*As per UGC Curriculum and Credit Framework for Undergraduate Programmes ( https://www.
ugc.ac.in/e-book/FYUGP/mobile/index.html), a one credit of tutorial work means one-hour
engagement per week. In a semester of 15 weeks duration, a one credit tutorial in a course is
equivalent to 15 hours of engagement.
A one credit course in practicum or lab work, community engagement and services, and field work
in a semester means two-hour engagement per week. In a semester of 15 weeks duration, a one
credit practicum in a course is equivalent to 30 hours of engagement.
The proposed number of credits per course and the credit distribution are suggestive and the HEIs
may decide on course credits and distribution over 6/8 semesters in a manner that will facilitate the
students to meet the minimum credit requirements.
