CHANDRAPUR COLLEGE: A BRIEF PROFILE With a Higher Secondary School celebrated its centenary year in 2017, Chandrapur is an ancient hamlet under Saragram Panchayat of Katwa Block – I, Katwa Police Station and Sub Division in the District of Purba Barddhaman. Though mainly agrarian in their occupation, some of the people of this comparatively remote, backward locality came in contact with the enlightened world consequent to their engagement in different trade & business activities and other occupation/profession in the capital city of the state West Bengal. They felt an urge for the succeeding generations that they should be acquainted and equipped with enlightenment beyond rural complacency. This paved the way for establishment of Chandrapur College as a natural outcome.

Established in August 3rd 1985, on about 7 acres of land, the college formally began its humble career in the next year with the introduction of Arts General Stream Course having affiliation to The University of Burdwan. Affiliation of Commerce General Stream Course was availed of within two years. Commendable results in the Commerce Stream, later, led to the gradual affiliation of Honours Courses in Accountancy. Likewise the honours in Bengali, History, English, Geography, Philosophy, Sanskrit and Political Science is affiliated gradually. To keep pace with the growing demand among the students, affiliation of some profession oriented courses and subjects, viz., Mass Communication and Journalism (Hons.) has been introduced from 2016 -2017 academic session and the Education (Hons.) has been introduced from the academic session 2017-18.

Today, Chandrapur College is a flourishing institution with Honours teaching-learning facilities in as many as ten subjects including Commerce along with twelve General course subjects and Science Steam. Moreover, B.Sc. (General Course with Mathematics, Economics and Geography) is also on the move and the College is likely to introduce the B.Sc. (General Course with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics) from the ensuing session. Present student strength of the college is around 1789.

The college has successfully gone through the 1st cycle of assessment an accreditation by NAAC in the year 2016-2017 and hopefully attained the Grade-B (score – 2.21).

In the year 2018-19 the college successfully organized State Sports and games Championship for the Burdwan District and awarded runners up medal trophy participating at the State Meet.

Under the CBCS there are broadly two course structures i) Honours Course and ii) Regular/ General Course. The main components of the courses are as follows: 1. Core Course (CC) : A course, that should compulsorily be studied by a candidate as a core requirement, is termed as a core course. 2. Elective Course : Generally a course, which can be chosen from a pool of courses and which may be very specific or specialized or advanced or supportive to the discipline/ subject of study or which provides an extended scope or which enables an exposure to some other discipline/ subject/ domain or nurtures the candidate’s proficiency/ skill, is called an Elective Course. 1.1 Discipline Specific Elective (DSE) Course : A course, which is to be offered in the main discipline/ subject of study, is referred to as Discipline Specific Elective. This course is to advance knowledge and skill in the Core Course domain. 1.2 Generic Elective (GE) Course : An elective course, chosen generally from a subject of study other than Core Course(s) with an intention to seek a wide exposure, is called a Generic Elective Course. However, such Generic Elective (GE) Course will be chosen Streamwise i.e., BA/B.Sc./B,Com. by a student of Honours/General programme. In case of BA/B.Sc. Honours Programme, except Biotechnology (Hons.) & Biochemistry (Hons.), a student shall have to choose 4 Generic Electives strictly from 2 subjects of choice taking exactly two courses from each subject. Such a student shall have to study the curriculum of the GE of a subject specified for the relevant Semester. A student of Biotechnology (Hons.) / Biochemistry (Hons.) shall have to study Generic Electives specified in the respective syllabus. [For example, a candidate pursuing any Arts subject as core course, must opt for Generic Elective (GE) Course from amongst the subjects of Arts Stream available in a college.] In case of B.A. General Programme, a student shall have to choose 2 Generic Electives strictly from one particular subject which will be different from the core subjects including the core languages (L1 and L2). Such a student shall have to study the curricula of GE-1 & GE-2 of that subject in the 5th & 6th Semesters respectively. In case of B.Com. Honours/ General Programme, a student shall have to study Generic Electives specified in the respective syllabus. Stream-wise list of subjects is annexed herewith. N.B.- A core course, offered in a subject, is to be treated as an elective by other subject and such electives are to be referred to as Generic Elective. 1.3 Dissertation/Project: An elective course, designed to acquire special/ advanced knowledge, is termed as dissertation/ project. This is considered as a special course involving application of knowledge in solving/ analyzing / exploring a real life situation/ difficult problem. A dissertation/ project work will be of 6 credits. A dissertation/ project work may be given in lieu of a Discipline Specific Elective. 2. Ability Enhancement Courses (AEC) : The Ability Enhancement (AE) Courses are of two kinds- Ability Enhancement Compulsory Courses (AECC) and Skill Enhancement Course (SEC). 2.1 AECC: These are the courses based on the contents that lead to knowledge enhancement and consist of Environmental Studies (AECC – 1: Credits 4, marks- 100 divided into two parts – 80 marks for Theory and 20 marks for Project work) & Communicative English/ MIL (AECC – 2: credits 2, marks- 50). These are mandatory for all disciplines. 2.2 SEC: SEC are value- based and/ or skill- based and are aimed at providing handson-training, competency, skill, etc. These courses will be minimum 2 for Honours Programmes and 4 for General Programmes. These may be chosen from a pool of courses designed to provide value- based and/or 14

skill- based knowledge and would contain theory and practical/ hands-on-training/ field work. The purpose of these courses is to provide the students life-skill in hands-on-mode so as to increase their employability. 3. Practical/Tutorial: Every Core, Discipline Specific and Generic Elective Course will have one Practical/Tutorial. Wherever there is a practical, there will be no tutorial and vice- versa.
