Draft Regulations
Four-Year Undergraduate Programmes
as per NEP-2020
(effective from 2021-22)

BANGALORE UNIVERSITY
Jnanabharathi campus, Bengaluru
Systematic and structural education is the most effective path for developing and exploiting
our country’s vast skills and resources to benefit individuals, communities, the country, and
the globe. Over the next decade, India will have the world’s most promising, production of
young population, and our capacity to offer them high-quality educational opportunities
will decide the country's future.
The cornerstone of National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 is the UN’s interrelated 17
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including the fourth objective (SDG-4) on quality
education. The NEP intends to induce a paradigm shift by re-conceptualising higher
education as well as re-visioning and redesigning essential components of higher education
in India, in line with the UN’s goal. The NEP’s ideals are in accordance with the objective
of education in the 21stcentury. As a result, the NEP emphasises the development of
literacy and numeracy, as well as higher-order cognitive talents such as critical thinking
and knowledge to solve social, ethical, and emotional challenges.
The NEP Regulations for Four-Year Undergraduate Program were drafted by the committee
over the course of more than three months. The University's Faculty Members were given the
opportunity to comment on the proposed NEP rules 2020, which were subsequently approved
by the Faculty of Arts, Science and Commerce, and the Academic Council for implementation
commencing in the academic year 2021-22.
2
As per the NEP, the structure and durations of University degree programmes are modified.
The undergraduate degree is structured for either three or four years with multiple exit
options and appropriate certifications. Students are eligible for obtaining a certificate after
one year of study; a diploma is awarded after two years of study, and a Bachelor’s degree
is awarded after a three-year programme. Students can pursue a four-year multidisciplinary
Bachelor’s degree to gain exposure to the whole spectrum of holistic education while
focusing on their chosen major and minor areas.
As NEP is based on a Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), the accumulated credits of a
student are digitally stored in the Academic Bank of Credit (ABC) system. If a student
chooses to transfer to a different Higher Education Institution (HEI) to study a particular
topic, previous semester credits will be digitally transferred to the new HEI.The credits
earned by the student will be transferable across numerous recognised higher education
institutions within the state/country, allowing degrees to be awarded from any of the HEIs
based on the credits earned. The 4-year programme may lead to a degree with Research if a
student completes a research project as per the curriculum.
For the state of Karnataka, the Karnataka State Higher Education Council has suggested a
model curriculum framework and an implementation plan. Its mission is to propose and
support implementing plans and programmes that increase academic quality and the state’s
academic and Research environment. The suggested curricular framework aims to empower
students by assisting them in their quest for total excellence.
3
This Multidisciplinary Undergraduate programme aims to improve the student’s community
with the implementation of flexible and creative curricula. This encompasses a wide variety of
disciplines in order to expose students to a broad range of information and experience while
focusing on one or two areas in particular.The curriculum would fulfil the significant
knowledge criteria for vocational, professional, and skill development since it
incorporateshumanities, arts, social, physical, and mathematical sciences, life sciences, sports,
and culture.
The post-graduate programme is restructured into a one-year Master’s degree for four-year
honours degree graduates and a two-year Master’s degree for three-year degree holders, based
on the major/minor fields chosen in the fifth and sixth semesters of the undergraduate degree
course.
REGULATIONS
4
d) Students can have exit options in Five-Years Integrated Master’s Degree programme at
the end of the third year programme with a Bachelor’s degree and the end of the fourth
year with a Bachelor’s Honours degree.
e) There may also be an integrated doctoral programme with an exit option at the end of
the first year with the Master’s degree.
f) Students who leave with a Certification, Diploma, or a Basic Bachelor’s Degree will
be eligible to re-enter the programme at the exit level to compete or progress to the
next level.
g) The curriculum combines conceptual understanding with practical involvement and
thinking to impart applicable knowledge through laboratory experiences, field work,
internships, workshops, and research projects.
h) All students must take a few required courses that will help them expand their
horizons. In any academic discipline, however, two areas of specialisation allow for
in-depth knowledge of the subject.
i) Students select a ‘major discipline’ and a ‘minor discipline’ from a list of two
disciplines/subjects provided by theinstitution. Students are expected to gain in-depth
disciplinary understanding through theoretical and practical experiences, as well as an
adequate knowledge base that is studied as a ‘minor discipline’. Students can choose
subject combinations across the ‘streams’.
j) Students are allowed to study two subjects in each semester upto the sixth semester.To
acquire an Honours degree,they must select one of the disciplines in the fourth year.
On the other hand, if studentswish to possess another Honours degree in the second
subject studied, they mustrepeat the fourth year of the course in the second subject as
a major.
k) The students may study two disciplines at the same level or breadth up to the sixth
semester and choose one of them for study in the fourth year to obtain the Honours
degree in that discipline. A student who wishes to get dual degrees may repeat the
fourth year of the program in the second discipline.
l) In the undergraduate degree, students might concentrate on one discipline, a
vocational field or Teacher Education. They will obtain an Honours degree in either
the discipline or the vocational subject/Teacher Education or both.
m) Skills must be explicitly integrated, prominently exhibited, taught in context, and
evaluated explicitly. The skills shall include language, communication and life skills,
andworking in various teams such as critical thinking, problem-solving and data
analysis.
n) Students will have the option of selecting courses from a range of alternatives
available at the school. There will be no constraint in the subject combinations.
In terms of academic standards and assessment methods, the four-year CBCS maintains a
university's output up to date with worldwide trends. Bangalore University must consider
adopting this strategy in globalising Indian higher education so that students can travel both
inside and outside of geographical domains.
Each course carriesa defined number of credits. The credits are based on the course structure,
including the teaching mode and the number of contact hours for lecture, tutorial, and
practical classes. One hour of theory/tutorial teaching per week equals one credit, and two
hours of laboratory/demonstration classes per week equals one credit. Credits are considered
based onthe number of contact hours, course content, teaching methodology, allotted
5
maximum marks.While calculating the grading, one credit is equal to 25 marks in a
semester.Thus, a 3 or 4 credit course will receive 100 marks, a 2 credit course would receive
50 marks, and a single credit course will receive 25 marks. The proportion of marks earned in
a course and the credits given to that course are used to calculate the Semester Grade Point
Average (SGPA) or Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA).
6
of the total creditsof all courses in all the semesters. It is expressed up to two decimal
places.
m) Transcript or Grade Card or Certificate: Based on the grades earned, a graded
certificate shall be issued to all the registered students after every semester. The
gradecertificate will display the course details (code, title, number of credits, grade
secured).

The undergraduate degree should be three- or four-year, with multiple entries and exit options
within this period. The four-year multidisciplinary Bachelor’s programme is the preferred
option. It allows the opportunity to experience the full range of holistic and multidisciplinary
education, focusing on major and minor subjects as per the student’s preference. The four-
year programme may also lead to a degree in Research if the student completes a rigorous
research project in the study's major area(s).
Thus the undergraduate programmes shall extend over four academic years (Eight Semesters)
with multiple entries and exit options. The students can exit after the completion of one
academic year (Two semesters) with the Certificate in a discipline or a field; Diploma after
the study of Two academic years (Four Semesters); and Regular Bachelor Degree after the
completion of Three academic years (Six Semesters). The successful completion of Four
Years undergraduate Programmes would lead to Bachelor Degrees with Honours in a
discipline/subject.Each semester shall consist of at least 16 weeks of study with a minimum of
90 working days (excluding time spent for the conduct of final examination of each semester).
The students shall be required to earn at least fifty per cent of the credits from

The Academic Bank of Credits (ABC), a national-level facility, will promote the flexibility of
the curriculum framework and interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary academic mobility of
students across the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the country with an appropriate
"credit transfer" mechanism. It is a mechanism to facilitate the students to choose their own
learning path to attain a Degree/ Diploma/Certificate, working on the principle of multiple
entry and exit as well as anytime, anywhere, and any level of learning. ABC will enable the
integration of multiple disciplines of higher learning leading to the desired learning outcomes
including increased creativity, innovation, higher-order thinking skills and critical analysis.
ABC will provide significant autonomy to the students by providing an extensive choice of
courses for a programme of study, flexibility in curriculum, novel and engaging course
options across a number of higher education disciplines/ institutions.
The multiple entries and exit options for students are facilitated at the undergraduate and
Master’s levels. It would facilitate credit accumulation through the facility created by the
ABC scheme in the "Academic Bank Account" opened for students across the country to
transfer and consolidate their credits by undergoing courses in any eligible HEIs. The ABC
allows for credit redemption by commuting the accrued credits in the Academic Bank
Account maintained in the ABC to fulfil the credits requirements for awarding
certificate/diploma/degree by the authorised HEIs. Upon collecting a certificate, diploma or
degree, all the credits earned till then, in respect of that Certificate or degree, shall be debited
and deleted from the account concerned. HEIs offering programmes with multiple entries and
13
exit systems need to register in the ABC to enable acceptance of multidisciplinary courses,
credit transfer, and credit acceptance.
The validity of credits earned will be for a maximum period of seven years or as specified by
the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC). The procedure for depositing credits earned, its shelf
life, the redemption of credits would be as per UGC (Establishment and Operationalization of
Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) scheme in Higher Education) Regulations, 2021.
(1) Registered Higher Education Institutions shall monitor the development and
operationalisation of the ABC programme at the university level and the level of their
affiliated autonomous colleges.
(2) Registered Higher Education Institutions shall offer teacher or staff training, mentoring,
academic and administrative audit and other measures for improving the quality of
performance of the ABC facility and promotion of holistic/ multidisciplinary education
with the support of ABC, which may be in the form of Faculty Development Programmes

Technology Inculcation Programmes.
(3) The Quality assurance of the implementation of ABC at the level of the registered
University or autonomous college shall be developed by the University or autonomous
college concerned either through the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) or any other
appropriate structured mechanism as may be decided by the Registered Higher Education
Institution.
(4) Every Registered Higher Education shall upload, annually, on its website, a report of its
activities vis-a-vis the Academic Bank of Credits, as well as of measures taken by it for
Quality assurance, Quality sustenance and Quality enhancement.
(5) There shall be an Academic Bank of Credits-Grievance Redressal Mechanism at the level
of Central Government/University Grants Commission/Academic Bank of Credits, and at
the level of every Higher Education Institution registered with Academic Bank of Credits

curricular and extension activities.
9.2 An option to change a language/subject may be exercised only once within four weeks
from the date of commencement of the I/III Semester on payment of the feeprescribed.
9.3 Whenever a change in a subject is permitted, the attendance in the changed subject shall
be calculated by considering the attendance in the previous subject studied.
9.4 Suppose a candidate represents their institution / University/ Karnataka State/ Nation in
Sports / NCC / NSS / Cultural or any officially sponsored activities, in that case, they may
be permitted to claim attendance for the actual number of days participated, based on the
Head of the Institution's recommendation. Suppose a candidate is selected to participate
in national level events such as Republic Day Parade etc, in that case, they may be
permitted to claim attendance for the actual number of days participated based on the
Head of the Institution's recommendation.
23
9.5 A candidate who does not satisfy the requirement of attendance in one or more courses/
subjects shall not be permitted to take the University examination of those courses/
subjects. The candidate shall seek re-admission to those courses/ subjects in a subsequent
year.
The details of the Course Patterns (hours of instructions per week) and the Schemes of
Examinations of the different degree programmes are given in Appendix A &Appendix B.
The Syllabi of the courses shall be as prescribed by the University.
a) Classroom processes must encourage rigorous thinking, reading and writing, debate,
discussion, peer learning and self-learning.
b) The emphasis is on critical thinking and challenge to current subject orthodoxy and
develops innovative solutions. Curricular content must be presented in ways that invite
questions, not as a body of ready knowledge to be assimilated or reproduced. Faculty
should be facilitators of questioning and not authorities on expertise.
c) Classroom pedagogy should focus on the ‘how’ of things, i.e. applying theory and ideas.
All courses, including social sciences and humanities, should design projects and
practicums to enable students to get relevant hands-on experiences.
d) Learning must be situated in the Indian context to ensure no sense of alienation from their
context, country and culture.
e) Classroom processes must address issues of inclusion and diversity since students are
likely to be from diverse cultural, linguistic, socio-economic and intellectual
backgrounds.
f) Cooperative and peer-supported activities must be part of empowering students to take
charge of their own learning.
g) Faculty will have the freedom to identify and use the pedagogical approach best suited to
a particular course and student.
h) Pedagogies like PBL (Problem / Project Based Learning) and Service Learning be
brought into practice as part of the curriculum. Experiential learning in an internship with
a specified number of credits is to be made mandatory.
The blended learning (BL) method is intended to aid learners in developing 21st-century
abilities as well as effective learning and skill development in subject-domains. BL should be
introduced with caution and should not be used to replace classroom time as a privilege.
Every department should aspire to be a role model for the effective implementation of BL in
our country's higher education.
24
12. BLENDED MODE (BL) AS A NEW MODE OF TEACHING-LEARNING
Higher education learners are adult learners who come with their own world of experience,
previous knowledge gained at schooling level and previous years of education, exposure to
other sources of knowledge, etc. Even pre-session resources suggested by teachers help them
with some knowledge, information. Lecturing of teachers assuming the learners are empty
boxes is no more a preferred pedagogy. Instead, learners can contribute by sharing their
knowledge, ideas, and views, either in the classroom or on online platforms.
BL mode will provide this opportunity to learners to a great extent. Resources can be
uploaded, and external links can be posted on Learning Management systems before
classroom sessions. These Out-of-class resources are helpful, at least for acquiring
information. Once the students study through the resources, classroom time can be utilised
fruitfully in discussions. Online platforms such as discussion forums, shared documents,
blogs, etc., may be used to help them share their ideas and knowledge on a common platform.
Brainstorming exercise always helps learners think spontaneously; derive solutions, ideas;
appreciate others’ ideas, and enjoy the generation of several ideas by the whole group instead
of listening to only teachers’ ideas and views. It creates a sense of personal responsibility to
think and learn.
Hence the area of assessment and evaluation needs to be explored again in the light of BL
mode.
25
12.1 Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation
Summative evaluation will not suffice the need of testing all levels of learning outcomes. The
modular curriculum demands assessment at several intervals during and after learning
outcomes specified for every module. Cognitive skills such as logical thinking, application of
knowledge and skills, analysis and synthesis of concepts and rules demand evaluation
strategies other than summative paper-pencil tests. Innovative evaluation strategies are to be
used by teachers during the semester. Increased weightage of internal evaluation should be
encouraged by including innovative assessment and evaluation strategies.
On-demand examinations
In most cases, students are forced to write the examination in a single go and collectively.
However, with the advent of new methods, which are technology-based and also blending of
teaching-learning and examinations in a new form, it would be an excellent approach to offer
examination on demand to provide more flexibility and student centricity.
ePortfolio
ePortfolio is not only a compilation of a few best assignments, activities of a learner
throughout the programme but their reflections about the assignments, experience and
26
challenges faced during the process of working on these assignments, overall approach,
attitude, philosophy towards life as a learner and also their academic resume. ePortfolio is a
comprehensive tool that becomes a mirror to a learner for the world.
Creative Products
Innovative Pedagogies and relevant ICT tools enable learners to develop creative products as
individual or group learning activities. These products are learning experiences initially, but
learners should always be given corrective feedback about their outputs. Once feedback is
sought, learners need to be given a chance to improve their products and then be considered
for formative evaluation. e.g. preliminary conceptmap can be revised after discussion of the
topic, summarisation and feedback. A revised conceptmap can be assessed.
One creative/collaborative activity may then be led towards another product, an assessment
activity. e.g. Group or individual presentations by self-learning would be a learning activity
and not an assessment activity. Once the teacher provides corrective feedback during such
presentations, learners can be expected to revise the same presentations, add a small write-
up/info-graph/video to it and submit it as an assignment.
Creative assignments such as digital stories, Cartoon strips, drama scripts, eNewsletter,
eMagazine, Recorded interviews of stakeholders, Case studies, etc., can be used for formative
assessment.
Classroom/Online Quizzes
During the Covid time, many exams were forced to be conducted in an online mode. These
were supported by various tools that came into being in recent times and were based on
proctoring through Artificial Intelligence tools. However, AI as technology can be used for
many more assessments like attention levels, speed of learning, level of learning etc. Hence
new tools should be experimented with for examinations and assessments.
Total marks for each course shall be based oncontinuous assessments and semester-end
examinations. As per the decision taken at the Karnataka State Higher Education Council,
it is necessary to have a uniform pattern of 40:60 for IA and Semester End theory
examinations respectively and 50:50 for IA and Semester End practical examinations,
respectively, in all the Universities, their Affiliated and Autonomous Colleges.
28
e) For assignments, tests, case study analysis etc., of C1 and C2, the students should bring
their own answer scripts (A4 size), graph sheets etc., required for such tests/assignments
and these be stamped by the concerned department using their department seal at the time
of conducting tests/ assignment / work etc.
f) The outline for continuous assessment activities for Component-I (C1) and Component-II
(C2) of a course shall be as under.
g) For practical course of full credits, Seminar shall not be compulsory. In its place, marks
shall be awarded for Practical Record Maintenance (the ratio is 50% : 50%)
h) Conduct of Seminar, Case study / Assignment, etc. can be either in C1 or in C2
component at the convenience of the concerned teacher.
i) The teachers concerned shall conduct test / seminar / case study, etc. The students should
be informed about the modalities well in advance. The evaluated courses / assignments
during component I (C1) and component II (C2) of assessment are immediately provided
to the candidates after obtaining acknowledgement in the register by the concerned
teachers(s) and maintained by the Chairman in the case of a University Post-Graduate
Department and the Principal / Director in the case of affiliated institutions. Before
commencement of the semester end examination, the evaluated test, assignment etc. of C1
and C2 shall be obtained back to maintain them till the announcement of the results of the
examination of the concerned semester.
j) The internal assessment marks shall be published on the notice board of the
department/college for information of the students.
k) The Internal assessment marks shall be communicated to the Registrar (Evaluation) at
least ten days before the commencement of the University examinations, and the Registrar
(E) shall have access to the records of such periodical assessments.
