Tamilnadu State Council for Higher Education

State Integrated Boards of Studies Preamble*

In keeping with the announcement of the Honorable Minister for Higher Education (Policy Note 6.3 2013-2014, Department of Higher Education, Government of ), with the view to provide compatibility in courses offered by various universities, autonomous colleges & deemed universities in Tamil Nadu facilitating the mobility of faculty and students from one university to another and to easily solving the problem of equivalence among courses, Tamil Nadu State Council for Higher Education (TANSCHE) has formed the State Integrated Boards of Studies comprising experts in the areas of knowledge concerned. The State Integrated Boards of Studies, with great diligence and expertise has devised the mandatory areas that have to be covered for three year undergraduation and two year postgraduation courses to realize the above objectives. Great care has been taken so that these areas would take 75% of the course content and the remaining 25% can be decided by the individual institutions. In other words, the areas that have to be covered by the student that are mandatory for earning the degree to have due value has been worked out so that the student will gain enough depth of knowledge in the subject concerned. It is recommended that the institutions specify in their brochures if the course is equivalent or not so that the stakeholder could opt for the course offered with enough awareness about the future possibilities of deciding on the course. The State Integrated Boards of Studies1 have striven their best to see that the standards of higher education in our State are raised to be on a par with international standards.

1 *Note: It is stated that it is not a compulsion on the part of any educational institution in the State to follow State Integrated Board of Studies. However, if the subjects are to be equivalent, Section 'A' must be covered in the 75% of the syllabus of the subjects concerned. 1

State Integrated Board of Studies – History UG

Section A (Mandatory Areas) of each course is mandatory and the areas given must be covered in the 75% of the syllabus to make the course equivalent. 25% percent of the syllabus should be designed by the institutions, and the areas covered under this also must have a weightage of 25%. Possible areas for this 25% are suggested in Section B (Suggested Non mandatory Areas). This gives the individual universities and autonomous institutions seamless liberty to innovate and experiment, and more importantly, it is here that the institutions must devise appropriate strategies by which (i) to make creative and critical applications of what has been learnt in the mandatory components, and (ii) to meaningfully connect the learners to the career demands and expectations. It is essential that the theoretical subject knowledge of the students must be translated into practical hands-on experience.
