The University of Calicut is fast-tracking steps to launch four-year undergraduate programmes in its affiliated colleges from the next academic year. The plan is to have a curriculum in place by April.
According to official sources, the first draft of the new curriculum in courses such as history, business administration, physics, chemistry, mathematics, statistics, zoology, geology, botany, computer science, hotel management, commerce, biochemistry, and biotechnology is ready. Discussions to prepare the draft for some other courses are on too.
The sources said that the second phase of workshops on the new curriculum would be held in January. It would be placed before the boards of studies on various subjects for detailed discussions thereafter. Later, the faculty members would go through it. In the final phase, the curriculum proposal would be placed before the university’s academic council, which would clear the final draft. A notification on the new curriculum would be issued after this.
