OUTLINES OF CHOICE BASED CREDIT SYSTEM:
1. CORE COURSE:
These Courses are to be compulsorily studied as a core requirement for the programme. The contents of the Core Courses shall be as per the UGC Model Curriculum for the subject/discipline concerned. However, the Boards of Studies concerned may recommend maximum of 20% deviation from the UGC Model Syllabi wherever requires.The papers under this category are going to be taught uniformly across all the colleges under Nagaland University. In case, UGC does not provide model Syllabi/ Curriculum, the respective Board of under graduate Studies shall propose their own Core Courses keeping parity of total numbers of credits/ courses with other similar subjects/ disciplines.
2. 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 an exposure to some other discipline/subject/domain or nurtures the candidate’s proficiency/skill is called an Elective Course. There are two types of Elective courses under CBCS. These courses may be intra -departmental, i.e. Discipline Specific Elective (DSE) as well as inter-departmental, i.e., Generic Elective (GE). For the students of the same discipline/ subjects, these elective courses shall be intra-disciplinary and shall be called DSE Courses. If the students of other discipline/ subjects (within the Programme) opt these electives shall be considered as interdisciplinary and shall be called GE courses
2.1 DISCIPLINE SPECIFIC ELECTIVE (DSE) COURSE:
Elective courses offered under the main discipline/subject of study are referred to as Discipline Specific Elective. The list provided under this category is duly approved by respective BUGS. If desired, students can complete similar courses (following proper university guidelines) under SWAYAM platform and transfer the credit. Credit transfer under this category cannot be more than 50 % of the total no courses under DSE.
2.2 GENERIC ELECTIVE (GE) COURSE:
An elective course chosen from an unrelated discipline/subject, with an intention to seek exposure beyond 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. A core course offered in a discipline/subject may be treated as an elective by other discipline/subject and vice versa and such electives may also be referred to as Generic Elective. Students are advised to choose Generic Elective papers from other subjects in such a way that the knowledge gained from the generic elective papers enriches the study of the Core Honours course of the student. If BUGS for a particular subject has any specific criteria for selection of Generic Elective papers (keeping in mind the admission criteria for P.G. admission under different universities) it may be incorporated in the Syllabus for that particular subject. P.S.: A core course offered in a discipline/subject may be treated as an elective by other discipline/subject and vice versa and such electives may also be referred to as Generic Elective.
2.3 ABILITY ENHANCEMENT COURSES (AEC):
The Ability Enhancement (AE) Courses are of two kinds: Ability Enhancement Compulsory Courses (AECC) and Skill Enhancement Courses (SEC). “AECC” courses are the courses based upon the content that leads to Knowledge enhancement; i. Environmental Science and ii. English//MIL Communication. These are mandatory for all disciplines. SEC courses are value-based and/or skill-based and are aimed at providing hands-on-training, competencies, skills, etc.
