With just a few months left for its four-year degree programmes to take off, the Mahatma Gandhi University (MGU), Kottayam, is all set to begin the final screening of its draft syllabus for the new courses.
According to the varsity authorities, the scrutiny of the draft syllabus prepared by the subject experts for the various study programmes will begin on January 31. As many as 48 screening committees, comprising subject experts, outcome based learning experts, heads of the postgraduate and undergraduate study boards and so on, have been constituted to scrutinise the syllabus for the 56 degree programmes.
The screening committee will asses each paper for its content, potential for skill development, and method of learning assessment. The final evaluation will be done according to the nature of each subject, as different from the existing uniform examination system. While some subjects will have just practical examinations, the assessment of some others will be done without examination.
