Abstract

The (CBCS) system is an assessment method used in collegiate Education Programmes such as under graduation and post graduation courses of advanced Education in India. The UGC introduced the CBCS in India in 2015. This system aims to improve the academic learning among students and teachers. Further, it opens the ways and means for students to move across institutions inside India. It is a modern grading system which replaces conventional marks system and approach. The present method of teaching learning process provides better platforms to evaluate courses and choose an option from a list of elective, core and soft skill courses. To be precise, it is a student-centric approach in learning of higher education. The ancient evaluation system of university education in India did not pave the way to offer much scope to the learners, because the learning contents were predefined, redundant and not upgraded as per the modern pedagogical trends. These traditional isolated courses lacked contemporary appropriateness that made a way to introduce the current evaluation method all over India.
