University to conduct exit survey on Choice Based Credit System
Modifications in syllabus after students’ feedback:
Vice-Chancellor
- Opinion to be ascertained from a mix of rural,
urban students
- University to prepare common question pattern
for colleges
Madurai: An ‘exit survey’ of university/ college
students will be undertaken by the Madurai Kamaraj University
(MKU) to evaluate the implementation of Choice Based Credit
System (CBCS). The State Government has made CBCS mandatory
for all undergraduate and postgraduate courses from 2008-09.
R. Karpaga Kumaravel, Vice-Chancellor, told Academic Council
members on Wednesday that any modification in syllabus could
be made after getting proper feedback from students because
“they will be the best judges to say about CBCS.”
A special meeting of the Academic Council was convened to approve
the revised syllabus prepared in tune with the Government norms
on CBCS.
“I suggest that the Curriculum Development Cell can do
a follow up by conducting an exit evaluation at the end of a
semester. Based on the feedback, modifications can be made,”
Dr. Karpaga Kumaravel said.
According to him, a sample population of students from rural/urban
areas in Government, aided, self-financing and constituent colleges
of the university will be taken for evaluation.
The Vice-Chancellor’s observation came in reply to a discussion
initiated by K. Subburaj, Academic Council member, who said
that the MKU too must follow the University of Madras where
a high-level committee was being constituted to monitor smooth
implementation of CBCS. After a brief debate on how to avoid
hiccups in implementation, the house passed the syllabus for
all courses.
Dr. Karpaga Kumaravel also assured the Academic Council that
a common question paper pattern would be developed by the university
and sent to colleges. A couple of workshops would be organised
on curriculum implementation to sensitise teachers, he said.
