students can register courses of their choice, learn at their own pace, undergo additional courses and acquire more than the required credits, and adopt an interdisciplinary approach

through open electives.

Key words CBCS, such as Course, credit, credit point, CGPA, SGPA, Grade Point, Letter Grades, Foundation Courses (FC), Program Core Course (PCC) and Elective Courses (EC) as given in UGC guidelines are used in this proposal with the same definitions.

Each Program of a Discipline or branch of study will consist of:

i). Foundation courses in Basic Sciences, Engineering Sciences and Humanities.

ii). Program core courses to impart broad based knowledge needed in the concerned

branch of study.

iii). Elective courses from the discipline or interdisciplinary areas / industry related

opted by the student based on his/her interest in specialization.

Each Program of study will be designed to have 35-40 theory courses and 20-25 laboratory

courses. The distribution and types of courses offered from the above is indicated in the

following table.
