Semester System and Choice Based Credit System (CBCS)

For the MBA program, FMS follows a Semester System and Choice Based Credit System

strictly adhering to the guidelines issued by UGC. The semester system accelerates the teaching learning process and enables horizontal and vertical mobility in learning. The credit based semester system provides flexibility in designing curriculum and assigning credits based on the

course content and hours of teaching. The choice based credit system provides a “cafeteria” type approach in which the students can take the courses of their choice, learn at their own pace,

undergo additional courses and adopt an inter-disciplinary approach to learning.

Courses in the MBA program are of three kinds: Core, Elective and Foundation

Core Courses: This is a course which is to be compulsorily studied by a student as a core requirement to the completion of the program

Elective Courses: This is a course that is supportive to the discipline of study, provides an expanded scope, enables exposure to some other domains or nurtures proficiency/skills. An elective may be “Generic Elective” focusing on those courses

which add generic proficiency to the students. An elective may be “Discipline centric” or may be chosen from an unrelated discipline. This is an “Open Elective”.

Foundation Courses: This may be of two kinds: Compulsory Foundation and Elective Foundation. “Compulsory Foundation” is the courses based upon the content that leads to knowledge enhancement. They are mandatory for all disciplines. Elective Foundation

courses are value based and are at man making education.
