The meeting ended with a combined decision for all faculties operational under the umbrella of SGT University and the following suggestions submitted for consideration to the Chairman IQAC
- A minimum of two courses to be offered by each faculty under Open Courses as Open Electives, later on more could be added.
- Open Courses will be offered from Semester I to IV, however, this year the implementation will start from the second semester onwards so that time table/examination/grade etc. get finalized and proper teaching days are available for completion of syllabi.
- Since all faculties have their full workload in a week, so additional periods cannot be assigned, the faculties offering interdisciplinary open elective will adjust these classes in timetable in a single slot of 3:00 – 4:00 pm in a week.
- Thus Credits earned on account of Open Elective will get adjusted in a semester without additional load and students will have the choice to choose any open electives from Semester I to IV. To begin with minimum 4 credits will be adjusted and maximum could be 16.
- Programs governed by regulatory bodies may offer Interdisciplinary courses in Semester mode but these credits cannot be transferred/adjusted? This point need to be deliberated further.
- A meeting with the dean/representatives of English and Allied Sciences need to be arranged separately to bring uniformity in syllabus/curriculum/examination of English Communication and Environmental Studies offered as Ability Enhancement Courses to all students of the university.
Meeting ended at 4:00 PM with the thanks by the Chair to the committee members, deans and faculty representatives present there.
- Prof. Waheeda Khan
