CHOICE BASED CREDIT SYSTEM These regulations are applicable to all candidates admitted into MBA programme from the academic year 2010 2011 batch onwards. PREAMBLE The phenomenal growth of science and technology and through this, the growth and spread of Management Science literature and arts have made available a large chunk of information and data for the learners. Availability of such huge knowledge has necessitated the introduction of a new system of education, called Choice Based Credit System (CBCS). When education is compartmentalized and a rigid academic system of is imposed, the learners will not have any choice in choosing the subjects of their liking or requirement to strengthen their knowledge in certain quarters which may be necessary for their career. Hence a paradigm shift from teachercentric to learner-centric educational system has occurred. This system offers flexibility to the learners. The flexibility could include multipoint entry, choice of a large number of electives (course curricula permitting students to choose subjects to suit their career aspirations), flexible pace of earning credits with minimum and maximum specified per semester, carrying over credits, having audit courses, and choosing courses from other disciplines.
1. DEFINITIONS AND NOMENCLATURE In these Regulations, unless the context otherwise requires: 1.1 Programme MBA Programme means Post Graduate Degree Programme in Business Administration. 1.2 Course A subject of study offered under MBA Programme is called a course. (Example: Organisational Behaviour) 1.3 Curriculum The collective subjects and components, papers, course etc. studied in the MBA degree programme that give appropriate knowledge in the chosen discipline are collectively called curricula. 1.4 Credits Course work is measured in units called credit hours or simply credits. The number of periods or hours of contact per week determine the credits of the course. If there is a lecture course with 4 period hours of lectures per week, then that course is said to have 4 credits, 2 period hours will have 2 credits and 1period hours as 1 credit. If a laboratory course has 2 periods (hours) per week, then it will have 1 credit and for 4 hours 2 credits. The summer project after the second semester carries2 credits and the major project in fourth Semester carries 12 credits and each credit provides 2 hours of work per week.

A student earned U grade in a core course has to repeat it compulsorily when the course is offered in a subsequent semester.
2.10 Semester Grade Point Average (GPA) Grade point Average is calculated as follows: n (C i x GP i ) i =1 GPA = ---------------------, where n Ci i =1 = Credits of a course
CI
GP i = Grade Points scored in that course. n = Number of courses in the semester
The Grade point Average will be rounded off to two decimals.
2.11 Cumulative Grade Point Average (SCGP / CGPA) N (C i x GP i ) i =1 CGPA = ----------------------N Ci i =1 Where N = Total number of courses upto that semester. While calculating SGPA / CGPA all courses upto that semester (SGPA) or all courses upto the end of the final semester (CGPA) are taken into account.
