5. THE CBCS SYSTEM:

All programmes (named after the core subject) mentioned earlier shall be run
on the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS).

SEMESTERS: An academic year is divided into two Semesters. In each semester,

courses are offered in 15 teaching weeks and the remaining 5 weeks are to be utilized
for conduct of examinations and evaluation purposes. Each week has 30 working
hours spread over 5 / 6 days a week.
6. CREDITS:
The Term “Credit” refers to the weightage given to a course, usually in
relation to the instructional hours assigned to it. Normally in each of the courses
credits will be assigned on the basis of the number of lectures/tutorials/laboratory
and other forms of learning required to complete the course contents of a 15-week
schedule. One credit is equal to one hour of lecture per week. For laboratory/field
work one credit is equal to one or two hours. The total minimum credits, required
for completing a UG programme is 140. The details of credits for individual
components and individual courses are given in Tables – 1(A) & 1(B).
7. COURSE:
Each course is to be designed variously under lectures/tutorials/laboratory
or field work/seminar / practical training / Assignments / Term paper or Report
writing etc., to meet effective teaching and learning needs.
8. COURSES IN PROGRAMMES:
The UG programme consists of a number of courses. The term ‘course’ is
applied to indicate a logical part of the subject matter of the programme and is
invariably equivalent to the subject matter of a ‘paper’ in the conventional sense. The
following are the various categories of courses suggested for the UG programmes.
Part I –T/OL (Tamil or Hindi or Sanskrit or Arabic, French or special subject
designed in lieu of the above)
Part II – English Language (EL) or special subject designed in lieu of the above
