A revised, up-to-date syllabus, suited to the present times and needs and particularly catering to the corporate sector, will make its way into Kolhan classrooms next year.
Kolhan University is planning to introduce new syllabuses in all 21 subjects taught by colleges under it in the next academic session. On Thursday, the academic council of the varsity held a meeting, where the revised syllabuses, on which heads of the departments, deans and faculty members of various colleges had been working over the past year, were discussed. A 12-member committee was also formed to review the drafts.
“The topics that are being currently taught under different subjects are too old. Students need to learn new things that are valid in the corporate sector. There is an urgent need for change for the sake of students,” said vice chancellor Salil Kumar Roy, who chaired the meeting attended by 25 members of the council.
Syllabuses of vocational courses will also undergo changes. A six-member committee has been formed to review the existing syllabuses of all 10 vocational courses, which include computer applications, business administration, mass communication and information technology.
The deadline for submitting the reviews for both vocational and regular courses is January 15.
Another committee of five members has been formed to review the syllabus of Seraikela Chhau that will be introduced as a course at KS College, Seraikela. The committee will scan the proposals submitted by various cultural organisations and institutions and will submit its recommendation within a month after which a final call on the course will be taken.
“We have received syllabus proposals from various institutes. Thus, we have formed a committee to look into the matter. Thereafter, the university will decide whether to start a diploma or a certificate course in Chhau and fix its duration,” said N.K. Mishra, assistant registrar, Kolhan University.
The academic council has also asked Graduate School College for Women to submit a detailed proposal for starting a dedicated department for music.
