Each letter grade is assigned a 'Grade point' (G) which is an integer indicating the numerical equivalent of the broad level of performance of a student in a course. "Grade Point" means point given to a grade on 7 point scale 13. 'Semester Grade Point Average' (SGPA) is the value obtained by dividing the sum of credit points obtained by a student in the various courses taken in a semester by the total number of credits in that semester. SGPA shall be rounded off to two decimal places. SGPA determines the overall performance of a student at the end of a semester. 4
14. 'Credit point' (P) of a course is the value obtained by multiplying the grade point (G) by the credit (C) of the course: P = G x C. Credit point of a semester is the product of SGPA of that semester and the total credit load of, that semester. Credit point of a semester = SGPA x Credit load (Total credits) of the semester 15. 'Cumulative Grade Point Average' (CGPA) is the value obtained by dividing the sum of credit points in all the semesters taken by the student for the entire programme by the total number of credits in the entire programme and shall be rounded off by two decimal places. 16.

Credits: Each course shall have certain credits. No course shall have more than 4 credits and for dissertation and General Viva-Voce, the maximum credits shall be 8.

Project: Every student of a PG degree programme shall have to work on a project under the supervision of a faculty member as per the curriculum. 19. Evaluation and Grading Indirect Grading is followed instead of direct grading for each question. For each course in the semester letter grade, grade point and % of marks are introduced in 7- point indirect grading system. Course Evaluation: The evaluation scheme for each course shall contain two parts (1) Continuous Assessment (CE) (2) Semester End Examination evaluation (SEE), 20 marks shall be given to CE and the remaining 80 marks shall be for the SEE. The continuous Assessment shall be based on a predetermined transparent system involving continuous assessment test (CAT), assignments, seminars and viva/book review. Continuous assessment of the project will be based on its content, method of presentation, final conclusion and orientation to research aptitude. (If a fraction appears in internal marks, nearest whole number is to be taken) Percentage Distribution of Internal Marks Components Mark Conditions Assignment 4 Best of the two assignments is considered per course. Seminar 4 The student has to take a minimum of one seminar per course. 4 The minimum required percentage of attendance for appearing in Attendance the various semester examinations is fixed as 75. CAT I & II 8 A minimum of two Continuous assessment tests are to be attended.

There shall not be any chance for improvement for internal mark. The course teacher(s) shall maintain the academic record of each student registered for the course. Semester End Examination: 6
Semester End Examination carries 80 % of marks.The examination is to be conducted with question papers set by external experts. The evaluation of the answer scripts shall be done by examiners based on a well-defined Scheme of valuation. 20. Indirect Grading System Indirect Grading System based on a 7 -point scale is used to evaluate the performance of students. Each course is evaluated by assigning marks with a letter grade (O, A, B, C, D, E or F) to that course by the method of indirect grading. An aggregate of E grade with 40 % marks (after external and internal put together) is required in each course for a pass and also for awarding a degree. Appearance for CE and End Semester Evaluation (SEE) are compulsory and no grade shall be awarded to a candidate if she/he is absent for CE/SEE or both. For a pass in each course 40% marks or E grade is necessary. A student who fails to secure a minimum grade for a pass in a course is permitted to write the examination along with the next batch. After the successful completion of a semester, Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) of a student in that semester is calculated using the formula given below. For the successful completion of a semester, a student should pass all courses. However, a student is permitted to move to the next semester irrespective of SGPA obtained. SGPA of the student in that semester is calculated using the formula SGPA =sum of the credit points of all courses in a semester/total credit in that semester The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of the student is calculated at the end of a programme. The CGPA of a student determines the overall academic level of the student in a programme and is the criterion for ranking the students. CGPA can be calculated by the following formula: CGPA =Total credit points obtained in six semesters/Total credits acquired SGPA and CGPA shall be rounded off to two decimal places. CGPA determines the broad academic level of the student in a programme and is the index for ranking students (in terms of grade points). 21. Method of Indirect Grading System Evaluation (both internal and external) is carried out using Mark system. The grading on the basis of total internal and external marks will be indicated for each course and for each semester and for the entire programme, indirect Grading System in 7 point scale is as below: To find Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) : SGPA =sum of the credit points of all courses in a semester/total credit in that semester
SGPA

Where G1, G2......are grade points and C1, C2...are credits of different courses of the same semester. Credit point of a semester= SGPA X Credit of the semester 22.

Introduction to Children’s Literature (4 Credits)
Introduction: Children‘s literature has been included as an academic subject in Western universities since approximately three decades. As this marginalized genre now gets introduced into Indian university syllabi it is apt to frame a course that initiates postgraduate students to the boundaries of children‘s literature. This proposed Course explores the relationship between creative writing and critical awareness of children‘s literature by facilitating deliberations on most of the major sub-genres of children‘s literature. Objectives: This course aims to introduce the students to the serious academic study of children‘s literature. The course will explore and interrogate children‘s literature enabling the students to critically pose answers to whether children‘s literature is innately conservative or it breaks conventional boundaries of categorizations. This Course aims to explore how writing for children redirects the way in which genres, texts, and new techniques interact creatively with childhood and youth culture. Such a reading mainly requires a comparative approach to the study of children‘s literature.
Course frame work: The Course introduces major sub-genres of children‘s literature such as Poetry for children, Picture Books, Fairy / Folk Tales, Drama, and Fiction. Apart from these creative works, 41
there is also a session on introducing children‘s literature criticism. Texts are chosen to fit in the parameters of comparative studies like transference of cultures, translation and trans-national concerns, intertextuality studies, image studies, comparative genre studies, and so on. . The boundaries of children‘s literature have also included creative and critical writings of our nation, placing them at par with other international practices. The Course introduces students to current theories and approaches to children‘s literature studies at the postgraduate level by mapping the major boundaries of the area. This study, finally, aims to compare concepts of childhood in different cultures ranging from the Utopian universal republic of childhood to a concept of childhood determined by globalization and commercial materialism. This course ideally aims at a comparative approach to children‘s literature transcending linguistic and cultural borders.
