Principal
Government College (Autonomous), Mandya – 571401 Regulations Governing the Choice Based Credit System
For Undergraduate (Bachelor degree) Programmes in the Faculties of Arts,
Science and Commerce
Preamble:
Higher education today, especially in the Indian context has assumed major importance. New
challenges in higher education have led to a paradigm shift in reconceptualising what constitutes
Higher Education and what its goals ought to be. Traditional educational systems rely on
information based knowledge. However the shortcomings in collapsing the task of knowledge
acquisition to largely an exercise in imparting information are increasing felt in society with
profound consequences. The need of the hour is to move towards a more holistic approach that
integrates providing of skills and specialized training with the values necessary to make a student
into a better human being and a useful member of society. Thus the role of universities and
colleges in the 21st century extends far beyond traditional knowledge creation and dissemination
to encompass new expectations for innovations that will have broader social and economic
benefits. The UGC has formulated various regulations and guidelines from time to time to
improve the higher education system and maintain minimum standards and quality across the
Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) in India. The academic reforms recommended by the UGC in
the recent past have led to over-all improvement in the higher education system. An important
concern voiced more strongly in recent times, is the need to develop a Choice-Based Credit
System (CBCS) in tune with global trends and the adoption of a sound grading system for
reflecting learner performance.
The CBCS brings in flexibility into Education system. This makes the product of a college at par
with the global practices in terms of academic standards and evaluation strategies. Retaining the
structures of the present undergraduate and post-graduate programmes. In the emerging
scenario of Internationalization of Indian Higher Education, it is imperative that the Colleges and
Universities in India should follow this system so that the mobility of their products both within
and across the geographical jurisdiction becomes possible. Hence Government College
(Autonomous), Mandya wishes to initiate qualitative and substantial changes in its undergraduate
and postgraduate programmes, to cater to the needs of students with diverse talents, aspirations
and professional requirements. The CBCS has already been implemented for postgraduate
programmes. The college has now decided to introduce CBCS in all the Undergraduate
Programmes in the faculties of Arts, Science and Commerce, effective from the academic year
2015-16. For multifaceted development of students, CBCS curriculum emphasizes on wide variety
of courses to enhance their knowledge in several core courses including those in languages and
subjects in Arts, Science and Commerce, and value – based and skill development courses.
Salient Features of the Choice Based Credit System
The choice based credit system (CBCS) accelerates the teaching – learning process and enables
vertical and horizontal mobility in learning. The CBCS provides flexibility in designing curriculum
and assigning credits based on the course content and hours of teaching. It provides opportunities
for the students to select course of their choice, learn at their own pace, undergo additional
courses and acquire more than the required credits, and adopt an interdisciplinary approach to
learning.
The general features of the CBCS are
a) The relative importances of subjects of study are quantified in terms of credits.
b) The subjects of study include foundation, core and skill development courses.
c) The programme permits horizontal mobility in course selections.
d) The students shall take part in co-curricular and extra – curricular activities.
e) The declaration of result is based on the Aggregate Percentage of marks obtained as well as
on Aggregate or Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA earned.
1. TITLE AND COMMENCEMENT:
a) These regulations shall be called “the Regulations Governing the Choice Based Credit System
(CBCS) for the Undergraduate Degree Programmes in the Faculties of Arts, Science and
Commerce”.
b) These regulations shall come into force from the academic Year 2015-16.
2. DURATION OF THE PROGRAMMES, REQUIREMENTS AND OPTIONS:
Durations of the undergraduates programmes shall extend over SIX semesters (Three
academic years) for the regular Bachelor Degree. Each semester shall consist of at least 16

3. DEFINITIONS of Key Words:
1. Academic Year: Two consecutive (one odd + one even) semesters constitute one academic
year.
2. Choice Based Credit System (CBCS): The CBCS provides choice for students to select from the
prescribed courses (core, elective or minor or skill courses).
3. Course: 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 out-comes.
A course may be designed to comprise lectures/ tutorials/ laboratory work / field work/
outreach activities/project work/ outreach activities/ project work/ vocational
training/viva/seminars/term papers/assignments/ presentations/self-study etc. or a
combination of some of these.
4. Credit Based Semester System (CBCS): Under the CBSS, the requirement for awarding a degree or diploma or certificate is prescribed in terms of number of credits to be completed by the students.
5. Credit Point: It is the product of grade point and number of credits for a course.
6. Credit: A unit by which the course work is measured. It determines the number of hours of instructions required per week. One credit is generally equivalent to one hour of teaching (lecture or tutorial) or two hours of practical work / field work per week.
7. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA): It is a measure of overall cumulative performance of a student over all semesters. The CGPA is the ratio of total credit points secured by a student in various courses in all semesters and the sum of the total credits of all courses in all the semesters. It is expressed up to two decimal places.

A Core course may be a Soft Core if there is a choice or an option for the candidate to choose a course from a pool of courses from the main discipline/ subject of study or from a sister/ related discipline / subject which supports the main discipline/ subject. In contrast to the phrase soft core, a compulsory core course is called a Hard Core Course. 2. 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. Elective courses may be offered by the main discipline/ subject of study or by sister or related discipline/ subject of study. A soft Core course may also be considered as an elective. An elective course chosen generally from an unrelated discipline /subject, with an intention to seek exposure is called an open elective. 3.Foundation Course:- The Foundation Course may be of two kinds: Compulsory Foundation and Elective Foundation. Compulsory Foundation courses are the courses based upon the content that leads to Knowledge enhancement. They are mandatory for all disciplines. Elective foundation course are value- based and are aimed at man –making education.

23 Photo copy of Answer scripts, Re- totaling and Re- valuation
23.1 A candidate who desires to apply for Photo copy of his theory answer script, may do so by paying the prescribed fee and submitting prescribed application directly to the COE within the date, as specified from time to time, provided that there shall not be provision for only seeing
23.2 A candidate who desires to apply for Re-totaling and Re –valuation of his only theory answer script of End– semester examination, may do so by paying the prescribed fee and by submitting the prescribed application, along with the relevant original marks card to the COE, within the date as notified from time to time by the College
23.3 The Re-totaling shall provide for checking whether all the answers have been valued and
whether the totaling is correct. In case any answer or part there of has not been valued, that part may be referred to another valuer, and marks so awarded shall be added to the total.

circumstance an internal valuer, who has not valued that particular paper, may do the revaluation.
23.7 If the difference between the original marks and the revaluation marks does not exceed 15
percent of the maximum marks prescribed for that theory paper, the average of the two marks shall be the final award.
23.8 If the difference between the original marks and the revaluation marks is more than 15 percent
of the maximum prescribed for that theory paper, such scripts shall be got valued by another external examiner. The average of the nearest two shall be the final award of marks
23.9 In case where one or more answer are not valued by the original valuer, then the marks
awarded by the subsequent valuer, as far as these answers are concerned, shall be taken as they are, without averaging with the marks of the other answers.
23.10 In cases where the difference between the original marks, first revaluation marks or / and the
second revaluation marks clearly indicate that a particular examiner has been erratic in his/her valuation, then such cases shall be referred to the “Malpractice and Lapses Inquiry committee” to establish whether or not any valuer has been erratic in his evaluation, and to recommend if the committee so desires, any punitive measures.
23.11 If there is a complaint of a serious nature, of erratic or unfair valuation in any paper for a
group of candidates, the principal may after a preliminary inquiry, order for special valuation of the concerned group of or entire set of candidates in the paper concerned. After such special valuation, a random sample of 10% of the answer scripts subject to a minimum of 10 shall be referred for review.

Appendix B
1. Computation of SGPA and CGPA
The following procedure recommended by the UGC is used to compute the Semester Grade
Point Average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA):
1.1 The SGPA is the ratio of sum of the product of the number of credits with the grade points scored by a
student in all the course taken by a student and the sum of the number of credits of all the courses
undergone by a student, i.e
SGPA (Si) = ∑(Ci x Gi) / ∑Ci
Where Ci is the number of credits of the ith course and Gi is the grade points scored by the student in
the ith course.
1.2 The CGPA is also calculated in the same manner taking into account all the courses undergone by a
student over all the semesters of a programme, i.e
CGPA= ∑(Ci x Si) / ∑ Ci
Where Si is the SGPA of the ith semester and Ci is the total number of credits in that semester.
1.3 The SGPA and CGPA shall be rounded off to 2 decimal points and reported in the transcripts.
