The CBCS System

At Velumanoharan Arts and Science College for Women, all our academic programs are conducted under the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS). This system is an instructional framework designed to cater to the evolving needs of students, providing them with flexibility and a more student-centric approach to learning. The CBCS enables students to choose from a wide array of elective courses, tailor their academic journey based on individual interests and career aspirations, and earn credits for the courses they complete.
The CBCS system aligns with the rapid developments in higher education and meets the quality assurance standards expected in a globalized and liberalized educational environment. It promotes interdisciplinary learning and offers students the opportunity to develop a diverse skill set, enhancing their employability and academic versatility.
As an institution affiliated with Alagappa University, VMASCW adheres strictly to the syllabus prescribed by the Tamil Nadu State Council for Higher Education (TANSCHE). This ensures that we maintain high standards of academic excellence and provide our students with a robust and comprehensive education that meets both national and international benchmarks. The CBCS system, integrated with TANSCHE guidelines, is a key element in fostering academic growth and preparing students for future challenges.

Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA)

At Velumanoharan Arts and Science College for Women, the Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA) system plays a crucial role in evaluating the academic progress of students throughout each semester. This system ensures that students are continuously assessed, enabling them to improve their performance and understand their academic standing at regular intervals.
- Two Internal Assessments: Each semester includes two internal assessments, which are strategically spaced to gauge the students' grasp of the course content. The results of these assessments are communicated to the parents, keeping them informed and involved in their child's academic progress.
- Monitoring and Support: The academic performance of each student is carefully monitored by the Student Counsellor, ensuring that any learning challenges are identified early. For students who may require additional assistance, special coaching classes are regularly conducted to help them catch up and improve their understanding. This dedicated approach ensures that all students, especially slow learners, receive the necessary support to excel in their academic journey.
The CIA system fosters continuous learning and improvement, ensuring that students remain on track for academic success.
