DEFINITIONS OF KEY WORDS:

Core Course (CC): The purpose of fixing core papers is to ensure that all the institutions follow a minimum common curriculum so that each institution/university adheres to a common minimum standard. Also, the course designed for papers under this category aims to cover the basics that a student is expected to imbibe in that particular discipline. A course, which should compulsorily be studied by a candidate as a core requirement is termed as a Core course.

Discipline Specific Elective (DSE) 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 exposure to some other discipline/subject/domain or nurtures the candidate's proficiency/skill is called an Elective Course.

Ability Enhancement Compulsory Courses (AECC): These courses are the courses based upon the content that leads to Knowledge enhancement; i.e. Environmental Science and English/Hindi/MIL Communication. These are mandatory for all disciplines.

Skill Enhancement Courses (SEC): These courses may be chosen from a pool of courses designed to provide value-based and/or skill-based knowledge and should contain both theory and lab/hands-on/training/fieldwork. The main purpose of these courses is to provide students with life skills in the hands-on mode to increase their employability.

Generic Elective (GE) Courses: An elective course chosen from an unrelated discipline/subject, to seek exposure beyond the discipline/s of choice is called a Generic Elective. The purpose of this category of papers is to offer the students the option to explore disciplines of interest beyond the choices they make in Core and discipline-specific elective papers.

Choice-Based Credit System (CBCS): The CBCS provides choices for students to select from the prescribed courses (core, elective minor or soft skill courses).

Course: Usually referred to, as 'papers' is a component of a programme. All courses need not carry the same weight. The courses should define learning objectives and learning outcomes. A course may be designed to comprise lectures/ tutorials/laboratory work/ field work/ outreach activities/ project work/ vocational training/viva/ seminars/ term papers/assignments/ presentations/ self-study etc. or a combination of some of these.

Credit Point: It is the product of grade point and number of credits for a course.

Credit: A unit by which the course work is measured. It determines the number of hours of instructions required per week. One credit is equivalent to one hour of teaching (lecture or tutorial) or two hours of practical work/field work per week

Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA): It is a measure of the overall cumulative performance of a student over all years. The CGPA is the ratio of total credit points secured by a student in various courses in all years and the sum of the total credits of all courses in all years. It is expressed up to two decimal places.

Grade Point: It is a numerical weight allotted to each letter grade on a 10-point scale.

Grade Point Average (GPA): It is a measure of the performance of work done in a year. It is the ratio of total credit points secured by a student in various courses registered in a year and the total course credits taken during that year. It shall be expressed up to two decimal places.

Transcript or Grade Card or Certificate: Based on the grades earned, a grade certificate shall be issued to all the registered students every year. The grade certificate will display the course details (code, title, number of credits, grade secured) along with the GPA of that year and CGPA earned till that year.
