PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

About Credit System :- The total minimum credit for the M.A Programme will be 64 and for M Sc. programme will be 66. The students are required to clear a minimum of 12 credits in a semester and to obtain the minimum pass grade for registering to the next semester. B- is required for a pass in each course. Each department will decide the number of core courses and elective courses in each discipline. Two of the elective courses will be Multidisciplinary. Multidisciplinary course I must be chosen from any of the Sanskrit Departments and course II from any other department. A student can take additional electives if he/ she desires. In each semester, student have to register for the elective courses from disciplines other than parent discipline within 10 days of commencement of the semester. More details in this regard can be obtained from the MA/MSc Regulation 2019 published in the University website www.ssus.ac.in.

A combination of the internal and the external evaluation is followed in the system. 50% of the credits will be for internal evaluation and the other 50% will be for the end- semester examination conducted by the University.

Evaluation and grading will be based on the 9 point grading system.

A+ 9 B+ 6 C+ 3 F O

A 8 B 5 C 2

A- 7 B- 4 C- 1

An average of B- (B minus) is the minimum pass grade. If a student fails in a course ie; if he/she gets ‘F’ then he/she should pursue that course again when it is offered subsequently. There will be no supplementary examination.

ii) Master of Social Work

The Department of Social Work is established in 1995 and belongs to the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Department offers post graduate programme in Social work (MSW). The Social Work programme offers interdisciplinary academic and research possibilities that critically opens up local and global discourses on health,

10 development and marginalization, gender, and family, identity, rights and justice. The field practicum component, which is an integral part of the MSW curriculum, offers opportunities for the students to spend time in close proximity with communities, NGOS and various social movements. Such close association lays the foundation for critical and alternative perspectives on one‘s own society. The course thus will provide the students with strong theoretical underpinnings and expose them to the dynamics and complexities of the social world.

The Social Work discipline and profession aims at planning and implementation of social policies, services and programmes needed to meet basic human needs and to support the development of human capacities and abilities. It facilitates change (1) within the individual in relation to his/her social environment; (2) of the social environment in its effect upon the individual; (3) of both the individual and social environment in their interaction. The ultimate aim of social work is to promote or restore a mutually beneficial interaction ‗inter‘, ‗intra‘ individual, and society in order to improve the quality of life for everyone.

The social work training and profession, despite having an existence of more than seventy five years in the country has progressed at snail‘s pace. It is still a yet to be developed profession and only very little effort has been made to make it indigenous or Indian. The profession still holds the theoretical and practical foundations of the west and has not made appropriate Indian adaptations. The picture is same in the context of Kerala and people consider it an alien profession. Hence an effort to acculturate and adapt the modern professional concepts and practices of social work to be conversant with the diverse socio-cultural and political realities of South Asia is a long pending plea and needs a pioneering initiation and continuous effort. At Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit we are committed to nurturing an ever evolving discipline which is sensitive to the indigenous knowledge production, and at the same time open to the global initiatives in this area.

The Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit was initiated and formed for the preservation and promotion of social and cultural heritage of India in general and Kerala in specific. The methodological approach was Interdisciplinary collaboration and indigenization of the traditional and modern theoretical and academic discourses in knowledge generation and dissemination for the betterment of the society. The sociological and geopolitical ecology around the University is of a rural village inhabited by the middle and working class people. The Department makes use of all opportunities in engaging various extension activities in and around the campus. The post graduate programme offered by the Department (MSW) is recognized by the social work accreditation councils of UK, USA, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Our students get their recognitions and accreditations in these countries on the basis of the verification of the course modules they have done in the University and the field practicum they have done here in the programmes. There are a number of students who have got their professional career in social work in these countries and some of them also pursue their higher education programmes on the basis of the PG programmes offered by our department.

M.S.W programme consists of four semesters under OBTLE Scheme. There is internal and external evaluation. The curriculum consists of theory classes, field work, practical training, seminars, rural camps, study tours, dissertation etc. The general subjects of the course are:

1) Social Science perspectives and theories
