Choice Based Credit System

What is Choice Based Credit System ?

Giving due credit to the various components of a learning system;

Student-centred approach to learning is emphasized;

Opportunities for students to pursue an integrated programme with courses of their choice;

Academics attribute or assign certain number of credits to each subject depending on their level of learning and placement in a curriculum.

This is not to undermine any subject as ‘easy’ or ‘hard’ to understand but it’s relative level to be imparted at that point of study of the student for a subject, is given due consideration.

Flexibility of choice of subjects by the student in a given duration.

Flexibility allows a student to choose from a pool(s) of subject(s) which he/she wishes to specialize in, besides acquiring exposure to other related and even not-so-related subjects of his/her choice.

What is Choice Based Credit System ?

Why Choice Based Credit System?

The main objective of the CBCS

To provide broad based education;To provide students with greater flexibility in

choice of courses;To provide students multidisciplinary

curriculum;To enable students to choose courses at

basic/advanced level;To enable students to acquire job oriented skills;To enable students to progress at their own

pace andTo enable highly motivated students gain extra

credits.

Main Positive Features of CBCS

Semester system Course (modular) format Diversity in courses (learning

experiences) Flexibility for lateral movement Multiple choices to students Weightage to courses in the form

of Credits CGPA system of evaluation (more

balanced) Scope for Higher Order Learning

Advantages of CBCS (-UGC) Shift in focus from teacher to student-centric

education. Students can take as many credits as they can Can choose inter-disciplinary, intra-

disciplinary, skill oriented courses as per aptitude

Education becomes broad-based and at par with global standards.

One can take credits by combining unique combinations. For ex, Physics with Economics

Flexibility to study at different times and at different institutions to complete one programme.

Credits earned at one institution can be transferred.

WHAT IS A CREDIT?

The term ‘Credit’ describes the quantum of syllabi for various programmes in terms of hours of study.

It indicates differential weightage given according to the content and duration of the course in the curriculum design.

Any given degree programme should have a minimum number of credit requirement, e.g., a Bachelor’s Degree could have approximately 120 – 140 credits.

Institutions should provide students an opportunity to earn extra credits.

Attributing Credits The central point of the credit

system lies in attributing credit to the subjects of learning. In general, credits are assigned based on two core issues. One for the number of hours of instructions (class contact hours) given to the student and two, for other components of the subjects, such as library work, seminars, assignments, etc.

Thus, the term ‘credit’ describes the quantum of syllabi for various programmes in terms of hours of study. It indicates differential weightage given according to the content and duration of the course in the curriculum design. Generally one hour per week has one credit. However, there could be some flexibility because of the practicals, field visits, and tutorials comprising a course.

Credits The credits cannot be greater than

the hours. Credits for certain programmes

like extension activities, Computer Literacy and NCC/NSS/Sports/Extra Curricular activities, etc., are not considered for computation of class/grade at the end of the Degree Course. It is only to recognize students’ involvement in these. The credits in these, in no way, match the hours spent.

Course – UGC’s Description Usually referred to as ‘papers’ is a

component of a programme. All courses need not carry the same

weight. The courses should define learning

objectives and learning outcomes. A course may be designed to comprise

lectures/tutorials/laboratory work/ field work/ outreach activities/ project work/ vocational training/ viva/ seminars/ term papers/ assignments/ presentations/ self-study etc. or a combination of some of these.

Advantages of Course (Modular) System

Key Definitions (UGC)

Core Course: A course, which should compulsorily be studied by a candidate as a core requirement is termed as a Core course.

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.

Key Definitions (UGC)

Discipline Specific Elective (DSE) Course: Elective courses may be offered by the main discipline/subject of study is referred to as Discipline Specific Elective. The University/Institute may also offer discipline related Elective courses of interdisciplinary nature (to be offered by main discipline/subject of study).

Dissertation/Project: An elective course designed to acquire special/advanced knowledge, such as supplement study/support study to a project work, and a candidate studies such a course on his own with an advisory support by a teacher/faculty member is called dissertation/project.

Key Definitions (UGC)

Generic Elective (GE) Course: An elective course chosen generally from an unrelated discipline/subject, with an intention to seek exposure is called a Generic Elective.

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.

Key Definitions (UGC)

Ability Enhancement Courses (AEC): The Ability Enhancement (AE) Courses may be of two kinds: Ability Enhancement Compulsory Courses (AECC) and Skill Enhancement Courses (SEC).

"AECC" courses are the courses based upon the content that leads to Knowledge enhancement; i. Environmental Science and ii. English/MIL Communication. These are mandatory for all disciplines.

SEC courses are value-based and/or skill-based and are aimed at providing hands-on-training, competencies, skills, etc.
