A four-year eight semester degree program

1. Introduction to B.Sc. (Honours/ Research) Interior Design

The Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) provides an opportunity to a student to choose courses from the
syllabus comprising Core, Elective, Generic and Skill-based vocational courses. It offers a flexibility of
program structure while ensuring that the student gets a strong foundation in the subject and gains in-
depth knowledge. The learning outcome based curriculum framework (LOCF) will provide students with
a clear purpose to focus their learning efforts and enable them to make a well judged choice regarding the
course they wish to study. This will suit the present day needs of students in terms of securing their paths
towards higher studies or employment.
Program Duration and Design: The B.Sc. (Hons/Res) Interior Design course is a eight semester course
spread over four academic years. The teaching – learning process involves theory and practical classes
and will be student-centred. Apart from the conventional chalk and talk method, power point
presentations, audio–video tools, class discussions, simulations and virtual labs (wherever possible) will
be used. Students will be encouraged to carry out short term projects and participate in industrial and
institutional visits, seminars and workshops. Assessment will be based on continuous internal evaluation
(CIE) and semester end examination (SEE). Each theory paper will be of 100 marks out of which 20%
marks are for internal assessment while a practical paper will be of 50 marks comprising 50% internal
assessment.

2. Learning Outcome-based Curriculum Framework in BSc (Hons/ Res) Interior Design

The Learning Outcomes-based Curriculum Framework (LOCF) for the B.Sc. (Hons/ Res) degree in
Interior Design provides a broad structural framework that can accommodate the current curricular
needs as well as gives sufficient flexibility to include changes in content that assume importance as the
frontiers of science grow. The inherent flexibility in framework allows design of course basket in tune
with individual preferences. The basic uniformity in core course design ensures smooth movement across
universities in the country.
Nature and Extent: The B.Sc. (Hons/Res) Interior Design programme covers a wide range of basic and
applied courses as well as courses of interdisciplinary nature.
Aims of the Programme: The core courses offered in the programme aim to build a strong conceptual
chemical knowledge base in the student, the contents of electives and skill enhancement courses help
them explore their fitness and suitability to pursue studies in these areas.

3. Programme Specific Outcomes (PSOs) in B.Sc. (Hons/Res) Interior Design

PROGRAMME OUTCOME AIM : To develop professional, creative and skilled students
as practitioners of Interior Design .

PO1. Analytical Thinking
