Detailed Credit Distribution Structure for
B.A./B.Com./BBA/B.Sc./BCA
The
term ‘credit’ refers to the weightage given to a course, usually in
terms of the number of instructional hours per week assigned to it. This
explains why usually ‘credit’ is taken to mean ‘credit hours’. The
credits also determine the volume of course contents and delivery of Course
such as lectures, tutorials, practicals, assignments etc.
For the
purpose of credit determination, instruction is divided into three components:
·
Lectures
(L)-Classroom
lectures of one- hour duration.
· Tutorials(T)-Special,elaborateinstructionsonspecifictopics(fromLectures)ofone-hourduration.
·
Practicals (P)-Laboratoryorfieldexercisesinwhichthestudenthastodoexperimentsorotherpracticalworkoftwo-hourduration.
Each one of these components is considered
as equal to one credit hour. One lecture (L) as well as one Tutorial (T)
of one hour a week is considered as one credit, whereas one Practical (P)
of two hours a week is considered as one credit. The total weightage given to a
course in terms of credits will be equal to L+P/T, where L is the
number of one hour Lectures per week, T is the number of one hour
Tutorials per week, and P is the number of two hours Practical per week.
This can be written in symbols as: C = L + P/T Where, C is the
credit weightage for a particular course.
