From the Desk of the Principal
It is my soul’s glee to meet you through this page. I cordially welcome all new entrants and deem it my privilege to assure you all that you are indeed fortunate to pursue three years Undergraduate Programme / two years Post Graduate Programme from an Institution that does not compromise with academic quality, student discipline and safety. Since its inception in 1873 under the affiliation of Calcutta University, the College has strode strong achieving on the way of its colossal march CPE Status, Autonomous Status and Special Heritage Status as strong testimony to its academic elan. Withstanding all the blows and buffets on the way to its progress, the College got blaze of publicity by achieving ‘A+’, ‘A’ and ‘A+’Grade in three successive NAAC accreditations in 2004, 2012 & 2017. Needless to say, the College, now 149 years plus old, is proud to be one of the Higher Education Institutions of the Nation under RUSA (Rashtriya Uchhatara Siskha Aviyan). It is my pleasure not only as the Principal but also as an alumnus of this College that the College is going to complete 150 years of its meaningful existence and observe the sesquicentennial Jubilee on and from 30th January, 2022, the Mega Event of which you will be a witness. Apart from the coveted academic potential, what is commendable is the pioneering role of the College in spreading Higher Education and accelerating the Freedom Movement of the Country in Pre-Independent period. It is no exaggeration to say that the College then proved to be the breeding ground of a whole host of martyrs who bubbled with patriotism and bled for the Country. The past of the College bears their social commitment through a saga of selfless service and sacrifice which gives stimulus to our present students for further social linkage and commitment. This pioneering Govt. Sponsored academic Institution, now Autonomous, Midnapore College, is more inclined on the holistic growth of its students. The demography of students’ population bears the testimony to the commitment of the College for providing support services of different sorts. The College library is the cynosure of all academic activities. The students will immerse themselves in the great light of education emitting from it having more than 75,000 Text Books and commendable number of Reference Books & Journals. The wonderful glamour of the Library Reading Room will entice them to knowledge to be acquired from rare books and also from the Digital Library. Apart from text book knowledge in the class rooms,
the support services like N. C. Rana Sky Observation Centre, Midnapore College Centre for Scientific Culture, Ex-situ Medicinal Plants Garden, Language Laboratory for Spoken and Communicative English etc. would also provide them with extracurricular activities for their holistic development. Moreover, Games and Sports, Cultural Competitions, Quiz, Viva, Mock Parliament Competition and various other healthy practices would enhance their skill, personality and aptitude. The College Crest is the very epitome of the Institution’s vision. The Wheel stands for dynamism and the Vedic phrase ‘Yotir Gamaya’ in its English rendering means ‘Move Towards Light’. It is also quintessential to the true mission of the College so far as it shows how this temple of Higher Learning is bent on accrediting the process of modernization keeping the glorious past, the dynamic present and the luminous future in perfect poise. The College creates a congenial academic climate in the campus so that it can ensure the spontaneous and unhindered growth of the saplings towards the scintillating Sun, the very fountain of light connoting infinite knowledge and wisdom. To wind up, Midnapore College (Autonomous) wishes to make true citizens with proper learning and moral values and also cherishes that the students of this Institution of Heritage will be groomed and nourished to that end. May the blessings of God be showered on all the students who in future would glorify their Alma mater. Wishing all the best in future with every hope that the cruelest Covid-19 Pandemic crisis will be over and you all will be in the campus and the College will begin to buzz as it did before.

:: A SLICE OF HISTORY ::
Midnapore College has achieved Autonomous Status as a feather in the cap in 2014. The College has been accredited thrice by NAAC in 2004, 2012 and 2017 successfully. But the success has not come overnight. Success of the College like success of any institution has brought not only a battalion of followers but also a gaggle of detractors. The College has been stubborn enough not to surrender before the dissidents’ demand and has learnt how to tide over all adversities and vicissitudes as it has been doing since its inception in 1873. History is not a dead past; it is a quivering part of the present. The present conferment of Autonomous Status by the UGC from the Session 2014-2015 urges us to remember how Midnapore College sprouted from a tiny seed to a full grown plant with the plethora of academic promises by proliferating its boughs and branches into wider social connectivity along with its academic excellences and innovative researches.
The epic academic Odyssey started from the incipient stages of a private school in 1834, the Zilla School in 1840, a burgeoning College in 1873, a Govt. Sponsored College in 1956 and in 1985 the affiliation of the College changed from the University of Calcutta to Vidyasagar University. A host of sagacious teachers, proficient both in teaching and research, diligent and knowledge- ebullient students, committed and zealous non-teaching staff, much- coveted infrastructure, uniquely furnished Central Library, several academic opportunities, coupled with adequate support services brought the College to come to its one and only goal of becoming the premier Higher Education hub not only in the State of West Bengal but also in the Country. The College has got accolades for excellences but there is no berth of complacence. There is humility to acknowledge the fact that complacence of any sort is self- annihilating. The competence and the excellence of the students are our richest endowments. We are committed to creating a mind set for upholding the pristine glory of the College and carrying forward the good and golden legacy of our “Potential Knowledge Capital”. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
1. Education is not an end in itself but a means to an end. 2. The College tries to enable the students to compete and become successful in all competitive examinations. 3. To inculcate a sense of foresight into the fast changing future and to augment their abilities to meet the challenges ahead. 4. To prepare the students with advancement of learning for Higher Education. 5. To impart quality education to the students and help them flourish holistically. 6. To foster a sense of ideal citizenship with rich moral content and astute social commitment. 7. To administer in the Students a spirit to make a corruption free India. 8. To groom Students for excellent personality and nourish in them leadership quality. 9. To motivate the Students for research activities. 10. To emphasise community based programmes and work on burning social issues.

OUTLINES OF CHOICE BASED CREDIT SYSTEM
1. INTRODUCTION: The University Grants Commission (UGC) has initiated several measures to bring equity, efficiency and excellence in the Higher Education System of country. The important measures taken to enhance academic standards and quality in higher education include innovation and improvements in curriculum, teaching-learning process, examination and evaluation systems, besides governance and other matters. The UGC has formulated various regulations and guidelines from time to time to improve the higher education system and maintain minimum standards and quality across the Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) in India. The academic reforms recommended by the UGC in the recent past have led to overall improvement in the higher education system. However, due to lot of diversity in the system of higher education, there are multiple approaches followed by universities towards examination, evaluation and grading system. While the HEIs must have the flexibility and freedom in designing the examination and evaluation methods that best fits the curriculum, syllabi and teaching–learning methods, there is a need to devise a sensible system for awarding the grades based on the performance of students. Presently the performance of the students is reported using the conventional system of marks secured in the examinations or grades or both. The conversion from marks to letter grades and the letter grades used vary widely across the HEIs in the country. This creates difficulty for the acadamia and the employers to understand and infer the performance of the students graduating from different universities and colleges based on grades. The grading system is considered to be better than the conventional marks system and hence it has been followed in the top institutions in India and abroad.
So it is desirable to introduce uniform grading system. This will facilitate student mobility across institutions within and across countries and also enable potential employers to assess the performance of students. To bring in the desired uniformity, in grading system and method for computing the cumulative grade point average (CGPA) based on the performance of students in the examinations, the UGC has formulated these guidelines.
What is Choice Based Credit System (CBCS)? • A “cafeteria” type approach in which the students can – take courses of their choice, – learn at their own pace, – undergo additional courses, – acquire more than the required credits, and – adopt an interdisciplinary approach to learning.
PROSPECTUS AND ACADEMIC CALENDAR 2021 - 2 0 2 2 Page 31
• Transformation from the traditional teacher-centered education to a student-centered education. • CBCS provides greater flexibility with multiple exits, multiple pathways, vertical mobility.
Why CBCS? • The main objectives of CBCS are: – To provide broad based education; – To provide students with greater flexibility in choice of courses; – To provide students multi-disciplinary curriculum; – To enable students to choose courses at basic/advanced level/inter-disciplinary; – To enable students to acquire job oriented skills; – To enable students to progress at their own pace; – To enable highly motivated students gain extra credits; and – To Bridge the gap between professional and social exposure to provide a holistic education.
Importance of CBCS in the Process of Learning • Choice enables a learner to pursue any area of knowledge domain depending upon his / her interest. • Choice also widens the horizon of learner’s intellectual insight. • Rigidity of present system does not allow pursuit of areas of interest as well as widening the educational horizon of the learner, and Provision of choice is an essential condition for broad-based learner’s profile across areas of knowledge
3. Definitions of Key Words in CBCS:
1. Academic Year: Two consecutive (one odd + one even) semesters constitute one academic year.
2. Semester: Each semester will consist of 15-18 weeks of academic work equivalent to 90 actual teaching days. The odd semester may be scheduled from July to December and even semester from January to June.
3. Programme: An educational programme leading to award of a Degree, diploma or certificate.
4. Course: Usually referred to, as ‘papers’ is a component of a programme. All courses need not carry the same weight. The courses should define learning objectives and learning outcomes. A course may be designed to comprise lectures/ tutorials/laboratory work/ field work/ outreach activities/ project work/ vocational training/viva/ seminars/ term papers/assignments/ presentations/ self-study etc. or a combination of some of these.
PROSPECTUS AND ACADEMIC CALENDAR 2021 - 2 0 2 2 Page 32
5. Choice Based Credit System (CBCS): The CBCS provides choice for students to select from the prescribed courses (core, elective or minor or soft skill courses).
6. Credit Based Semester System (CBSS): Under the CBSS, the requirement for awarding a degree or diploma or certificate is prescribed in terms of number of credits to be completed by the students.
7. Credit: A unit by which the course work is measured. It determines the number of hours of instructions required per week. One credit is equivalent to one hour of teaching (lecture or tutorial) or two hours of practical work/field work per week.
8. Grade Point: It is a numerical weight allotted to each letter grade on a 10-point scale.
9. Credit Point: It is the product of grade point and number of credits for a course.
10. Letter Grade: It is an index of the performance of students in a said course. Grades are denoted by letters O, A+, A, B+, B, C, P and F.
11. Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA): It is a measure of performance of work done in a semester. It is 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 be expressed up to two decimal places.
12. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA): It is a measure of overall cumulative performance of a student over all semesters. The CGPA is the ratio of total credit points secured by a student in various courses in all semesters and the sum of the total credits of all courses in all the semesters. It is expressed up to two decimal places.
13. Transcript or Grade Card or Certificate: Based on the grades earned, a grade certificate shall be issued to all the registered students after every semester. The grade certificate will display the course details (code, title, number of credits, grade secured) along with SGPA of that semester and CGPA earned till that semester.
Courses under Choice Based Credit System:
1. Core Course (C): A course, which should compulsorily be studied by a candidate as a corerequirement 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. 2.1 Discipline Specific Elective (DSE) Course: Elective courses may be offered by the main discipline/subject of study is referred to as Discipline Specific Elective. The University/Institute may also offer discipline related Elective courses of interdisciplinary nature (to be offered by main discipline/subject of study).
PROSPECTUS AND ACADEMIC CALENDAR 2021 - 2 0 2 2 Page 33
2.2 Dissertation/Project: An elective course designed to acquire special/advanced knowledge, such as supplement study/support study to a project work, and a candidate studies such a course on his own with an advisory support by a teacher/faculty member is called dissertation/project. 2.3 Generic Elective (GE) Course: An elective course chosen generally from an unrelated discipline/subject, with an intention to seek exposure is called a Generic Elective.P.S.: A core course offered in a discipline/subject may be treated as an elective by other discipline/subject and vice versa and such electives may also be referred to as Generic Elective. 3. Ability Enhancement Courses (AEC): The Ability Enhancement (AE) Courses may be of two kinds: Ability Enhancement Compulsory Courses (AECC) and Skill Enhancement Courses (SEC). “AECC” courses are the courses based upon the content that leads to Knowledge enhancement; i. Environmental Science and ii. English/MIL Communication.Theseare mandatory for all disciplines. SEC courses are value-based and/or skill-based and are aimed at providing hands-on-training, competencies, skills, etc. 3.1 Ability Enhancement Compulsory Courses (AECC): Environmental Science, English Communication/MIL Communication. 3.2 Skill Enhancement Courses (SEC): These courses may be chosen from a pool of courses designed to provide value-based and/or skill-based knowledge.

Computation of SGPA and CGPA # The UGC recommends the following procedure to compute the Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA):
# The SGPA is the ratio of sum of the product of the number of credits with the grade points scored by a student in all the courses taken by a student and the sum of the number of credits of all the courses undergone by a student, i.e SGPA (Si) = Σ(Ci x Gi) / ΣCi WhereCi is the number of credits of the ith course and Gi is the grade point scored by the student in the ith course. Illustration of Computation of SGPA Course Credit Grade letter Grade point Credit Point (Credit x Grade Point) Course 1 4 A 8 4x8 = 32 Course 2 4 C 6 4x6 = 24 Course 3 4 B 7 4x7 = 28 Course 4 3 O 10 3x10= 30 Course 5 3 D 4 3x4 = 12 Course 6 3 C 6 3x6 = 18 Course 7 2 S 9 2x9 = 18 Course 8 2 C 6 2x6 = 12 25 174 Thus, SGPA= 174/25=6.96 Computation of CGPA # The CGPA is also calculated in the same manner taking into account all the courses undergone by a student over all the semesters of a programme, i.e. CGPA = Σ(Ci x Si) / Σ Ci where Si is the SGPA of the ith semester and Ci is the total number of credits in that semester. The SGPA and CGPA shall be rounded off to 2 decimal points and reported in the transcripts Illustration of Computation of CGPA • CGPA after Final Semester
