ABOUT THE COLLEGE

Tyagbir Hem Baruah College came into existence in the realm of higher education in Jamugurihat on July 16, 1963 as a result of noble endeavours of a few torch bearers with enormous support from hundreds of enlightened minds from the locality in their own capacity, guided by the ideals of optimism, courage and sacrifice. At the time of inception, the college was named as ''Jamuguri College'' which later on renamed after the famous freedom fighter Tyagbir Hem Baruah as per decision of the Executive Committee of the college on February 8, 1965. The college started its journey from Jamuguri Higher Secondary School to Bapuji Bhawan and finally to its present campusat Kusumtola (Karchantola) where on the auspicious day of February 5, 1964 the foun- dation stone of the permanent building of the college was laid by the then Education Minister of Assam Late Debakanta Baruah amidst peace, tranquillity and serene beauty of nature. The col- lege has presently a sprawling campus of about 30 acres of land with natural wetlands, converted to fish farms by the Alumni Association of the college. There is a botanical garden with fruit bearing trees and quiet a large numbers medicinal plants and valuable timber woods. The tea garden of the college under "Seuj Udyug" scheme, the first of its kind in any college in the entire Brahmaputra Valley started with the aim of generating resources for making the college self- reliant to some extent. The college received its Deficit Grants-in-aid of the University Grant Commission (UGC) in 1974. With major development like introduction of science stream in 1989, the college completed its glorious journey of 50 years in 2013.

The college which was once started with a few students is presently offering various courses to nearly 2500 students. The college was started with seven departments viz. English, Assamese, Economics, Education, History and Political Science at both intermediate and undergraduate level. New departments like Statistics, Mathematics, Geography, Nepali were also introduced later to cater to growing needs of students. There is constant effort by the authority now to introduce the Commerce stream which was once introduced but later on abandoned in 1996 owing to some technical difficulties. The college has undergone assessment by National Assesment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) two times first in 2004 and later in 2011. On the first assess- ment the college was accredited with the grade C+ while in the next the college was accreditated with Grade - B.

Besides imparting knowledge to the students, the college is contributing a bit towards social and economic upliftment of the community. The real strength of the college lies in the faculty members who have been demonstrating variety of skills and knowledge for years and tirelessly working towards illumination of the young minds of the locality for greater social change.

The college has a number of societies, like Economic Planning Forum, Women Cell, Geographi- cal Society, Education Society, Political Science Forum, Biological Society, TRIDHARA (a lliterary society of depts. of Nepali, English and Assamese of the college) etc. to conduct differ- ent activities of academic and social importance. Holding of national or state level seminars/ symposium/training programs on areas of greater social importance is a regular exercise of almost all departments of the college aiming at benefiting the fraternity of the college and the local community. The works undertaken by NSS cell, UGC extension cell and the Women cell of the college are stupendously working in this regard. The Career Guidance & Counselling Cell (CGCC) extends all moral support to needy students and career guidance to all students by regularly organizing various talks on emerging career options in the presenttimes. NCC is a vital organ of the college. Under NCC the college has been successfully training and grooming hun- dreds of students since its introduction in the college which finally helped the students to grab recruitment in ARMY, NAVY and AIR FORCES of the Country. The Tyagbir Hem Baruah College wing of the Bharat Scout and Guide which was inaugurated in 2003 is also rendering its services to the college and community. Hundreds of girls and boys from this rural college have been groomed into responsible citizens and dedicated social workers under Scout and Guide.Of late, all departments regularly hold parents’ meet and departmental alumni meet to furhter strenthen it’s networks and identify areas of intervention towards overall development of the college.

DEGREE LEVEL COURSE (Undergraduate)

From this academic session i.e. 2019-2020 the present credit based semester system will be replaced by the Choice Based Credit System (popularly called as CBCS) which is more learner centric and provides students with autonomy in deciding courses as per their choice and pace of learning.

A few specific points relating to CBCS have been summarised below. For details please go through the Regulation of the Under Graduate Choice Based Credit System (UGCBCS), Gauhati University available on GU website.

The courses to be offered under CBCS are categorised as Core Courses, Elective Courses or Ability Enhancement Courses.

A. Core Courses (CC): A core course is a course that has to be compulsorily studied. A student pursuing BA or BSc with honours will have to take up 14 core courses, each of 6 credits and the student pursuing BA or BSc regular (earlier General or Pass Course) will need to take up 12 core courses each again of 6 credits. [Credit here refers to 1 Credit= 1 Theory/Tutorial period of one hour duration or 1 Credit= 1 Practical period of two hours duration]

B. Elective Courses (EC): An elective course is to be chosen by the student from a pool of such courses on offer will be restricted in initial years and are of three types:

B.1 Discipline Specific Elective Course (DSEC): It is an elective course offered by the main discipline. A student enrolled in BA/BSc degree program with honours will have to earn 24 course credits from DSEC. While a student in non-honours BSc degree program will have to earn 36 credits from DSEC, the requirement for students in non-honours BA/BCom degree program is 24 credits from DSECs. PROSPECTUS 2020-21/ Page-22 THB COLLEGE

B.2 Generic Elective Course (GEC): A GEC is a course offered by an unrelated discipline and has the objective of broadening the academic experience of a student. A student enrolled in UG degree program viz. BA/BSc with honours can acquire 24 course credits from GECs. Please note GECs are not available to students in non-honours UG Science program while other non-honours UG programmes require students to take up to such courses.

B.3 Dissertation/Project: All students enrolled in an UG degree program (both Honours and Non-honours) will have the option of choosing to undertake project/disserta- tion work for 6 credits in lieu of a 6 credit DSEC in the fifth semester only.

B.4 Ability Enhancement Courses (AEC): AEC which are to be taken up by stu- dents in an UG program will be of two types:

B.4.1 Ability Enhancement Compulsory Courses (AECC): These 4 credit courses are mandatory for every student enrolled in UG degree program. A student will have to take up 4 credit course in Environmental Science and a second 4 credit course in English Com- munication/MIL Communication.

B.4.2 Skill Enhancement Courses (SEC): These are value based courses and there will be pool of courses on offer. A student enrolled in an UG degree program with honours will have to take up a minimum of two SEC course of 4 credits each. For stu- dents enrolled in non-Honours UG degree program the credit requirements from SECs will be 16 credits. These SECs will be offered from the University Grants Commission (UGC) list or will be prepared by the college depending local requirement which will be offered with prior approval of the affiliating University.

Following points are to be understood to have complete knowledge about the grading system.

(a) Credit: A unit by which course work is measured. It determines the number of hours of instructions required per week. One credit is equivalent to one hour of teaching/tutorial or two hours of practical per week. (b) Letter Grade: It is an index of the performance of students in a course. Grades are denoted by O, A+, A, B+, B, C, P and F. (c) Grade point: It is numerical weight alloted to each letter grade on a 10-point scale. (d) Credit point: It is the product of grade point and number of credits for a course.

Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA): It is the measure of performance of work done in a semester. It is the ratio of total credit points secured by a student in various courses registered in a semester and the total course credits taken during that semester. It shall expressed up to two decimal places. × SGPA (Sj)= Sum (Cij Gij)/ Cij th where Sj= SGPA of the j semester th th Cij= number of credits for the i course of the j semester th Gij = grade point obtained by the student in the ith course of the j semester. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA): It is a measure of overall cumulative per formance of a student over all semesters. It is the ratio of sum of product of the SGPA of each semester and the respective credits earned divided by the total cred its earned in the programme.

CGPA = SUM (Cj Sj)/SUM Cj. Where, Cj=credits earned in semester j, Sj= SGPA in semester j, C =Total credits earned in the programme.
