2 year, 4 Semester Full time Programme

Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) and Grading System Outcome Based Education Pattern

MBA I effective from AY 2019-20 MBA II effective from AY 2020-21

1.0 Preamble: The revised MBA Curriculum 2019 builds on the implementation of the Choice Based Credit System

(CBCS) and Grading System initiated in the AY 2013. The curriculum takes the MBA programme to the next level in terms of implementing Outcome Based Education along with the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) and Grading System.

2.0 Definitions: 2.1 Outcome Based Education: 2.1.1 Outcome Based Education (OBE) Approach: Outcomes are about performance, and this implies:

a) There must be a performer – the student (learner), not only the teacher b) There must be something performable (thus demonstrable or assessable) to perform c) The focus is on the performance, not the activity or task to be performed

2.1.2 Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs): Programme Educational Objectives are a set of broad future-focused student performance outcomes that explicitly identify what students will be able to do with what they have learned, and what they will be like after they leave school and are living full and productive lives. Thus PEOs are what the programme is preparing graduates for in their career and professional life (to attain within a few years after graduation1).

2.1.3 Graduate Attributes (GAs): Graduate Attributes (GAs) are the qualities, knowledge and capabilities that students are encouraged to take responsibility for developing throughout their studies and are the defining characteristics of the students passing out of the MBA program. These attributes include, but go beyond, the disciplinary expertise or technical knowledge.

2.1.4 Programme Outcomes (POs): Programme Outcomes are a set of narrow statements that describes what students (learners) of the programme are expected to know and be able to perform or attain by the time of graduation.

2.1.5 Programme Specific Outcomes (PSOs): Programme Outcomes are a set of narrow statements that describes what students (learners) of a particular specialization of the programme are expected to know and be able to perform or attain by the time of graduation. PSOs are also a function of the various course combinations offered by the Institute.

2.1.6 Learning Outcomes: A learning outcome is what a student CAN DO as a result of a learning experience. It describes a specific task that he/she is able to perform at a given level of competence under a certain situation. The three broad types of learning outcomes are:

a) Disciplinary knowledge and skills b) Generic skills c) Attitudes and values

2.1.7 Course Outcomes (COs): A set of specific statements that describes the complex performances a student should be capable of as a result of learning experiences within a course.

2.1.8 Teaching and Learning Activities (TLAs): The set of pedagogical tools and techniques or the teaching and learning activities that aim to help students to attain the intended learning outcomes and engage them in these learning activities through the teaching process.

2.1.9 Outcome Based Assessment (OBA): An assessment system that asks course teachers to first identify what it is that we expect students to be able to do once they have completed a course or program. It then asks course teachers to provide evidence that they are able to do so. In other words, how will each learning outcome be assessed? What evidence of student learning is most relevant for each learning outcome and what standard or criteria will be used to evaluate that evidence? Assessment is therefore a key part of outcome-based education and used to determine whether or not a qualification has been achieved.

2.2 Credit: In terms of credits, for a period of one semester of 15 weeks:

1 Graduation refers to passing out of the MBA programme. Graduation does NOT refer to 10+2+3/4 degree e.g. BA, BE, etc.

a) every ONE hour session per week of L amounts to 1 credit per semester b) a minimum of TWO hours per week of T amounts to 1 credit per semester, c) a minimum of TWO hours per week of P amounts to 1 credit per semester,

Each credit is a combination of 3 components viz. Lecture (L) + Tutorials (T) + Practice (Practical / Project Work / Self Study) (P) i.e. LTP Pattern. Indicative LTP, for each course, is documented in the syllabus. The course teacher may modify the LTP of the course in view of the course requirements, nature of the course, the level of learners and the type of pedagogy and assessment tools proposed. The modified LTP shall have to be approved by the Director / Head of the Department / Designated academic authority of the Institute. 2.3 Session: Each teaching-learning, evaluation session shall be of 60 minutes. However, institutes shall have the

flexibility to define their time slots in a manner as to use their faculty and infrastructure resources in the best possible way and ensure effective learning.

2.4 Course Announcement: The institute shall announce the elective courses and specializations it proposes to offer the students out of the wider course basket. It is not mandatory to offer all the specializations and all the electives. The decision of the Director shall be final in this case. However, in the spirit of Choice Based Credit System, institutes should offer choices to the students for the elective courses and not offer only the minimum number of electives.

2.5 Course Registration: It is mandatory for every student, to register every semester, for the courses opted for that semester. Each student, on admission shall be assigned to a Faculty Advisor who shall advise her/him about the academic programs and counsel on the choice of courses considering the student’s profile, career goals and courses taken in the earlier semesters. With the advice and consent of the Faculty Advisor, the student shall register for a set of courses he/she plans to take up for the Semester. Students shall have to register for the courses for the semester within first week of Semester I and immediately after conclusion of the preceding term for subsequent Semesters II, III and IV.

As per Subject Core / Subject Elective Pattern

4.1 Course Types 4.1.1 Foundation Course: These courses focus on developing the basic abilities that support the understanding of

other courses. 4.1.2 Core courses are the compulsory courses for all the students. Core courses are of two types: Generic Core &

Subject Core. 4.1.3 Generic Core: This is the course which should compulsorily be studied by a candidate as a core requirement to

complete the requirement of a degree in a said discipline of study. Therefore, Generic Core courses are mandatory and fundamental in nature. These courses cannot be substituted by any other courses. Such courses are also known as Hard Core Courses.

4.1.4 Subject Core: A Core course may be a Subject Core if there is a choice or an option for the candidate to choose from a broad category (grouping) of subjects (specializations / electives). These are also known as Soft Core Courses.

4.1.5 Elective Course: Elective course is a course which can be chosen from a pool of courses. It may be: a) Very Specialized or advanced course focusing on a specific aspect b) Supportive to the discipline of study c) Providing an extended scope d) Enabling an exposure to some other discipline/domain e) Nurturing candidate’s proficiency/skills.

4.1.6 Generic Elective: An elective course which is common across disciplines / subjects is called a generic elective. ‘Generic Elective’ courses develop generic proficiencies amongst the students.

4.1.7 Generic Elective – University Level: These elective courses are supportive to the discipline of study and focus on the knowledge aspect of competence building. The course outcomes for such courses can be better assessed through traditional End Semester Evaluation.

4.1.8 Generic Elective – Institute Level: These elective courses are aimed to develop inter-personal, technical and other skills aspect of competence building. The course outcomes for such courses can be better assessed through Comprehensive Concurrent Evaluation.

4.1.9 Subject Elective: A ‘Discipline (specialization) centric’ elective is called ‘Subject Elective.’ Subject Elective courses, in the Semester II, III and IV are focused on a specialization.

4.1.10 Open Elective: A subject elective course chosen generally from another Discipline / specialization / subject, with an intention to seek cross-functional exposure is called an Open Elective. A Subject Elective offered in one specialization area may be treated as an Open Elective by another specialization area and vice-a-versa.

4.1.11 Enrichment Course: This is a course generally offered to bright learners / fast learners for advanced inputs beyond the curriculum. Enrichment / Add-on Course shall be a 1 Credit Course. The course is of the nature of Course of Independent Study (CIS) and is designed for learners who have the ability and inclination to work independently with limited guidance, supervision and interaction with the faculty member(s).

4.1.12 Alternative Study Credit Courses: These courses prepare the learners for a VUCA (Volatile Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) world by going beyond the boundaries of their campus. Apart from core and elective courses, these courses engage students in discussion, debate and solution of real world challenges.

4.1.13 Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)2: Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are such online courses which are developed as per the pedagogy stated in the AICTE regulation (2016) or equiavelent; following the four quadrant approach and made available on the SWAYAM platform of Government of India.
