Abstract

This study was conducted on a stratified convenience sample of 500 students at RG Kedia Colleges, ST.Mary`s Group of Institutions and Osmania University Campus Hyderabad from November to December 2012, for the purpose of making an empirical evaluation of students` perceptions on CBCS system . The principal Null Hypothesis was that students do not perceive the CBCS system as a mechanism for enhancement of learning and career development. Data analysis disproved this Hypothesis. It was also found that female students understand the CBCS system better than male students and are readily willing for a change over from the next academic year itself. At the end the study makes useful recommendations for policy making on CBCS system for colleges in India or abroad.

Key words: choice based credit system, Course flexibility, Inter-disciplinary approach, workload distribution, testing and evaluation, employability. (more…)
