Undergraduate Programme Secretariat Preamble The University Grants Commission (UGC) has initiated several measures to bring equity, efficiency and excellence in the Higher Education System of country. The important measures taken to enhance academic standards and quality in higher education include innovation and improvements in curriculum, teaching-learning process, examination and evaluation systems, besides governance and other matters. The UGC has formulated various regulations and guidelines from time to time to improve the higher education system and maintain minimum standards and quality across the Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) in India. The academic reforms recommended by the UGC in the recent past have led to overall improvement in the higher education system. However, due to lot of diversity in the system of higher education, there are multiple approaches followed by universities towards examination, evaluation and grading system. While the HEIs must have the flexibility and freedom in designing the examination and evaluation methods that best fits the curriculum, syllabi and teaching–learning methods, there is a need to devise a sensible system for awarding the grades based on the performance of students.

  • Somdatta Mandal 2015
    THE HANDBOOK OF REVIEWS Somdatta Mandal 2015 1 Foreword I have been reviewing books for the last two decades. Some of them have been commissioned for newspapers and meant for the average reader whereas others have been published in national and international journals and aimed at more erudite academic readership. The lengths of the reviews also vary. Some are pretty short whereas others run into the length of an essay. The subject matter of the books reviewed is also wide ranging, beginning from popular fiction to serious academic deliberations. It includes fiction, anthologies, memoirs, biographies, criticism, books on cinema, on Tagore and other miscellaneous topics as well. Compiling all these reviews together in one volume under eight sub-topics has brought out the amazing diversity of the books reviewed. Apart from the sheer number, I have learnt a lot from the different subjects covered and I hope that the reader will find these reviews interesting as well.
