She got her early education in London and attended Halifax College where she studied subjects like physics, arts, music and literature. She embraced teaching at the age of seventeen and established a school in Wimbledon where she followed her own unique methods of teaching. She was a prolific writer and wrote for newspapers and periodicals and as a result, became a known name among the intellectuals of London She attended the lectures of Swami Vivekananda in November 1895 in London and was inspired by his teachings. She responded to his call for playing a role in educating Indian women and arrived in Kolkata on January 28, 1898. Swami Vivekananda familiarised her with India’s history, philosophy, literature, social traditions and the life of the common masses. On March 25, 1898, Swami Vivekananda gave her the name "Nivedita", the dedicated one. She toured England and America, gave lectures on India and raised funds to establish a girl’s school.

She also went from home to home to educate girls, in spite of the resistance from the male members of the family and the pitiable socio-economic condition of women. She taught history, geography, natural sciences and a little bit of English. She would also teach them sewing, drawing and handicrafts. She also encouraged them to take up physical exercises. She also gave special instructions to a few educated ladies in order to make them good teachers. During the outbreak of plague epidemic in Kolkata in 1899, Sister Nivedita nursed and took care of the patients, cleaned rubbish from the area, and inspired and motivated many youths to render voluntary service. She also organised day-to-day activities, inspected the work being done and personally handed over written instructions about the preventive measures to be undertaken.

Undergraduate Curriculum Framework- 2023 (UGCF) Abbreviations 1. ‘AEC’ indicates ‘Ability Enhancement Course’ 2. ‘B.A.’ indicates ‘Bachelor of Arts’ 3. ‘B. Com.’ indicates ‘Bachelor of Commerce’ 4. ‘B.Sc.’ indicates ‘Bachelor of Science' 5. ‘DSC’ indicates ‘Discipline Specific Core’ 6. ‘DSE’ indicates ‘Discipline Specific Elective’ 7. ‘GE’ indicates ‘Generic Elective’ 8. ‘SEC’ indicates ‘Skill Enhancement Course’ 9. ‘VAC’ indicates ‘Value Addition Course’ Definitions 1. Academic credit – An academic credit is a unit by which the course work is measured. It determines the number of hours of instructions required per week. One credit is equivalent to one hour of teaching (lecture or tutorial) or two hours of practical work/field work per week. 2. Courses of study – Courses of the study indicate pursuance of study in a particular discipline. Every discipline shall offer three categories of courses of study, viz. Discipline Specific Core courses (DSCs), Discipline Specific Electives (DSEs) and Generic Electives (GEs). 16 a. Discipline Specific Core (DSC): Discipline Specific Core is a course of study, which should be pursued by a student as a mandatory requirement of his/her programme of study. DSCs shall be the core credit courses of that particular discipline which will be appropriately graded and arranged across the semesters of study, being undertaken by the student, with multiple exit options as per NEP 2020. The DSCs specified in the framework would be identified by the concerned Department as core courses to be taught in a Programme. For example, for award of single discipline specific Honours degree, such as B.A. (Honours) History, B.Com. (Honours), B.Sc. (Honours) Physics and similar such programmes, DSCs shall be the core courses of History, Commerce and Physics, respectively. However, to pursue Honours degree programme in a ‘Field of Multidisciplinary courses of Study’ (rather than a single discipline) such as B.Sc. (Honours) Life Sciences, B.A. (Honours) Social Sciences/ Humanities, the DSCs shall comprise of core credit courses of more than one discipline. For example, for B.Sc. (Honours) Life Sciences programme, a student shall study credit courses of three disciplines i.e., Botany, Zoology and Chemistry. DSC 1 may be of Discipline A1 (say, Botany), DSC 2 may be of Discipline B 1 (say, Zoology) and DSC 3 may be of Discipline C 1 (say, Chemistry). However, the fourth year of such honours degree programme shall be devoted to the study of only one discipline and hence the DSC courses in the VII and VIII semesters shall be of Discipline A/B/C and not a combination of these three disciplines. Please refer to the framework given as Illustration –I in Table-6. b. Discipline Specific Elective (DSE): The Discipline Specific Electives (DSEs) shall be a pool of credit courses of that particular discipline (single discipline programme of study) or those disciplines (multidisciplinary programme of study), as the case may be, which a student chooses to study from his/her particular discipline(s). There shall be a pool of DSEs from which a student may choose a course of study. The DSEs specified in the framework would be identified by the concerned Department as elective courses to be taught in a Programme. For example, to pursue B.Sc. (Honours) Physics, DSEs chosen should be from a pool of DSEs of Physics. Similarly, to pursue B.Sc. (Honours) Life Sciences programme, the DSEs chosen should be a pool of courses of DSEs of Botany, Zoology and Chemistry, the core subjects for this programme of study. However, to pursue Honours degree programme in a ‘Field of Multidisciplinary courses of Study’ (rather than a single discipline) such as B.Sc. (Honours) Life Sciences, B.A. (Honours) Social Sciences/Humanities, in the fourth year of such honours degree programme in the VII and VIII semesters, the student shall be required to choose DSEs from any one of the Disciplines A/B/C and not a combination of these three disciplines. Please refer to the framework given as Illustration – I in Table - 6. c. Generic Elective (GE): Generic Electives shall be a pool of courses which is meant to provide multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary education to students. GEs shall consist of a pool of courses offered by various disciplines of study (excluding the GEs offered by the 17 parent discipline), in groups of odd and even semesters, from which a student can choose. The GEs specified in the framework would be identified by the concerned Department as GEs to be taught in a Programme. In case a student opts for DSEs beyond his/her discipline specific course(s) of study, such DSEs shall be treated as GEs for that student. d. Ability Enhancement course (AEC), Skill Enhancement Course (SEC) & Value Addition Course (VAC) These three courses shall be a pool of courses offered by all the Departments in groups of odd and even semesters from which students can choose. A student who desires to make Academic Project/Entrepreneurship as Minor has to pick the appropriate combination of courses of GE, SEC, VAC, & Internship/ Apprenticeship/Project/ Community (IAPC) which shall be offered in the form of various modules as specified in the scheme of studies. (i). AEC courses are the courses based upon the content that leads to knowledge enhancement through various areas of study. They are Language and Literature and Environmental Science and Sustainable Development which will be mandatory for all disciplines. (ii). SEC are skill-based courses in all disciplines and are aimed at providing hands-on- training, competencies, proficiency and skills to students. SEC courses may be chosen from a pool of courses designed to provide skill-based instruction. Every discipline may provide skill based courses, some of which may be offered to students of its discipline while the rest can be open to students of all other disciplines1. (iii). VAC courses are common pool of courses offered by different disciplines and aimed towards personality building; embedding ethical, cultural and constitutional values; promote critical thinking, Indian Knowledge Systems, scientific temperament, communication skills, creative writing, presentation skills, sports & physical education and team work which will help in all round development of students. 1 For example, SECs of English discipline may include Contemporary English Language & Literature, Translation & Editing, Business Communication, and English Language & Communication. 3. Major discipline a. A student pursuing four-year undergraduate programme in a specific discipline (Core course) shall be awarded an appropriate Honours degree with Major in a Discipline on completion of VIII Semester, if he/she secures in that Discipline at least 50% of the total credits i.e., at least 88 credits in that Discipline out of the total of 176 credits. He/she shall study 20 DSCs and at least 2 DSEs in eight semesters. For instance, a student who pursues B.Com. (Honours) shall earn the minimum 88 credits from 20 DSCs and at least two DSEs in order to get Major in Commerce. b. A student pursuing four-year undergraduate programme in more than one discipline as Core Course (for example B.A. Social Sciences/ Humanities, B.Sc. Life Sciences, B.Sc. Physical Sciences, B.Sc. Mathematical Sciences, B.Com. and such other programmes) shall be awarded appropriate Honours degree with Major in a Discipline on completion of VIII Semester, if he/she secures in that Discipline 80 credits out of a total of 176 credits. He/she shall study 6 DSCs and at least 3 DSEs in that discipline in the first six semesters and 2 DSCs, 6 DSEs and write dissertation in that discipline in the VII and VIII semesters. For instance, a student who pursues 18 four-year B.A. (Honours) Social Sciences/Humanities shall be eligible for Major in History, on completion of VIII semester, if he/she earns minimum 80 credits from 8 DSCs and at least 9 DSEs of History and writes dissertation on a topic related to History. 4. Minimum acceptable level of academic standards The minimum acceptable level of achievement that a student must demonstrate to be eligible for the award of academic credit or a qualification is the minimum acceptable level of academic standards. The Letter Grades and Grade Points which shall be used to reflect the outcome of assessment process of the student’s performance is indicated in Table - 1. Table -1 Letter Grades and Grade Points Letter Grade Grade point O (outstanding) 10 A+ (Excellent) 9 A (Very good) 8 B+ (Good) 7 B (Above average) 6 C (Average) 5 P (Pass) 4 F (Fail) 0 Ab (Absent) 0 5. Minor discipline a) A student mentioned at 3 (a) above may be awarded Minor in a discipline, on completion of VIII Semester, if he/she earns minimum 28 credits from seven GE courses of that discipline. For example, if a student pursuing B.A. (Honours) History chooses seven GE courses of Political Science out of a total of ten GE courses and writes dissertation, he/she shall be awarded on successful completion of VIII Semester, Major in History and Minor in Political Science. b) A student mentioned at 3 (b) above may be awarded Minor in a discipline, on completion of VIII Semester, if he/she earns minimum 28 credits from six DSCs and one DSE of that discipline. For example, a student pursuing four-year B.A. (Honours) Social Sciences/Humanities with Major in History (after securing at least 80 credits in History), may be awarded Minor in Hindi if he/she earns 28 credits from six DSCs and one DSE of Hindi (up to VI semester), on successful completion of VIII Semester. This definition of Minor is independent of GEs for which there is a requirement of 28 credits to be treated as Minor. Further, in case a student opts for two disciplines such as Physics and Chemistry instead of three disciplines such as Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, major and minor shall be determined as per credits earned in the respective courses of study. The concept of Minor is relevant only when there is a Major discipline. Qualification Type and Credits Requirements “Qualifications are formal ‘awards’ such as a certificate, diploma or a degree are awarded by a competent authority such as a college or university in recognition of the attainment by students of the expected learning outcomes on the successful completion of a particular programme of study. 19 They are awarded after an assessment and evaluation of learning levels conducted by a competent body that determines the achievement by students of the expected learning outcomes to given standards.”2 A student who exits at the end of any even semesters has to earn the requisite credits in order to be awarded the relevant certificate/diploma/ degree. The qualification title/nomenclature and corresponding credits requirements relevant for Level 5 to Level 8 of the undergraduate programmes are clearly stated in Table -2.
