  • List of 20 Universities in Gujarat!
  • India opens doors to foreign universities
  • 16 new colleges qualify for Gujarat University affiliation
    • ]]>     Gujarat is fifth state to apply this system after Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka and Madhya Prades in India. On lines of universities abroad, state government announced on Thursday that universities in Gujarat will implement the choice-based credit system (CBCS) from next academic year.

    This means an undergraduate student of economics can also take physics or chemistry as an “elective subject” or a student of music could also do mathematics to upgrade the overall performance and credit. This globally accepted system is already implemented in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh. Following a directive from the Universities Grants Commission (UGC) to effect it at the earliest, the state government announced in the Assembly on Thursday that the state’s universities will switch from the current percentage based system to CBCS. By next academic year (2011-12), CBCS will be implemented gradually in universities, to be completed in three years.

    State education minister Ramanlal Vora told the Assembly: “It will facilitate graduate and post-graduate students to use their talent. It will also help them rank themselves while seeking admission abroad and in other states.” The government has begun preparing textbooks for elective subjects.

    Saurashtra University, Rajkot, and Sardar Patel University, Vallabh Vidyanagar, and a few technical institutes have partially implemented CBCS. While science colleges will do it first, arts and commerce colleges may take some more time.

    With the introduction of CBCS, there will be three types of subjects, with credit system as the base. There will be a core course, which each student must take, and a foundation course, which can be English for arts students. Then, there will be elective courses, which a student can take in order to improve the overall credit performance.
