5 Central University of Haryana The Central University of Haryana, established by MHRD, under the Central Universities Act (Act No. 25 of 2009) made a spirited beginning under the leadership of its sagacious and visionary founder Vice Chancellor Prof. Mool Chand Sharma, from a rented building in Gurgaon as transit office and Narnaul B.Ed. college building as campus. It has now shifted to its Permanent Campus sprawling over 488 acres of land at Jant-Pali Villages, Mahendergarh district of Haryana. The University, fully funded by the UGC, is all set to emerge as a seat of great learning in the Southern Haryana under the leadership of its reverent and visionary Acting Vice- Chancellor Prof. U. P. Sinha. Being at the nascent stage of establishment, the University immediately after getting possession of the land at Jant-Pali, Mahendergarh acted through various empowered Committees and Groups to chart out the course of development. After duly considering the recommendations of various empowered committees the Executive Council of the University approved the road map for the first phase of development of the campus on the site at Jant-Pali, Mahendergarh. The first phase of development comprises the construction of boundary wall and a block of four buildings. The construction of boundary wall is complete and the four blocks are functional to run the academic programmes. These blocks host separate hostels for boys and girls, modest accommodation for faculty and other staff, academic wing with class rooms, seminar rooms, tutorial rooms, laboratories, libraries, conferencing facilities, etc. These buildings will be integrated as a part of hostel zone when the development of the Campus enters in the final phase. Marching ahead on the journey of promoting grass root research and fruitful engagement with society many brainstorming sessions of idea generation are held. After comprehensive deliberations University has adopted Multidisciplinary Approach to Inclusive Education as motto. 4

9 ORDINANCE RELATING TO PROGRAMMES LEADING TO THE AWARD OF POST GRADUATE DEGREES / DIPLOMAS 1. Definitions: 1.1 Course means a Semester course. 1.2 Credit (c) is the weightage assigned to a course in terms of contact hours. 1.3 Grade means a letter grade assigned to a student on the basis of evaluation of a course on a ten point scale. 1.4 Grade point (g) means the numerical equivalent of a letter grade assigned to a student in the ten point scale. 1.5 Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) means the grade point average of a student for a semester calculated in the following manner: SGPA = (g 1 xc 1) +(g 2 xc 2 ) + (in respect of all courses for which the student has registered in the semester concerned) divided by the total number of credits offered by the student in the semester. 1.6 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) means a cumulative index grade point average of a student calculated in the following manner: CGPA = (g 1 xc 1 ) + (g 2 xc 2 ) + (in respect of all the courses for which the student has registered up to and including the semester for which the cumulative index is required) divided by the total number of credits offered by the student in the said courses. 1.7 Final Grade Point Average (FGPA) is the final index of a student at the time of award of a degree, calculated in the following manner: n FGPA = gi x ci i=1 n Where i=1 ci c i = credit in the i th course g i = grade point secured by the student in the i th course n = total number of courses prescribed for the student for the entire programme. 1.8 Final Grade is the letter equivalent assigned to a student on the basis of his/her FGPA at the time of the award of the degree. 2. Eligibility for admission: A candidate may be admitted to the Master s programme if he/she has obtained a Bachelor s degree under system recognized by the University, or a degree recognized as its equivalent, provided such a candidate has attained the minimum proficiency in the subject at the time of admission as decided by the University from time to time. 8

10 3. Semesters: 3.1 An academic year shall consist of two semesters, viz.:odd semester and Even semester. 3.2 Ordinarily an Odd semester shall extend from July to December, and an Even semester from January to May. 3.3 A semester normally extends over a period of 15 weeks, each week having 30 hours of instruction spread over a week. 4. Type of courses: Each programme may have three types of courses, viz. core courses, elective courses and self-study-courses Core courses: Core courses are those, knowledge of which is deemed essential for students registered for a particular Master s programme. Where feasible and necessary, two or more programmes may prescribe one or more common core courses Core courses shall be mandatory for all students registered for that Master s programme Core courses shall be spread over all the semesters of the programme. 4.2 Elective courses: Elective courses are intended to: allow students to specialize in one or more branches of the broad subject area; or acquire knowledge and skills in a related area that may have applications in the broad subject area; or bridge any gap in the curriculum and enable acquisition of essential skills (e.g. statistical, computational, language, communication skills, etc.); or help pursue an area of interest to the student. 4.3 Self-study courses: Self-study courses are optional, not mandatory. They are not taken into account for awarding grades Students may also choose 3 additional courses to enable them to acquire extra credits through self-study Self-study courses shall be in advanced topics in a course (core or elective) under the supervision of a faculty member. Note: A course (Core/Elective/Self-study) may also take the form of a Dissertation/ Project work/ Practical training/ Field work/ Internship/ Seminar, etc. 5. Credits: Credit defines the quantum of contents/syllabus prescribed for a course and determines the number of hours of instruction required per week. Thus, in each course, credits are assigned on the basis of the number of lectures/tutorials/laboratory work/field work and other forms of learning required completing the contents in a 15 week schedule. 2 hours of laboratory work/field work is generally considered equivalent to 1 hour of lecture. 9

11 1 credit = 1 hour of instruction per week (1 credit course = 15 hours of instruction per semester) 3 credits = 3 hours of instruction per week (3 credit course = 45 hours of instruction per week) A Core course may carry 3 to 4 credits; an elective/ Self-study will not normally carry more than 3 credits. However, a dissertation/ project work may carry up to 6 credits; a semester-long field work may carry credits. 6. Auditing: Students may be permitted by the individual faculty member at his/her discretion to audit two courses without assigning any credits. 7. Course numbering: Each course offered by a faculty/department is identified by a unique course code: e.g. SSS C 001 Eco 3003, where SSS stands for School of Social Sciences; C stands for core course; 001 stands for the serial number of the course; The figures 3,0,0,3 stand for credits attached to lectures (practical, if it is a practical course), tutorials, practical work (theory, if it is a practical course) and total number of credits for the course respectively. 8. Duration of programme: The minimum duration for completion of a one-year Post Graduate Diploma programme shall be two consecutive semesters (one odd and one even semester), for a two-year Master s programme in any subject shall be four consecutive semesters (two odd and two even semesters) and for a three-year Master s programme - six semesters, i.e. three odd and three even semesters. The maximum period for completion shall be four semesters, six semesters and eight semesters respectively. Provided that a semester or a year may be declared by the Academic Council zero semester or zero year in the case of a student if he/she could not continue with the academic work during that period due to illness and hospitalization, or due to accepting a foreign scholarship/fellowship, subject to fulfillment of requirements laid down in this respect by regulations. Such zero semester/year shall not be counted for calculation of the duration of the programme in case of such a student. 9.
