The University follows Choice-Based Credit System in all their departments.
Beginning with the 2016–17 academic year, all UG Departments in the faculties of Science, Social Sciences, Arts, and Commerce of the constituent and associated institutions of OU must take part in the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS).
Internal Evaluation Exams, assignments, etc. are used in the CBCS system to continuously evaluate students during all semesters.
Each paper or course has a set number of credits; a student's grades are translated into grade points and credit points. A student's performance in a semester is evaluated by their Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA), and their overall performance across all six semesters of their undergraduate degree is evaluated by their Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA).
