BANGALORE: Even as Delhi University's four-year undergraduate programme is mired in controversy, Bangalore University (BU) is the first in the state to introduce Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) in all its UG and integrated masters degree programmes. BU has made it clear it will apply only for students entering BU-affiliated colleges from this year (2014-15).
Like the Delhi varsity programme, this system has multiple exits too. A student enters the UG programme after class 12. The special feature is, after completion of two years of the UG course, the student can exit the programme, and the university will award an associate degree certificate (advanced diploma). If the student wishes to pursue the third year and exit, a regular degree certificate is given. A student who wants to obtain an honours degree has to complete the fourth year (first year of postgraduate programme). This new system also allows students to study all five years and walk away with a Masters certificate.
The advantage of CBCS is, after completion of the second year, students can exit any programme in any year and rejoin whenever they want. For instance, a student who exits with an associate degree certificate and wants to obtain a regular degree certificate after a gap of one or five years, can directly join the third year.
