to pay the college fees for four years. This fast track facility would enable the
student to undergo an industrial training, an exchange programme, research
contribution in I.I.T. under scheme such as KVPY without any academic
compromises for credit transfer. The phasewise development and completion of
project activity cannot be considered at an accelerated pace under fast track scheme.
The registration under fast track is subject to having a CPI 8.0 or above and no
backlog for consideration of registration to an additional course.
(c) Students opting for earning extra credits by selection of courses in addition to the
courses prescribed by respective BOS which are single Semester activities and not
the part of Honors / Minor scheme. Such students will be expected to pay charges
equivalent to re-registration (proportionate credit based payment). The registration
for such courses is subject to permission given by the Chairman BOS of the Board in
the purview of which the subject is identified. Such permissions will be given based
on meeting with prerequisite subject.
1. In any case (a), (b) or (c) the candidate cannot register for more than 8 credits.
2. A suitable reflection of completion of the said course will be made in the
candidates Grade statement.
For part (c) a separate grade & GPA will be calculated. That GPA will not be
clubbed with the other regular courses for SPI, CPI calculation.
