INTRODUCTION.
Mahatma Gandhi University introduced choice based credit and semester and
Grading System in colleges affiliated to the University from the Academic year 200910, under Direct Grading System. Subsequently, the Kerala State
Higher Education
Council constituted a committee of experts headed by Prof. B. Hridayakumari, to study
and make recommendations for the improvement of the working of the Choice Based Credit
and Semester System in Colleges affiliated to the Universities in the State. The State
Government accepted the recommendations of the Committee and the Syndicate and the
Academic Council of the Mahatma Gandhi University has resolved to reform the existing
CBCSS
regulations.
Accordingly
REGULATIONS
FOR
UNDER
GRADUATE
PROGRAMMES UNDER CHOICE BASED COURSE-CREDIT-SEMESTER SYSTEM
AND GRADING, 2013 was introduced in the University from the Academic year 2013-14
onwards, under Indirect Grading System. The University Grants Commission, in order to
facilitate student mobility across institutions within and across countries and also to enable
potential employers to assess the performance of students, insisted to introduce uniform
grading system in the Universities. The Academic Council of the Mahatma Gandhi
University at its meeting held on 23rd May 2015 resolved to introduce the UGC Guidelines
for Choice Based Credit Semester System from the Academic year 2016-17 onwards and the
syndicate of the University at its meeting held on 1st August 2015 approved the resolution of
the Academic Council. Hence it becomes necessary to modify the existing CBCSS regulation
as follows.
4. TITLE

5. SCOPE
5.1.
Applicable to regular Undergraduate Programme -Physics conducted by the
University with effect from 2016 admissions, except for B. Voc programmes. Also applicable
to distance/private Undergraduate Programme- Physics with suitable modifications.
5.2 The provisions herein supersede all the existing regulations for the
regular/distance/private undergraduate Programme -Physics to the extent herein prescribed.

6. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMME
6.1 Aims:
The Board of Studies in Physics (UG) recognizes that curriculum, course content and
assessment of scholastic achievement play complementary roles in shaping education. The
committee is of the view that assessment should support and encourage the broad
instructional goals such as basic knowledge of the discipline of Physics including
phenomenology, theories and techniques, concepts and general principles. This should also
support the ability to ask physical questions and to obtain solutions to physical questions by
use of qualitative and quantitative reasoning and by experimental investigation. The
important student attributes including appreciation of the physical world and the discipline of
Physics, curiosity, creativity and reasoned skepticism and understanding links of Physics to
other disciplines and to societal issues should gave encouragement. With this in mind, we
aim to provide a firm foundation in every aspect of Physics and to explain a broad spectrum
of modern trends in physics and to develop experimental, computational and mathematics
skills of students.
1. The programme also aims to develop the following abilities:
2. Read, understand and interpret physical information – verbal, mathematical and
graphical.
3. Impart skills required to gather information from resources and use them.
4. To give need based education in physics of the highest quality at the undergraduate
level.
5. Offer courses to the choice of the students.
6. Perform experiments and interpret the results of observation, including making an
assessment of experimental uncertainties.
7. Provide an intellectually stimulating environment to develop skills and enthusiasms of
students to the best of their potential.
8. Use Information Communication Technology to gather knowledge at will.
9. Attract outstanding students from all backgrounds.
6.2 Objectives:
The syllabi are framed in such a way that it bridges the gap between the plus two and
post graduate levels of Physics by providing a more complete and logical framework in
almost all areas of basic Physics.
4
By the end of the first year (2nd semester), the students should have attained a common
level in basic mechanics, physical optics, a secure foundation in mathematics, Chemistry,
Languages and other relevant subjects to complement the core for their future courses and
developed their experimental and data analysis skills through experiments at laboratories.
By the end of the fourth semester, the students should have been introduced to powerful tools
for tackling a wide range of topics in Mechanics and Basic Electronics Semiconductor
devices and circuits. Along with Languages, they should have been familiar with additional
relevant techniques in mathematics, Chemistry and developed their experimental and data
analysis skills through a wide range of experiments through practical at laboratories.
By the end of the sixth semester, the students should have developed their
understanding of core Physics by covering a range of topics in almost all areas of physics
including Quantum Mechanics, Electricity and Electrodynamics, Relativity and spectroscopy,
Thermal
and Statistical Physics, Nuclear and Particle
physics, Solid State Physics,
Optoelectronics, Digital Electronics and Microprocessor etc. along with two choice based
courses and had experience of independent work such as projects; seminars etc. and thereby
developing their experimental skills through a series of experiments which also illustrate
major themes of the lecture courses.
7. COURSE DESIGN - B. Sc. PROGRAMMES IN PHYSICS
The U.G. programme in Physics must include (a) Common courses, (b) Core courses,
(c) Complementary Courses, (d) Choice based courses (e) Generic elective and (f) Project.
No course shall carry more than 4 credits. The student shall select any one Generic Elective
course in Semester 5 offered by the Departments which offers the core courses or physical
education department, depending on the availability of
infrastructure facilities, in the
institution. The number of Courses for the restructured programme should contain 12
compulsory core courses, 1 generic elective, 1 choice based course from the frontier area of
the core courses, 6 core practicals, 1 project in the area of core, 8 complementary courses, 2
complementary practicals otherwise specified, from the relevant subjects for complementing
the core of study. There should be 10 common courses, or otherwise specified, which
includes the first and second language of study.

Credit Point (CP) of a paper is calculated using the formula:CP = C × GP, where C is the Credit and GP is the Grade point
Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) of a Semester is calculated using the formula:SGPA = TCP/TC, where TCP is the Total Credit Point of that semester, � , ∑� CPi;
TC is the Total Credit of that semester� , ∑� Ci, where n is the number of papers in that semester
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is calculated using the formula:CGPA = TCP/TC, where TCP is the Total Credit Point of that programme� , ∑� CPi; TC is the
Total Credit of that programme, ie, ∑� Ci , where n is the number of papers in that programme
Grade Point Average (GPA) of a Course (Common Course I, Common Course II,
Complementary Course I, Complementary Course II, Vocational course, Core Course) is
calculated using the formula:GPA = TCP/TC, where TCP is the Total Credit Point of course ie, ∑� CPi;
11
TC is the Total Credit of that course, ie, ∑� Ci, Where n is the number of papers in that course.
Grades for the different courses, semesters and overall programme are given based on the

Note: A separate minimum of 30% marks each for internal and external (for both theory and
practical) and aggregate minimum of 40% are required for a pass for each paper .For a pass in a
candidate secures F Grade for any one of the papers offered in a semester/programme only F
grade will be awarded for that Semester/Programme until he/she improves this to D grade or
above within the permitted period.
13.3 Marks distribution for external examination and internal evaluation
The external theory examination of all semesters shall be conducted by the University at
the end of each semester. Internal evaluation is to be done by continuous assessment. For all
papers (theory and practical) total marks of external examination is 80 and total marks of internal
evaluation is 20.
Marks distribution for external and internal assessments and the components for internal
evaluation with their marks are shown below:
Components of the internal evaluation and their marks are as below.
