Credit System

The University follows the 'Credit System' for its programmes. Each credit is of 30 hours of study comprising all learning activities. Thus, a four-credit course involves 120 study hours. This helps the students to understand the academic efforts one has to put into, in order to successfully complete a course. Completion of an academic programme requires successful clearing of all assignments (CMA, TMA and Project) and Term-end-Examination of each course in the programme. Therefore, to qualify successfully in the course students have to submit TMA, Project along with viva voice and appear for practical assignment.
