Telangana university to go ahead with credit system as yesterday Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE) announced that the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) would be implemented in universities in the state from the coming academic year 2015-16.
In press conference, T Papi Reddy, chairman of TSCHE said that the Centre and the University Grants Commission (UGC) had asked them to implement a uniform evaluation system. Since CBCS offers greater choice to students, they decided to go ahead with it. After seeking opinion from vice-chancellors of various varsities, TSCHE directed officials to start preparations for implementing the new system at the under-graduate level.
The CBCS has three core components - core course, elective course and the ability enhancement course. The new system will give students the freedom to study subjects of their choice apart from core subjects. For example, if a science student wants to earn credits by learning a commerce subject, then CBCS gives the student the freedom to do so. It will also ensure seamless mobility to students across the higher education institutions in the country.
Under CBCS, exams will be conducted semester-wise. Draft syllabus for 19 under-graduate courses has already been prepared by the UGC.
Reddy further adds that concerns over recruitment of faculty members in degree colleges remain. They will urge the government to recruit more teachers for better implementation of the system at district level. The government is also planning to release funds to improve infrastructure as per CBCS for 56 colleges in the state. As per the officials the nodal college for implementation of CBCS is yet to be finalised.
