The Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) as per Bharathiar University under UGC
norms has been followed. Varying credits are assigned to different courses depending
on the instructional hours and the nature of the syllabus content. CBCS gives
freedom to the students to study courses of their choice and enables transfer of
credits if a student migrates to another institution to complete the same programme.
It also helps the students to earn more credits than the required minimum by
learning extra courses like Bharathiar University approved Diploma certificate
courses and Advanced Learners courses offered by the Departments.
To improve and enhance student learning and teaching quality, our curriculum has
been designed as Programme Outcome (PO) and Programme Special Outcome (PSO) based on
the approach of Outcome Based Education (OBE) from 2018-2019 and onwards. Blooms
Taxonomy has been used as the basis for setting learning outcomes, teaching methods
and in student's assessment.
The guidelines of attendance requirement issued by Bharathiar University are adopted by the College. Attendance shall be considered semester-wise (not annually).
