Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUGP)
Course Structure (3-Year Degree)
The detailed course structure for a 3-Year Bachelor Degree is represented inthe figure below. This structure depicts a general scenario where a student will chose one major course and two minor courses. It is to be noted that in order for a re-entry into the 3-Year course in Semester III or V for students who have opted for leaving the course after the 1st and 2nd year respectively, additional vocational course of 4-credit has to be done by the student on exit.
We give here four examples for
3-Year Bachelor Degree with one major and two minors
Degree obtained :
Bachelor Degree in Arts with Major in History and Minor in Political Science and Economics3-Year Bachelor Degree with one major and two minors with an elective paper on Research Methodology in 5th Semester
Degree obtained :
Bachelor Degree in Arts with Major in History and Minor in Political Science and Economics3-Year Bachelor Degree with no major and minors
Degree obtained :
Bachelor Degree in Arts3-Year Bachelor Degree with one minor and option for double major
Degree obtained :
Bachelor Degree in Arts with Major in History and Minor in Political Science and Economics
Fig. Course Structure for a 3-year Bachelor Degree. The numbers indicate credits in the paper. The Voc-1 and Voc-2 papers are vocational courses that a student would have to take in the case of exiting in the 1st or 2nd year. These courses are NOT compulsory in general, but a student will need them for re-entry into the programme.
Example #1
3-Year Bachelor Degree with one major and two minors
Degree obtained : Bachelor Degree in Arts with Major in History and Minor in Political Science and Economics
The schematic structure is shown in the figure given below.
Salient features
Major in History and Minors in Political Science and Economics. The student declares the Major subject in Semester III.
The student can however opt for Major in any of the three courses i.e. History, Political Science, and Economics, by the time she reaches Semester IV, in case she wants to opt out of History.
There will be 4 Open Credits for the students in Semester IV, V, and VI, which she can leave out all together. In this case, she will have total credit of 120 for a 3-Year course, which is baseline.
In case, the student wants to use the Open Credits, she can utilise them for obtaining a Double Major by the 4th year. Such an example is given afterwards.
Fig. The course structure for Example #1. The +3 indicates the Disciplinary Elective papers (DSC).
Example #2
3-Year Bachelor Degree with one major and two minors with an elective paper on Research Methodology in 5th Semester
Degree obtained : Bachelor Degree in Arts with Major in History and Minor in Political Science and Economics
The schematic structure is shown in the figure given below.
Salient features
Major in History and Minors in Political Science and Economics. The student declares the Major subject in Semester III.
The student can however opt for Major in any of the three courses i.e. History, Political Science, and Economics, by the time she reaches Semester IV, in case she wants to opt out of History.
There will be 4 Open Credits for the students in Semester IV, V, and VI, which she can leave out all together. In this case, she will have total credit of 120 for a 3-Year course, which is baseline.
This student however utilises one Open Credit in 5th Semester to do an Elective Paper on Research Methodology, thereby saving time for the same, when she progresses to 4th year.
Fig. The course structure for Example #2. The +3 indicates the Disciplinary Elective papers (DSC).
Example #3
3-Year Bachelor Degree with minors but no major
Degree obtained : Bachelor Degree in Arts with Minors in History, Political Science, and Economics
The schematic structure is shown in the figure given below.
Salient features
This student has chosen to study all the three subjects equally. So, at the end of 3-Year course, she will have three Minors, each in History, Political Science, and Economics.
She can however choose to convert one Minor to a Major in the 4th year.
There will not be any Open Credit in this case

Example #4
3-Year Bachelor Degree with one minor and option for double major
Degree obtained : Bachelor Degree in Arts with Majors in History and Political Science and Minor in Economics
The schematic structure is shown in the figure given below.
Salient features
This option is similar to Example #1, but the student has chosen to take 12 more extra credits in Semesters IV, V, and VI so that she has a total of 48 credits on minor subject thus converting the subject to a second major subject. In this case, the second major is in Political Science.
Fig. The course structure for Example #4. The student completes a double major in 3 years (top panel) and option for a double major by the 4th year (bottom panel).
