Outline of Choice Based Credit System
- Core Course: A course, which should compulsorily be studied by a candidate as a core requirement is termed as a Core course.
- 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.
The students of our institution have the choice of selecting their elective in Part III and Part IV of the course work.
