key notes on CBCS
some key notes on CBCS:
CBCS stands for Choice-Based Credit System and is an educational system adopted by many universities.
The system allows students to choose courses based on their interests and strengths, and gives them the flexibility to complete their degree at their own pace.
Each course is assigned a certain number of credits, and students are required to earn a minimum number of credits to graduate.
Credits are assigned based on the number of hours of instruction, and the number of hours of self-study required for a course.
The CBCS system includes a grading system that allows for a more comprehensive evaluation of a student's performance. Each course is graded on a 10-point scale, with a grade point average (GPA) calculated based on the student's performance across all courses.
There are only two assessments, and the average of them both will be taken as the internal marks out of 50. The end semesters add another 50.
Elective subjects and lab exams carry different credit weightage. Elective subjects carry 3 credits each, and lab exams carry 2 credits each.
The marks are converted into credits for providing points. The product of credits and marks, reduced to out of 10 points, are used to calculate the SGPA.
Lab exam papers are evaluated by internal and external evaluators after the completion of the experiment.
The CBCS system provides students with the opportunity to choose the faculty that they wish to take the course under. This can be done by taking a little help from seniors and enquiring about different faculties.
The CBCS system can be both an advantage as well as a disadvantage. The relative grading system is sometimes an advantage if the subject is going to be hard to score, but it can be a disadvantage if the subject is going to be easy to score.
Students should be prepared to face two assessments a day with just a day's gap in between these exams during which they will have regular classes.
