Academic Information


The academic year consists of two semesters. At the undergraduate level, the curriculum is spread over three years. The duration of a semester is approximately 16-18 weeks of six working days per week.

CHOICE BASED CREDIT SYSTEM
In the academic year 2009-10, the college introduced the Choice-Based Credit System (CBCS).   Hence forth all first year degree students are expected to earn a minimum of 140 Credits for the completion of the Undergraduate degree course.  Besides these credits they should also put in twenty five hours of social service under PLANET Programme.  Students are also encouraged to get extra credits by involving themselves in NSS/NGC/SPORTS/GAMES/AICUF/Women Cell etc.

The second year students, besides undergoing the regular curriculum, also choose one General Elective from across the streams.  These courses are add-on, career-oriented courses which will make them more employable at the end of their Degree studies.  The third year students also pick up two Subject Electives – one knowledge-based & another skill-based in their core subjects.  In order to make the students research-oriented, all the final year students are to undertake a Project Work and submit their Dissertation as well as take a Viva Voce.  All these components of the Degree Curriculum under the CBCS have to be completed before one gets his/her under graduate degree.

Evalution


The college has adopted the system of valuation based both on Continuous Internal Assessment (C.I.A.) and Semester- End Examination (S.E.E).  The C.I.A and S.E.E. will have the weightage of 40% and 60% respectively.  C.I.A. will be through written test, assignments, laboratory work, viva and project work........etc.  The student's regularity, as indicated by attendance, will also be taken into account for C.I.A. The S.E.E. will be in the form of a comprehensive written examination for each course at the end of the semester.  The question papers for these examinations will be set by experts chosen from outside the college and answer scripts will be valued by external examiners.
