Choice Based Credit System
The Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) is a student-centric approach to learning that allows students to choose their courses. It was introduced by the University Grants Commission (UGC).

- Grading: CBCS uses a credit-based assessment system instead of the traditional grading system.
- Flexibility: Students can study at different times and institutions, and transfer credits between institutions.
- Curriculum: CBCS allows for a broad-based curriculum that focuses on problem-solving and critical thinking.
