Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts
This is a three-year programme spread over six semesters which leads to the degree of Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) or Bachelor of Arts (B.A. Honours in English). The Bachelor's Degree Programme in English is an innovative programme of the college. It aims to cultivate and nurture the love of literature, language, writing and composing. The college offers Honours in eleven subjects. The degree programme is a good launching pad for such students who wish to take an M.Sc./MA and/or a Ph.D. degree. This course is also ideally suited for students who want to take up career opportunities in teaching, research, civil/administrative services, etc.
Semester mode of teaching and examination in Indian universities has become a national policy. Consequently, the UGC has made it mandatory for all the institutions of higher learning and affiliated colleges in the country to follow this system. Another major recommendation of the national regulatory authorities has been to introduce Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) in tune with global trends and adoption of a sound grading system that reflects the learner's performance in the best possible way. The UGC has also been vocal on the need to 'pay urgent attention to curricular flexibility and learner's mobility.' Keeping all this in mind Kohima Science College has decided to introduce the CBCS. We believe this will assuage the constraints of pursuing pre-determined combinations of course to a certain level and offer the students opportunities and avenues to not only learn core subjects but also explore additional avenues of learning beyond the core subjects for holistic development of the student.
A minimum of six semesters (three years) and maximum ten semesters (five years) will be required for the successful completion of the course. The odd semesters (I, III, & V) shall be from July 1 to December 31. The even semesters (II, IV, & VI) shall be from January 1 to June 30. Each semester shall have class tests, internal assessment activities and end semester examinations with a weightage ratio of 30:70. In order to clear a semester the student has to secure a minimum of 40% marks in the internal assessments and 40% in the end semester examinations.
As per the college norms, a student having less than 80% attendance shall not be allowed to appear end semester examinations.
