Calcutta University is considering to introduce Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) at postgraduate level from the next academic year.
The university authorities have called a meeting on 8 November to discuss the problematic aspects of introducing CBCS at postgraduate level. Dean and faculty members of postgraduate board of studies will be attending the meeting with the vice-chancellor and pro-vice-chancellor to examine the process for implementing CBCS. The university has already implemented CBCS in undergraduate level in its affiliated colleges but the students need more clarification about the system.
