Credit System

CHOICE BASED CREDIT SYSTEM FOR B.A. FULL-TIME PROGRAMME CREDITS

Each B. F. A. (Bachelor of Fine Arts) course is normally assigned one credit per lecture per week and one credit for two periods of tutorials or part thereof for laboratory or practical/internship per week. Each semester curriculum shall normally have a blend of theory and practical courses.

The credits are calculated from the estimated time and the estimated workload that are required on average for the completion of individual courses, modules, etc. The workload is made up of all learning activities that are part of a degree and are checked by means of a performance assessment. In addition to participating in courses such as lectures, tutorials and seminars, self-study (library work or term paper), exam preparation, final theses and final exams also contribute to the acquisition of credits. Credits are only awarded if the course has been completed and all course achievements and examinations have been passed in accordance with the examination regulations.

1 credit corresponds to a minimum of 25 and a maximum of 30 real hours of 60 minutes each of the student’s actual workload. In each year the total number of credits is 60. This corresponds to an actual workload of at least 1,500 (45 weeks for 33.33 hours per week or 25 hours per credit) or a maximum of 1,800 hours (45 weeks for 40 hours per week or 30 hours per credit).

240 credits must be earned in order to be awarded the degree.

DURATION OF THE PROGRAMME

A student is normally expected to complete B. A. F. (Bachelor of Fine Arts) program in four years but in any case not more than seven years from the time of admission.

REGISTRATION FOR COURSES

A newly admitted student will automatically be registered for all the courses prescribed for the first year, without any option. Every other student shall submit a completed registration form indicating the list of courses intended to be credited during the next semester. This registration will be done a week before the last working day of the current semester. Late registration with the approval of the Dean’s office on the recommendation of the head of the department along with a late fee will be done, up to the last working day.

Registration for the project work shall be done only for the final semester.

ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS

The attendance will be calculated semester wise. To be eligible to appear for the examination in a particular course, a student must put in a minimum of 80% of attendance in the course. The attendance should be considered which is logged in the university portal by the teachers. However, if the attendance is 70% or above but less than 80% in any course, the Dean’s office can permit the student to appear for the examination in the course on payment of the prescribed condonation fee. A student who withdraws from or does not meet the minimum attendance requirement in the course must re-register for and repeat the respective semester.

I discovered the creative universe for myself primarily in action painting. The unconscious expresses itself through dynamics that inspire me and make ideas come true. I pass this experience, inspiration and passion on to my students and let them participate in this creative universe.
