CBCS structure and learning outcomes – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B, C and E together express the main features of CBCS. A is true because CBCS expands student choice through electives. B is true as credits reflect workload and contact time. C is true since CBCS is outcome-oriented, requiring clear articulation of course and programme outcomes. E is true because credit-based structures can facilitate transfer between institutions. D is false because skill and value-added courses are often encouraged, and F is false since CBCS explicitly provides for choice, not uniformity.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it omits E, overlooking the mobility potential that arises when credits are designed for transfer across institutions.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it includes F, which claims there are no choices under CBCS, directly contradicting the purpose of a choice-based system.

Option C:
Option C is correct because it selects all four accurate statements on electives, credits, outcomes and mobility while excluding D and F, which misrepresent the system’s flexibility and course types.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it incorporates D, a false prohibition on skill courses, and omits A, failing to emphasise the elective choice central to CBCS.
