BA/BSc with Honours and BA/BSc Regular (without Honours) programmes in the CBCS have courses spread across six-semesters. A typical semester comprises a minimum of 15 to 18 weeks of academic work that will translate into 90 actual teaching days. Two consecutive (one odd and one even) semesters make up an academic year. An undergraduate programme (BA/BSc) consists of six semesters covering three calendar Years.

Duration of the Odd Semesters (First, Third and Fifth)
June to November

The credits earned beyond the mandatory program requirement will not be taken into consideration in computation of the grade but will be recorded in the grade sheet.
