The Choice-Based Credit system is an internationally acknowledged system which has been introduced since 10th Five Year Plan (2007-2012) by the different universities in India. The UGC initiated several measures to ensure some important aspects of higher education system (equity, expansion, excellence and employability) in our country. Recently the focus has been concentrated more to ensure quality in higher education. The academic reforms recommended by the UGC in the recent past have led to overall improvement in the higher education system. Keeping this end in view UGC has come up with the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) where students can not only learn Core Subjects but also explore additional avenues of learning beyond the Core Subjects for holistic development of an individual. The CBCS, an internationally accepted system that envisages flexibility to students to learn subjects of their choice at their own pace has now become very essential to adopt/introduce in the higher education system. In fact, this system has become world-wide appreciation due to some immediate benefits accrued by the students as a whole. Mentionable that the college has introduced curriculum based on CBCS in B.Sc. (Hons) Courses in the academic session 2017-18; and B.A. (Hons & General), B. Com (Hons & Gen) and B. Sc. (General) Courses in the academic session 2018-19.
