 PREFACE
The new revised syllabus is prepared as part of the involvement of restructuring Undergaduate Courses taken up
by the Kerala State Higher Education Council in conformity with the National Educational Policy of
University Grants Commission. In this connection the restructuring of Sanskrit syllabus bears an objective for
preserving India’s age old cultural legacy and wisdom in the light of modern global views and trends. The
revised syllabus of Sanskrit renders a flexible pattern of Choice Based Course Credit Semester System and will
be in the nature of continuous assessment. The syllabus and curriculum are mainly student centred. The
syllabus is designed in such a way that proper motivation is given in the pursuit of knowledge and culture. At
the same time, ability to comprehensive skill, language proficiency, creative writing skill and literary taste
constitute its aim. The Open Course is designed in such a way so as to utilize the valuable ethno-wisdom
especially in the field of plant science and herbal wisdom as seen in Sanskrit language which will be an asset in
public health. In another field of Open Course, the syllabus is designed to equip the students to face the
challenges confronting in their life and enhance their social commitment. In short, the restructuring of the
course is meant as the realization of the following aims:

Character is formed, strength of mind is increased and by which the students can stand on one’s own legs and
become an asset to the nation. Hence the thrust area of the new syllabus is as follows:

The syllabus offers four (4) Common Courses, one each in the first four semesters B.A./B.Sc. Programme and
two (2) Common Course, one each in the first two semesters of B.Com. and other Programme under L.R.P. As
for Sanskrit UG Programme, fourteen (14) Core Courses, four (4) Complimentary Courses and two (2) Open
Courses are offered. The Open Courses are intended for the students of other UG Programme.

Here I extend my sincere thanks to the members of the Board of Studies, all the participants of the workshop
and those who have given me support and valuable suggestions to complete the syllabus in time.
