of an individual and allows easy mobility of the

CBCS makes education broad-based and on par
with global standards
Outline of Choice Based Credit System

student as a core requirement to complete the
requirement of a programme in a said discipline of

Elective course is a course which can be chosen
from a pool of papers
• Generic Elective: unrelated discipline/subject
• Discipline centric: main discipline/subject
3.
Foundation Course:
• Compulsory Foundation: For Knowledge
enhancement (mandatory)
• Elective foundation: value-based and/or skillbased
Education is not preparation for life; education is life
itself.
