Which of the following are the features of Choice Based Credit System (CBCS)?…

Concept

A choice-based credit system is a learner-centred framework that converts a programme into credit-bearing courses and permits meaningful choice, flexibility and mobility. Its defining features are therefore tested by asking whether a statement expands learning opportunity, accommodates learner needs, or improves educational quality.

Application

• Enhanced learning opportunities: CBCS broadens the courses and learning paths available to learners.

• Flexibility for working learners: credit-based progression allows a programme to be completed over an extended period.

• Educational quality and excellence: standardised credits and wider curricular choice support comparability and improvement.

• Compatibility with abilities and aspirations: course choice lets learners align study with their scholastic needs and goals.

Contrast

• “A and D only” leaves out programme-duration flexibility and improvement in educational quality.

• “B, C and D only” leaves out enhanced learning opportunities.

• “A, B and C only” leaves out alignment with learners’ scholastic abilities and aspirations.

Cross-check

The UGC description of CBCS explicitly lists enhanced learning opportunities, matching scholastic needs and aspirations, improvement in educational quality and excellence, and flexibility for working learners to complete a programme over an extended period.

Result

Thus all four statements—A, B, C and D—describe features of CBCS.
