Need and utility of Choice-based Credit System in higher education in India

Abstract

The quality of higher education determines the progress of the nation in each and every sector and thus should be given due consideration for periodic improvement. In the Indian set-up, the traditional curriculum which has been offered in the higher education set-up tends to lack standardization across different institutions and in different parts of the nation. At the same time, it is predominantly teacher-centered, with all the offered courses compulsory (no option of elective courses), and the students have to appear within the defined timeframe regardless of their preparation level to move to the next stage [1-2].
