• The credit system requires that a student progresses in the academic programmes not in terms of time (semesters/ years), but in terms of courses.
• Each course is assigned a certain credit, depending on the estimated effort put in by a student. When the student passes that course, he/she earns the credits associated with that course.
• New syllabus for MBA Programme offers various types of courses as listed below:
  1. 3 Credit courses (100 Marks)
  2. 2 Credit courses (50 Marks)
  3. 1 Credit courses (25 Marks)
• In the credit system the emphasis is on the hours put in by the learner and not on the workload of the teacher. Each credit can be visualized as a combination of 3 components like lecture (L) + Tutorials (T) + Practice (Practical/ Project Work) i.e. LTP pattern.
• The effort of the learner for each credit point may be considered to have two parts:
  One part consisting of the hours actually spent in the classrooms/ practical/ field work instructions.
  The other part consisting of national hours spent by the learner in self- study, in the library, peer interactions, case study, writing of journals and assignments, projects etc. for the completion of that course.
