Government Degree College , Kandaghat , Distt. Solan - 173215 (H.P) (Affiliated to Himachal Pradesh University, Shimla) PROSPECTUS 2021-2022

BRIEF PROFILE Government Degree College, Kandaghat, established in the year 2016, offers undergraduate courses in the fields of Humanities and Commerce. The town of Kandaghat, where this college is situated, is of historical importance as the Late Maharaja Bhupinder Singh, the ruler of Patiala state, came from Shimla and built his first Palace at Kandaghat. During pre-independence days, Kandaghat used to be known as 'Kohistan'.

College had a humble beginning in the year 2016 in one of the properties vested in the Government of Himachal Pradesh, which was originally the residence of Raja Dhaulpur, a palace constructed by Maharaja Patiala , Yadvindra Singh. This palace used to be the seat of the Deputy Commissioner and the Superintendent of Police and also the summer capital of the princely state of Patiala. After independence this town became a part of the erstwhile PEPSU state( Patiala and East Punjab State Union).

The original building of the college has always rendered services to the people of the region as it was earlier used for the purpose of hospital and then housed the office of the Sub-Divisional Magistrate. The building was also converted into a Food Testing Laboratory for a short period of time. Subsequently, as the need for college was felt, this building again opened its arms and was notified as Government Degree College in December 2015. The foundation stone of the college was laid on December 30,2016 by the then Chief Minister, Late Shri Virbhadra Singh. The Institution is located on the lush green hill known as Sirinagar. The institution provides every possible medium for academic, moral and intellectual growth of the students in the socio- cultural sphere.

CHOICE BASED CREDIT SYSTEM (CBCS) HP University switched over from the RUSA CBCS to the UGC CBCS from the session 2016-17 with a view to improve quality of education and the employability of the workforce. A candidate shall have to undergo the prescribed courses of study in a period not less than three years and maximum of five years from the date of admission. A candidate will not be allowed more than three attempts to pass a course from the session 2018-19. Himachal Pradesh University has recommended UGC guidelines of CBCS for all colleges of the state. For more information a student can visit UGC website www.ugc.ac.in. The CBCS allows students to choose from the prescribed courses comprising Core Courses, Elective, Generic and Skill based courses. The courses will be evaluated following the grading system, which will form Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) to be awarded to the students.

OUTLINE OF CHOICE BASED CREDIT SYSTEM

As per the recommendations of the Committee constituted by the Government , it was decided by the authorities that the Semester system in the UG classes be changed to Annual system from the Academic session 2018-2019. The UnderGraduate (Three year Degree Course) Programme in a college affiliated to H.P. University will comprise of the following categories of courses: Core Courses (CC) Discipline Specific Courses (DSC) Discipline Specific Elective (DSE) Ability-Enhancement Compulsory Courses (AECC) Skill-Enhancement Elective Courses (SEC) Generic Elective Courses (GE)

1. CORE COURSE: A course which 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. Discipline Specific Elective (DSE) Course: Elective courses offered under the main discipline/ subject of study are referred to as Discipline Specific Elective. 3. ABILITY ENHANCEMENT COURSES: The Ability Enhancement Courses are of two kinds: (i) Ability Enhancement Compulsory Course (AECC) (ii) Skill Enhancement Course (SEC). ⮚ AECC Courses are the courses based upon the content that leads to knowledge enhancement. These are mandatory for all disciplines. Courses to be studied under this are as follows: (i) Environmental Science (ii) English/Hindi/MIL. ⮚ SEC/AEEC Courses are value based and/or skill based, aimed at providing hands-on-training designed to competencies, skills etc. These courses may be chosen from a pool of courses to provide value based and/or skill based knowledge.

4. GENERIC ELECTIVE COURSE: An Elective course chosen from an unrelated discipline/subject, with an intention to seek exposure beyond discipline/s of choice is called a Generic Elective. The purpose of this course is to offer the students an option to explore disciplines of interest beyond the choices they make in Core and Discipline Specific Courses. The Generic Elective (GE) offered to the students will be other than the two Discipline Specific Courses (DSC) already in study by the student.

College is offering Generic Elective course in the following subjects: Music (V) Economics Sociology

3 Political Science English History CREDIT DETERMINATION

A student will have to earn 132 credits for Degree in Arts/ Commerce/ Science. Further, Degree in Humanities / Commerce would be awarded if a student completes 4 Core papers each in two Core Courses of choice 2 Core papers each in English and Hindi respectively(Compulsory for all) 2 Ability Enhancement Compulsory Courses (AECC) (compulsory for all) Minimum 4 Skill Enhancement Courses (SEC) 2 Paper each in 2 selected courses of choice (DSE) 2 papers from the list of Generic Elective (GE) papers.

CREDITS The term 'Credit' refers to the weightage given to a course, usually in terms of the number of instructional hours per week assigned to it. This explains why 'credit' is usually taken to mean 'credit hours'. For the purpose of credit determination, instruction is divided into three components: ● LECTURES (L) – classroom lectures of one hour duration ; ● TUTORIALS (T) – Special, elaborate instructions on specific topics (From Lecture) of one hour duration ● PRACTICALS(P) – Laboratory or field exercises of two hour duration. Each one of these components is considered as equal to one credit. One Lecture (L) or one Tutorial (T) of one hour a week is considered as one credit, whereas one Practical(P) of two hours a week is considered as one credit. The total weightage given to a course in terms of credits will be equal to L + T + P, where L is the number of one hour Lectures per week, T is the number of tutorials per week, and P is the number of two hour Practicals per week. This can be written in symbols as: C = L + T + P Where, C is the credit weightage for a particular course.

ClassRoom Attendance Incentive Students having attendance less than 75% shall not be eligible to appear in the Final exam. Those having attendance greater than or equal to 75% (for participation in co- curricular activities, 25% will be added) will be awarded CCA marks as follows: ⮚ 75% to 80% 1 mark ⮚ 81% to 85% 2 marks ⮚ 86% to 90% 3 marks ⮚ 91% to 95% 4 marks ⮚ 96% and above 5 marks Note: It will be compulsory for all the students to take the Mid Term Test and obtain minimum 35% marks in the Internal Assessment (IA).
