The Syllabus aims at introducing inventive and socially pertinent fundamentals of

historical knowledge to the students and revealing them to critical thinking and learning. It

has a societal character. History offers us the quintessence of human experience. History is

the gauge to record the advancement of mankind. It is a mode of transmission, dialogue,

interaction and inheritance of the past.

The main objective is to provide a global outlook and a secular orientation to the

students in the changing world. Also desired to enhance practical knowledge, widen

critical thinking and sharpen the intellect of the students. The new syllabus also laid

emphasis on wider possibilities of exposing them to job opportunities. Above all, the

course shall offer unlimited opportunities to students in future for instance in higher

studies, research, in the preparation of all competitive and related examinations.

The proposed B.A shall consist of 30 courses to be completed in 6 semesters. The

undergraduate programme consists of 16 Core Courses and 10 Common Courses and 4

Complementary Courses.

The new syllabus tagged on here is the result of a workshop conducted on..29th

February and 1st March, 2016. Teachers actively participated in the workshop and tendered

their valuable suggestions. The Board of Studies extremely thankful to all assisted in the

preparation of the syllabus.

TC is the Total Credit of that semester��, ∑ Ci�� , where n is the number of papers in that

semester


Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is calculated using the formula:-

CGPA = TCP/TC, where TCP is the Total Credit Point of that programme��, ∑ CPi�� ; TC is

the Total Credit of that programme, ie, ∑ Ci�� , where n is the number of papers in that

programme

Grade Point Average (GPA) of a Course (Common Course I, Common Course II,

course.

Grades for the different courses, semesters and overall programme are given based on the

corresponding CPA as shown below:
