Credits:

  • Credit defines the quantum of content/syllabus prescribed for the course. It may be a unit prescribed for a course and is determined by the number of hours of instruction required per week. Thus, in each course credits will be assigned on the basis of the number of hours required per week for lectures/tutorials/lab work/field work to complete the course in a single semester.
    • 1 credit = 1 hour of direct teaching per week
    • 1 credit = 2 hours of lab work/field work/project work per week

      Thus, 1 credit course requires 1 hour per week during a 15 week semester and accordingly a 3 credit or 4 credit courses requires 3 or 4 hours per week during a 15week semester.
