additional infrastructural facilities where everrequired.ØEngagement of additional faculty as Guest Faculty/Faculty on

Contract basis where ever applicable.ØSupplementing learning resources with additional texts/

references and functional computer labs with internet facility.ØRescheduling the class-work by including Holidays & Sundays

as & where it is necessary.ØAugmenting Students Support Service.


Contd...Ø Student Regularity and punctualityØ Academic schedules to be notified by teachers in

advanceØ Teacher to strictly adhere to the academic schedulesØ Teacher to adhere to objective evaluationØ Transparency, objectivity and quality key to sustainable

CBCSØ Syllabus to be looked upon as bare minimum

requirement, sufficient emphasis on going beyond the syllabus
