ORDER

The “Regulations for Under Graduate Programmes under Choice Based Course Credit Semester System and Grading,

2013’’ was promulgated vide U.O. read as (1) above. In this regulation Clause 11.2 (c) stipulates that the practical

examinations shall be conducted in even semesters only.

Since the practical Core Courses are independent, clubbing the practical examinations of odd and even semesters will

create confusion and inconvenience to student community and teachers alike. Hence the Conveners of Expert Committee

suggested that the practical examination of the Core Courses of UG Programmes other than Model I and Model II may

be conducted at the respective semesters itself.

Therefore, in the CBCSS Regulations-2013, after Clause 11.2 (d), sub clause 11.2 (e) is inserted as given below:

11.2 (e). The practical examination (external and internal) for the Core Courses of the UG Programmes other than

Model I and Model II shall be conducted in the respective semesters itself. Mark distribution for practical examination of

the Core Courses (Full Practical) of UG Programmes other than Model I and Model II will be as follows:
