Credit System

The University follows the 'Credit System' for its programmes. Each credits 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 both assignments and Term-end-Examination of each course in the programme.
