Abstract

The prescriptive reform rhetoric is devoid of any discussion of how the CBCS alters the perception of a teacher’s workload. The UGC has portrayed the CBCS plan as a means of upholding standards and preserving quality, yet it has been implemented by decree despite providing the least information regarding its purpose and methodology. Due to the political need for its implementation, the likelihood of it surviving in the higher education system greatly outweighs its inherent value. The credit system required a change in the way that instruction is delivered. Even prior to the implementation of the credit system, their amount of teaching, or “workload,” as specified by the financing body, the UGC, had remained 16 hours per week of instruction in colleges. The unified articulation of the Action Plan for Academic Reforms, which was tied to requirements for the continuance of state support for institutions, came before the Higher Education Bill, which was withdrawn after being introduced in the Parliament in 2010. The study “Evaluation and Assessment of Choice Based Credit System - A Critical Review” will be covered in this discussion.
