Set up with a special mission to empower young women through higher education, Bhagini Nivedita College has grown from strength to strength since its inception in 1993 and now has student strength of around 1500 pursuing an array of undergraduate courses.

BNC is always alive to the need for providing to the students a wholesome educational experience, which besides fulfilling their educational needs prepares them for life by involving them in a wide variety of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities.

Sister Nivedita: A brief Biography

Sister Nivedita (Margaret Elizabeth Noble) was born on October 28, 1867 in Northern Ireland. She got her early education in London and attended Halifax College where she studied subjects like physics, arts, music and literature. She embraced teaching at the age of seventeen and established a school in Wimbledon where she followed her own unique methods of teaching. She was a prolific writer and wrote for newspapers and periodicals and as a result, became a known name among the intellectuals of London

She attended the lectures of Swami Vivekananda in November 1895 in London and was inspired by his teachings. She responded to his call for playing a role in educating Indian women and arrived in Kolkata on January 28, 1898. Swami Vivekananda familiarised her with India’s history, philosophy, literature, social traditions and the life of the common masses. On March 25, 1898, Swami Vivekananda gave her the name "Nivedita", the dedicated one.

She toured England and America, gave lectures on India and raised funds to establish a girl’s school. On November 13, 1898, on the day of Kali Puja, she started the school in the Bagbazar area of Calcutta. The school was inaugurated by Sarada Devi. She also went from home to home to educate girls, in spite of the resistance from the male members of the family and the pitiable socio-economic condition of women. She taught history, geography, natural sciences and a little bit of English. She would also teach them sewing, drawing and handicrafts. She also encouraged them to take up physical exercises. She also gave special instructions to a few educated ladies in order to make them good teachers.

During the outbreak of plague epidemic in Kolkata in 1899, Sister Nivedita nursed and took care of the patients, cleaned rubbish from the area, and inspired and motivated many youths to render voluntary service. She also organised day-to-day activities, inspected the work being done and personally handed over written instructions about the preventive measures to be undertaken.

Sister Nivedita died on October 13, 1911, at the age of 43, in Darjeeling. Her memorial is located below the railway station on the way to the Victoria Falls of Darjeeling. In 1968, the Indian Government issued a postal stamp in her memory.

Introduction

Bhagini Nivedita College, a constituent college of the University of Delhi, was established by the Delhi Administration in August, 1993 as a ‘women’s college’. In October 1994, the College was named 'Bhagini Nivedita College' after Sister Nivedita, a disciple of Swami Vivekananda, who had dedicated her whole life for the education and betterment of Indian women.

Choice Based Credit System (CBCS)

The Indian Higher Education Institutions have been moving from the conventional annual system to semester system. Currently many of the institutions have already introduced the choice based credit system. The credit based semester system provides flexibility in designing curriculum and assigning credits based on the course content and hours of teaching. The choice based credit system provides an approach in which the students can take courses of their choice, learn at their own pace, undergo additional courses and acquire more than the required credits, and adopt an interdisciplinary approach to learning.

Courses in a programme are of three kinds: Core, Elective and Foundation.

Core Course: There may be a Core Course in every semester. This is the course which is to be compulsorily studied by a student as a core requirement to complete the requirement of a programme in a said discipline of study.

Elective Course: Elective course is a course which can be chosen from a pool of papers. An elective may be ‚Generic Elective‛ focusing on those courses which add generic proficiency to the students. An elective may be ‚Discipline centric‛or may be chosen from an unrelated discipline.

It may be:  Supportive to the discipline of study  Providing an expanded scope  Enabling an exposure to some other discipline/domain  Nurturing student’s proficiency/skill.

Foundation Course: The Foundation Courses may be of two kinds: Compulsory Foundation and Elective foundation. ‚Compulsory Foundation‛ courses are the courses based upon the content that leads to Knowledge enhancement. They are mandatory for all disciplines. Elective Foundation courses are value-based and are aimed at man-making education.
