FEATURES OF CHOICE BASED CREDIT SYSTEM

PG COURSES
The Autonomous (1978) St. Josephs College, accredited with
Five Star status in 2001, Re-accredited with A+ Grade from NAAC
(2006), Re-accredited with A Grade from NAAC (3rd cycle), had
introduced the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) for PG courses
from the academic year 2001-2002. As per the guidelines of Tamil
Nadu State Council of Higher Education (TANSCHE) and the
Bharathidasan University, the College has reformulated the CBCS in
2008-2009 by incorporating the uniqueness and integrity of the college.
OBJECTIVES OF THE CREDIT SYSTEM

outside the parent department as well as to migrate between
institutions
To provide broad-based education
To help students learn at their own pace
To provide students scope for acquiring extra credits
To impart more job oriented skills to students
To make any course multi-disciplinary in approach
What is credit system?

for the course. Generally one hour per week has one credit. For
viability and conformity to the guidelines credits are awarded
irrespective of the teaching hours. The following Table shows the

However, there could be some flexibility because of practicals,
field visits, tutorials and nature of project work.
For PG courses a student must earn a minimum of 100 credits.
The total number of courses offered by a department is 20. However
within their working hours a few departments can offer extra credit
courses.
Course Pattern
The Post Graduate degree course consists of three major
components. They are Core Course, Elective Course and Inter
Departmental Course (IDC). Also 2 compulsory components
namely Project / Project related items and SHEPHERD, the extension
components are mandatory.
Core Course
A core course is the course offered by the parent department,
totally related to the major subject, components like Practicals,
Projects, Group Discussions, Viva, Field Visits, Library Record form
part of the core course.
Elective Course
The course is also offered by the parent department. The
objective is to provide choice and flexibility within the department.
The student can choose his/her elective paper. Elective is related
to the major subject. The difference between core course and elective
course is that there is choice for the student. The department is at
liberty to offer three elective courses any semester. It must be offered
at least in two different semesters. The staff too may experiment
with diverse courses.
Inter Departmental Course (IDC)
IDC is an inter departmental course offered by a department
for the students belonging to other departments. The objective is to
provide mobility and flexibility outside the parent department. This
is introduced to make every course multi-disciplinary in nature. It
is to be chosen from a list of courses offered by various departments.
The list is given at the end of the syllabus copies. Two IDC s must be
taken by students which are offered in Semester II & III. In

M.A. English - 2012

Academy of Soft Skills).

specific internal components in one of the papers. At the
beginning of each semester, the four internal components
would be informed to the students and the staff will
administer those components on the date specified and the marks
acquired for the same will be forwarded to the Office of COE.

Evaluation
For each course there are formative continuous internal
assessment (CIA) and semester examinations (SE) in the weightage
ratio 50:50.
