opted for a credit-based system under the academic flexibility Programme of the
university. This provides the flexibility to make the system more responsive to the
changing needs of our students, the professions and society. It gives greater freedom
students to determine their own pace of study. The credit-based system also facilitates
the transfer of credits.

courses in terms of their credit. For convenience each course has been given a number. The
first digit of the number represents the number of credits associated with the course. The
second two digits provide the level of the course. T in front of the number means theory
course and P means Practical course. Any number greater than 50 means the level of the
course is Post graduate and less than 50 means it is for undergraduate. One credit
