CBCS flexible curriculum idea – UGC NET Question

CBCS is officially expanded as the Choice Based Credit System, which organises learning into credit units that students can combine flexibly across semesters and even institutions. Since the emphasis is on credits as the building blocks of the programme, “Credit” correctly completes the name.

Option A:
Option A is correct because in CBCS every course carries a specified number of credits, and learners progress by accumulating these credits rather than by following a rigid year-wise pattern.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect as “Curriculum” would change the acronym and does not reflect the focus on quantifying learning through credits.

Option C:
Option C is wrong because “Course” is only one component of the system; the key concept is how courses add up as credits, not the term “Course” itself in the expansion.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect since “Class” refers to a teaching session or group of students and does not convey the systemic credit-based structure implied in CBCS.
