 CHOICE BASED CREDIT SYSTEM (CBCS)

1. CHOICE BASED CREDIT SYSTEM (CBCS)

The Choice Based Credit System is a flexible system of learning. The CBCS was introduced
for various programmes offered by the University from 2008-09 onwards. The distinguishing student
friendly features of CBCS allow students to:

 Learn at their own pace

 Choose electives from a wide range of elective courses offered by the University
departments with consultation of department faculty members.
 Adopt inter-disciplinary approach by choosing supportive papers in learning and
making best use of the expertise of available faculty.

DEPARTMENTS AND PROGRAMMES

There are 27 departments offering programmes at various levels under the CBCS. A
programme consists of number of courses. A ‘Course’ is a component (a paper) of a
programme. Every course offered by the University departments is identified by a unique
course code. A course may be designed to involve lectures / tutorials / laboratory work/
seminar / project work / practical training / assignments / industrial training / viva voce, etc.
or a combination of these, to meet effectively the teaching and learning needs and the credits
may be assigned suitably.

SEMESTERS

An academic year consists of two semesters namely, Odd Semester (I and III
Semesters): July to November; and Even Semester (II and IV Semesters): December to April.
A semester normally extends over a period of 15 weeks. Each week has 30 hours instruction
spread over a 5 day week. The duration of each semester shall be 90 working days for all PG
programmes and 120 working days for B.Voc., programmes inclusive of examinations.

CREDITS

Credit defines the quantum of contents/syllabus prescribed for a course and

determines the number of hours of instruction required per week. Thus, normally in each of
the course, credits will be assigned on the basis of the number of lectures/tutorial/ laboratory
work and other forms of learning required to complete the course contents in a 15 week
schedule:

1 Credit=Minimum1hour lecture per week (1Credit course=Minimum 15 hours of lectures

per semester)

3 Credits = Minimum 3 hours lecture per week (3 Credit course = Minimum 45 hours of
lectures per semester)

The total minimum credits required for awarding a two year PG degree is 94, and for B.Voc.,
it is 180.

19
PROJECT

Each student shall be required to take up an Individual Student Project Work at PG

level and submit it at the end of the final semester. Students shall be allotted to all the faculty
members for project guidance in a departmental committee meeting with the concurrence of
all the members. A copy of the Project Report shall be submitted to the Department on or
before the last date fixed by the Department/University. The project shall be evaluated by the
guide and an external examiner nominated by the University and viva-voce examination will
be conducted to award the marks as per norms.

Each department should mandatorily conduct one value added course in a year with
minimum duration of 30 hours to their own or other department students. Each department
may offer a certificate/diploma/PG diploma programme as add on course to their own
department students with recent trends/advanced technology apart from the regular degree
programme as per UGC guidelines and approved by concerned board of studies. The value
added /add on course will be conducted during 4:45 PM to 5:45 PM or on Saturdays. The
course fee is fixed as Rs.500/- (Rupees Five Hundred only) for each value added/add on
course. The Controller of Examinations, Periyar University may issue the value added/add on
course certificate to the students after successful completion of the course.

is mandatory for all students with credit from the academic year 2022 – 2023 onwards.

SWAYAM is a programme initiated by Government of India and designed to achieve

the three cardinal principles of Education Policy namely access, equity and quality. The
objective of this effort is to take the best teaching learning resources to all, including the most
disadvantaged. SWAYAM seeks to bridge the digital divide for students who have hitherto
remained untouched by the digital revolution and have not been able to join the mainstream
of the knowledge economy. The courses hosted on SWAYAM are in 4 quadrants – (1) video
lecture, (2) specially prepared reading material that can be downloaded/printed (3) self-
assessment tests through tests and quizzes and (4) an online discussion forum for clearing the

20
doubts. Steps have been taken to enrich the learning experience by using audio-video and
multi-media and state of the art pedagogy / technology. In order to ensure best quality content
are produced and delivered, Nine National Coordinators have been appointed: They
are AICTE for self-paced and international courses, NPTEL for engineering, UGC for non-
technical post-graduation education, CEC for under-graduate
education, NCERT and NIOS for school education, IGNOU for out of the school
students, IIMB for management studies and NITTTR for Teacher Training programme.
Courses delivered through SWAYAM are available free of cost to the learners, however,

completion of the course, with a little fee. At the end of each course, there will be an
assessment of the student through proctored examination and the marks/grades secured in this

LEARNING OUTCOMES-BASED EDUCATION (OBE) CURRICULUM

The learning outcomes-based curriculum framework for education is a framework
based on the expected learning outcomes and academic standards that are expected to be
attained by graduates of a programme of study and holder of a qualification.
The OBE was introduced for various programmes offered by the University from
2018-19 onwards. The overall objectives of the learning outcomes-based curriculum
framework are to :

 help to formulate graduate attributes, qualification descriptors, programme

learning outcomes and course learning outcomes that are expected to be
demonstrated by the holder of a qualification;
 enable prospective students, parents, employers and others to understand the
nature and level of learning outcomes (knowledge, skills, attitudes and values) or
attributes a graduate of a programme should be capable of demonstrating on
successful completion of the programme of study;
 maintain national standards and international comparability of learning outcomes
and academic standards to ensure global competitiveness, and to facilitate
student/graduate mobility; and
 provide higher education institutions an important point of reference for designing
teaching-learning strategies, assessing student learning levels, and periodic review
of programmes and academic standards.

October/ November; and for even semesters in April/May.
