The Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) is an educational model that offers students to opt for courses & subjects of their choice - core, elective courses, open or global electives & skill-based courses.
The Choice Based Credit System (CBCS)
:- It was introduced by the University Grants Commission (UGC).
:- Unlike the traditional marking-based system, the CBCS grading pattern is based on earned credits every semester.
:- The primary objective behind this thoughtful CBCS scheme is to encourage students to be all-rounders by taking their skills a notch higher.
:- CBCS system offers three types of course choices to the Students - Core, Elective, and Foundation.
(Core Course)
:- Students need to choose a core subject compulsorily to complete the credit requirement.
(Elective Course)
These subjects have more generic content and aim to increase the students' skills. They expose the student to subjects that are not in their curriculum. Students get the freedom to opt for the subjects of their personal interest.
(Foundation)
Also referred to as "Ability Enhancement Courses", the foundation courses offer value-based subjects that lead to knowledge enhancement. Such value-based subjects can help students grab excellent career opportunities in the long run.
