Hello friends, today I have written an article about the course of B.Sc 4th Year students under the 4th Year Undergraduate Programme, so that all students can know about their course first.

It is very important for B.Sc students to know how many Major Papers (MJC Papers), MIC Papers, MDC Papers, AEC Papers, VAC Papers and SEC Papers they will have in each semester of 4th Year Graduation.

Friends, see, when we take admission in Graduation, we choose and confirm our Major Course at the time of admission. For example, suppose I applied for B.Sc Zoology in 10 colleges of Patliputra University (PPU). I got B.Sc Zoology in AN College, Patliputra University. I went there and took admission in B.Sc Zoology.

This means that I took admission in B.Sc Zoology and my Major Course (MJC) is Zoology. I will get my degree through this paper.

Your MJC paper is a fixed paper. You cannot change it. In the old 3 Year Graduation System, these papers were called Honours Papers.

Today, instead of Honours, you have to say MJC Zoology. However, people still call the Major Paper an Honours Paper. But the value of the Major Paper is the same as Honours.

Earlier, students studied Subsidiary Papers and General Papers along with Honours. But now Subsidiary Papers have been removed and courses like MIC, MDC, AEC, SEC, VAC, Internship and Research Project have been introduced.

Friends, now we will understand step by step what all these papers are and what their full forms are.

MIC Paper

The full form of MIC is Minor Course.

You have to study this paper along with your Major Paper until the last semester of 4th Year Graduation. But you will have only 1–2 MIC papers, while most of your papers will be MJC Papers.

For the MIC paper, the subject that you fill in MIC at the time of college registration will be your MIC Paper. You will have to study this subject in every semester. This paper will not change like the Major Paper.

MDC Paper

The full form of MDC is Multi Disciplinary Course.

You will study this paper only from Semester 1 to Semester 4. You can change the MDC Paper. However, remember to fill it early while filling the semester course form. Otherwise, all the MDC seats may become full.

You will get the option to choose the MDC subject while filling the semester course registration online/offline form. There will be an option like “Select from Basket.” You can choose any paper as your MDC subject.

For example, a student whose MJC is Zoology can choose Botany, Chemistry, Statistics, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Environmental Science, and other subjects according to the available options.

AEC Paper

The full form of AEC is Ability Enhancement Course.

You will study this paper only from Semester 1 to Semester 4. You will get the option to choose the AEC subject while filling the semester course registration online/offline form. There will be an option like “Select from Basket.”

In this paper, you will have to study subjects like MIL English Literature, Communication in Everyday and Professional Communication. Courses like NSS, NCC, NGOs, Social Service, Environmental Science and Disaster Risk Management may also be included. It depends on your college which syllabus they keep in AEC for the students to study.

SEC Paper

The full form of SEC is Skill Enhancement Course.

You will study this paper only from Semester 1 to Semester 3. This paper will change every semester.

You will get the option to choose the SEC subject while filling the semester course registration online/offline form. There will be an option like “Select from Basket.”

In this paper, you will get subjects like the AEC paper, such as Communication and English Literature. This paper depends on your College Principal. The paper which the Principal asks to keep will be kept by all the Heads of Department.

VAC Paper

The full form of VAC is Value Added Course.

You will study this paper only in Semester 1 and Semester 2. This paper will change in Semester 1 and Semester 2.

You will get the option to choose the VAC subject while filling the semester course registration online/offline form. There will be an option like “Select from Basket.” In this paper, you will have subjects like Swachh Bharat, Fit India, Yoga, Constitutional Duties, Ethics and Culture, Digital Empowerment and Sports for Life.

This paper depends on your College Principal. It depends on the Principal how many options they keep in Semester 1 and Semester 2 and which subject the student will study.

This main point is very important to understand.

Your MJC Paper is the same in Semester 1 and Semester 2, but when you move to the next semesters, the number of your MJC Papers starts increasing.

For example, in Semester 1, you will study MJC 1.

All papers will be like this: MIC 1, MDC 1, AEC 1, SEC 1 and VAC 1.

In Semester 2, it will become MJC 2, MIC 2, MDC 2, AEC 2, SEC 2 and VAC 2.

But when you come to Semester 3, there will be 2 Major Papers. For example, it will become MJC 3 and MJC 4, because your VAC Paper ends here.

If there are practicals in any MJC Paper, then the papers in Semester 1 will be like this: MJC 1 (Theory) and MJC 1 (Practical)

If there are practicals in MIC and MDC, they will also be in the same way and all papers will be of 100 marks, whether it is a Theory Paper or Practical Paper.

Internship

Friends, now let us know about the 40 hours Internship. In which semester will you have to do it?

According to the Internship Course, it is called Summer Internship. It is compulsory to do it in Semester 5, because it is of 100 marks. It depends on your department how many groups they make and where they send you for the internship. 

The certificate that you get there has to be submitted to your college, and whatever experience or knowledge you gain during the internship, you have to make a PPT and give a presentation in front of your college professor. Then you will get marks.

After Semester 6 in the 4th Year Undergraduate Programme

When you reach Semester 6 in the 4th Year Undergraduate Programme, you get two options.

You can either exit from college and get a B.Sc, B.A or B.Com degree. You will get a Plain Degree, not an Honours Degree. Or you can study for one more year and get an Honours or Honours with Research degree.

For admission to Semester 7 and for getting a Research with Honours degree, you have to complete some criteria. Only then can you get admission and get a B.Sc Honours degree, or Honours in MJC Zoology will be written on the degree and students who complete the criteria for Honours with Research will do the Research Project/Dissertation.

To understand this, I have written an article about Admission in Semester 7 Admission Criteria. The link is given below. You can click on it and read the article.

Hello दोस्तों, आज हम 4th Year Undergraduate Programme के B.Sc 4th Year students के course के बारे में article लिखा हूं, ताकि उन सभी students को सबसे पहले अपने course की जानकारी पता चल जाएं।

4th Year Graduation के हर semester में कितने Major Paper (MJC Paper), MIC Paper, MDC Paper, AEC Paper, VAC Paper और SEC Paper होंगे, यह B.Sc Zoology के 4th Year Graduation करने वाले students के लिए जानना बहुत जरूरी है।

दोस्तों, देखिए जब Graduation में admission लेते हैं, तो admission के समय ही आप अपना Major Course choose करके clear कर लेते हैं। जैसे मान लीजिए मैंने Patliputra University (PPU) के 10 colleges में B.Sc Zoology के लिए apply किया। मुझे Patliputra University के AN College में B.Sc Zoology allot हो गया। मैं गया और college में B.Sc Zoology में admission करा लिया।

इसका मतलब यही हुआ कि मैंने B.Sc. Zoology में admission करवाया और मेरा Major Course (MJC) Zoology है और इसी paper से मुझे degree मिलेगी।

MJC paper आपका fixed paper है, इसे आप changes नहीं कर सकते हैं। इन्हीं को पहले के 3 Year Graduation System में Honours Paper बोलते थे।

आज आपको Honours के जगह MJC Zoology बोलना होता है। हालांकि लोग आज भी Major Paper की जगह Honours Paper ही बोलते हैं। लेकिन Major Paper का value Honours के बराबर ही है।

अब पहले के students Honours के साथ Subsidiary Paper और General Paper पढ़ते थे। लेकिन अब Subsidiary Paper हटा दिया गया है और MIC, MDC, AEC, SEC, VAC, Internship और Research Project जैसे courses शुरू किए गए हैं।

दोस्तों, अब हम step by step सभी papers क्या हैं और उनका full form क्या है, यह समझेंगे।

MIC Paper

MIC paper का full form Minor Course होता है।

यह paper हमेशा Major Paper के साथ आपको 4th Year Graduation के Last Semester तक पढ़ना होगा। लेकिन आपके MIC paper 1–2 ही होंगे, ज्यादा तो आपका MJC Paper होगा।

MIC paper के लिए college registration के समय आप जो subject MIC में fill करेंगे, वही subject आपका MIC Paper होगा, जो आपको हर semester में पढ़ना होगा। यह paper Major Paper की तरह change नहीं होगा।

MDC Paper

MDC Paper का full form Multi Disciplinary Course है।

यह paper आप केवल Semester 1 से Semester 4 तक ही पढ़ेंगे। MDC Paper change कर सकते हैं। हालांकि यह याद रखें कि semester में course form fill करते समय पहले fill कर दीजिए, नहीं तो वहां सभी MDC seats full हो जाएंगी।

इस MDC के subject choose करने का option आपको semester course registration online/offline form fill करते समय मिलेगा। इसमें “Select from Basket” जैसा option रहेगा। 

इस paper के subject में आप कोई भी paper रख सकते हैं। जैसे MJC Zoology का student Botany, Chemistry, Statistics, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Environmental Science और भी options के अनुसार subject रख सकते हैं।

AEC Paper

AEC paper का full form Ability Enhancement Course होता है।

यह paper आप Semester 1 से Semester 4 तक ही पढ़ेंगे।

AEC के subject choose करने का option आपको semester course registration online/offline form fill करते समय मिलेगा। इसमें “Select from Basket” जैसा option रहेगा।

इस paper में आपको MIL English Literature, Communication in Everyday, Professional Communication जैसे syllabus पढ़ने होंगे। NSS, NCC, NGOs, Social Service, Environmental Science, Disaster Risk Management जैसे courses में होते हैं, वह आपके college के ऊपर depend करता है कि वह कौन-सा syllabus AEC में रखेंगे ताकि students उसे पढ़ें।

SEC Paper

SEC paper का full form Skill Enhancement Course है।

यह paper आप केवल Semester 1 से Semester 3 तक ही पढ़ेंगे।

यह paper हर semester change होगा। SEC के subject choose करने का option आपको semester course registration online/offline form fill करते समय मिलेगा। इसमें “Select from Basket” जैसा option रहेगा।

इस paper में आपको AEC paper की तरह ही subjects पढ़ने को मिलेंगे, जैसे Communication, English Literature जैसे papers होते हैं। यह paper आपके college के Principal के ऊपर depend करता है। वह जो paper रखने के लिए बोलेंगे, सभी Head of Department को वही paper रखना होगा।

VAC Paper

VAC paper का full form Value Added Course है।

यह paper केवल Semester 1 और Semester 2 में ही पढ़ना होगा। यह paper Semester 1 और Semester 2 में change होता है।

VAC के subject choose करने का option आपको semester course registration online/offline form fill करते समय मिलेगा। इसमें “Select from Basket” जैसा option रहेगा।

इस paper में आपको Swachh Bharat, Fit India, Yoga, Constitutional Duties, Ethics and Culture, Digital Empowerment, Sports for Life जैसे subjects होंगे। यह paper आपके college के Principal के ऊपर depend करता है कि वह Semester 1 और Semester 2 में कितने options रखते हैं और student किस subject को पढ़े।

यह मुख्य बिन्दु को समझना बहुत जरूरी है।

आपके MJC Paper Semester 1 और Semester 2 में एक ही होते हैं, लेकिन जब आप आगे के semester में जाने लगते हैं, तो आपके MJC Paper का number बढ़ने लगता है।

जैसे Semester 1 में MJC 1 पढ़ना होगा। सभी पेपर इस तरीके से होते हैं MIC 1, MDC 1, AEC 1, SEC 1 और VAC 1 होंगे।

Semester 2 में बस MJC 2, MIC 2, MDC 2, AEC 2, SEC 2, VAC 2 हो जाएगा।

लेकिन जब Semester 3 में आते हैं, तो Major के 2 papers हो जाएंगे। जैसे MJC 3 और MJC 4 हो जाएंगे, क्योंकि यहां आपका VAC Paper खत्म हो जाएगा।

अगर किसी भी MJC Paper में practical होंगे, तो उनके paper Semester 1 में ऐसे होंगे:

MJC 1 (Theory) और MJC 1 (Practical)

MIC और MDC में practical होंगे, तो वह भी इसी तरह होंगे और सभी papers 100 marks के होंगे, चाहे वह Theory Paper हो या Practical Paper 

Internship

दोस्तों, अब हम 40 hours का Internship के बारे में जान लेते हैं। यह किस semester में करना होगा?

Internship Course के हिसाब से इसे Summer Internship कहा जाता है। यह Semester 5 में करना compulsory है, क्योंकि यह 100 marks का होता है। यह आपके department पर depend करता है कि वे कितने groups बनाकर आपको internship करने के लिए कहां भेजते हैं। वहां आपको जो certificate मिलेगा, वही आपको college में submit करना होगा और आपने जो experience या knowledge gain किया internship में उसे आपको college के professor के सामने PPT बनाकर presentation देना होगा। तब आपको marks मिलेंगे।

4th Year Undergraduate Programme में Semester 6 के बाद

4th Year Undergraduate Programme में Semester 6 तक आप पहुंच गए, तो आपको यहां दो options मिलते हैं। या तो आप college से exit करके B.Sc, B.A और B.Com की degree ले सकते हैं। यह Plain Degree मिलेगी, Honours की नहीं।

अगर आप 1 साल और पढ़कर Honours या Honours with Research की degree ले सकते हैं।

Semester 7 में admission के लिए और Research with Honours की degree लेने के लिए आपको कुछ criteria पूरा करना होगा। तभी आपको admission मिल सकता है और आपको B.Sc Honours की degree मिलेगी या degree पर Honours in MJC Zoology लिखा होगा और जो students Honours with Research के criteria को पूरा करते हैं, वही Research Project/Dissertation करेंगे।

इसे समझने के लिए मैंने Admission in Semester 7 Admission Criteria के ऊपर एक article लिखा हूं। नीचे link है, उस पर click करके article पढ़ सकते हैं।

CBCS Pattern के तहत 4th year undergraduate program बिहार में 2023–2027 सत्र से लागू की गई। इस Four Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUGP) के तहत पुरानी वार्षिक परीक्षा प्रणाली को हटाकर सेमेस्टर प्रणाली लागू की गई।

अब छात्रों को हर साल एक परीक्षा देने के बजाय सेमेस्टर की परीक्षाएं देनी होती हैं। सामान्य रूप से छात्रों को हर छह महीने के बाद एक परीक्षा देनी होती है।

पूरे B.A , B.Sc. और B.Com जैसे regular कोर्स को 8 सेमेस्टर में बांटा गया है, जो 4 शैक्षणिक वर्षों में पूरा होता है।

CBCS क्या है?

CBCS System 4th Year Undergraduate Programme का ही भाग है। पहले के वार्षिक स्नातक स्टूडेंट्स को साल में नंबर लाना होता था लेकिन अब स्टूडेंट्स को paper में नंबर लाना तो होगा लेकिन उतना मार्क्स का value नहीं होगा जितना होता था।

अब स्टूडेंट्स को हर सेमेस्टर में credit लाना बहुत जरूरी हो गया है। तभी आगे के सेमेस्टर में admission मिलेगा। हालांकि हर सेमेस्टर के सभी paper में passing marks भी आ जायेगा तो आपको पूरा credit आ जाएगा लेकिन अच्छा cgpa लाने के good marks लाना बहुत जरूरी होता है।ताकि सेमेस्टर 6 के बाद Research With Honours के डिग्री के योग्य हो पाए। ताकि आपके PhD के द्वार 4th year undergraduate के बाद खुलता है। 

ये Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) इसीलिए आया ताकि स्टूडेंट्स फेल कम हो और अपना डिग्री आसानी से प्राप्त कर पाए। इस CBCS System के तहत छात्रों को प्रत्येक सेमेस्टर में 20 क्रेडिट होंगे और चार वर्षों में कुल 160 क्रेडिट होंगे।

CIA और ESE Exam System 

End Semester Examination(External Exam) में शामिल होने से पहले छात्रों को Internal Exam देना compulsory होता है।

CIA Exam 

CIA का फुल फॉर्म Continuous Internal Assessment है। CIA Exam को Internal Exam कहा जाता है। Internal exam 30 marks का होता है। स्टूडेंट्स को हर papar का CIA Exam देना होगा 30 मार्क्स में आपलोगों को सिर्फ़ 15 मार्क्स का exam देना होगा और 5 मार्क्स आपके attendence और 10 marks आपके या तो प्रेजेंटेशन लिया जाएगा या आपको report/ assignment submit करना होगा अपने प्रोफेसर को।

इस प्रणाली में बताए गए नियम के अनुसार, छात्रों को Internal Exam में निर्धारित न्यूनतम अंक प्राप्त करने होते हैं। यहां पास होने के लिए 30 में से 12.5 अंक प्राप्त करना जरूरी बताया गया है।

ESE Exam 

ESE का पूरा नाम End Semester Examination है। End Semester Examination 70 अंकों की होती है।

यहां बताए गए UGC Guidelines नियम के अनुसार, ESE में पास होने के लिए छात्रों को 70 में से 31.5 अंक प्राप्त करने होते हैं। ESE को External Exam कहा जाता है।

छात्रों को ध्यान रखना चाहिए कि परीक्षा और पास होने के नियम उनकी संबंधित University के नए नियमों के अनुसार अलग हो सकते हैं। इसलिए छात्रों को हमेशा University की नई आधिकारिक सूचना जरूर देखनी चाहिए।

अलग-अलग सेमेस्टर के बाद बाहर निकलने पर क्या होगा?

4 वर्षीय स्नातक प्रणाली में अलग-अलग चरणों पर बाहर निकलने के विकल्प दिए गए हैं। यह संबंधित शैक्षणिक और क्रेडिट की आवश्यकताओं पर निर्भर करता है।

Semester 2 के बाद

यदि कोई छात्र Semester 1 और Semester 2 सफलतापूर्वक पूरा करता है और एक वर्ष के बाद पढ़ाई छोड़ना चाहता है, तो लागू नियमों के अनुसार उसे UG Certificate मिल सकता है।

Semester 4 के बाद

यदि कोई छात्र Semester 3 और Semester 4 सफलतापूर्वक पूरा करता है और दो वर्ष के बाद पढ़ाई छोड़ने का फैसला करता है, तो लागू नियमों के अनुसार उसे Diploma मिल सकता है।

Semester 6 के बाद

यदि कोई छात्र Semester 5 और Semester 6 सफलतापूर्वक पूरा करता है और तीन वर्ष के बाद पढ़ाई छोड़ने का फैसला करता है, तो उसे संबंधित UG Degree मिल सकती है।

उदाहरण के लिए, कार्यक्रम के अनुसार यह डिग्री B.Sc, B.Com या B.A. हो सकती है।

4th Year Graduation Admission को समझना जरूरी है।

कुछ University स्तर के PPU notices और उनकी व्याख्याओं के कारण छात्रों में 7.5 CGPA की आवश्यकता को लेकर भ्रम पैदा हुआ था।

एक व्याख्या के अनुसार, जिन छात्रों का CGPA 7.5 या उससे अधिक था, वे Research pathway के लिए योग्य हो सकते हैं और 4th Year पूरा करने के बाद उन्हें Honours with Research degree मिल सकती है।

दूसरी तरफ, कुछ छात्रों ने यह समझा है कि 7.5 से कम CGPA वाले छात्र 4th Year में admission के लिए योग्य नहीं हैं और उन्हें केवल Regular Honours degree तक ही सीमित रहना होगा।

हालांकि, यह समझना जरूरी है कि 4th Year में admission और Research के लिए eligibility दो अलग-अलग बातें हैं।

Semester 8 के बाद

इस article में बताए गए UGC Guidelines framework की व्याख्या के अनुसार, 7.5 CGPA की शर्त Research/Dissertation pathway से जुड़ी हुई है।

जरूरी CGPA पूरा करने वाले छात्र Semester 8 में Dissertation या Research Project कर सकते हैं और Honours with Research pathway के लिए योग्य हो सकते हैं।

जो छात्र जरूरी CGPA पूरा नहीं करते हैं, वे Research component के बिना लागू Honours pathway के माध्यम से आगे पढ़ाई जारी रख सकते हैं और कार्यक्रम की सभी आवश्यकताएं पूरी करने के बाद संबंधित Honours degree प्राप्त कर सकते हैं।

इसलिए छात्रों को केवल यह नहीं मान लेना चाहिए कि 7.5 से कम CGPA होने पर वे Semester 7 में प्रवेश नहीं कर सकते। सही admission criteria की पुष्टि University और सरकार की सबसे नई लागू आधिकारिक सूचना से करनी चाहिए।

इस FYUGP 2020 की एक खास बात यह है कि छात्रों का समय बर्बाद नहीं होगा। यदि वे एक या दो साल के बाद पढ़ाई छोड़ते हैं, तो उन्हें UG Certificate या Diploma जैसी योग्यता मिल सकती है। इससे समय बचता है और वे दूसरे course या internship करने में समय दे सकते हैं।

पहले की वार्षिक स्नातक प्रणाली में परीक्षा छूट जाने पर पूरी प्रक्रिया को फिर से शुरू करना पड़ता था।

Department of Higher Education, Government of Bihar ने UGC के दिशा-निर्देशों के आधार पर 4-Year Undergraduate Programme लागू करने के आदेश को आधिकारिक रूप से मंजूरी दी है।

Top 20 Important Short Questions from previous year:

Q1. Cyclosis in Paramecium: Explain the process of streaming movement of cytoplasm (cyclosis) in Paramecium?

Answer: 

Cyclosis is the continuous movement of cytoplasm inside the cell.

The cytoplasm moves in a circular/streaming manner.

This movement is mainly caused by the activity of cytoplasmic fibres.

It helps in the distribution of food, oxygen and other materials inside the body.

Cytoplasm continuously flows inside Paramecium, helping in the movement and distribution of materials.

STREAMING MOVEMENT OF CYTOPLASM (CYCLOSIS) IN PARAMECIUM

• Cyclosis is the continuous streaming or movement of cytoplasm inside the body of Paramecium.

• The cytoplasm is divided into ectoplasm and endoplasm.

• The endoplasm shows a slow and continuous streaming movement.

• The cytoplasm moves in a definite direction and forms a continuous circulation.

• This movement is caused by the activity of cytoplasmic fibres and contractile elements.

• Cyclosis helps in the distribution of digested food to different parts of the body.

• It helps in the movement of nutrients and oxygen within the cell.

• It also helps in carrying waste materials towards the places from where they are removed.

• It helps in maintaining proper cell activities.

• Thus, cyclosis is important for the internal transport and distribution of materials in Paramecium.

Easy Definition:

Cyclosis is the streaming movement of cytoplasm that helps in the transport and distribution of materials inside Paramecium.

The 4-Year Undergraduate System under the CBCS pattern was introduced in Bihar from the 2023–2027 session. Under this system, the old annual examination system was replaced by the semester system.

Now, instead of appearing for one examination every year, students have to appear for semester examinations. Generally, students have to appear for an examination after every six months.

The complete graduation programme is divided into eight semesters, covering four academic years.

What is CBCS?

CBCS System is a part of the 4th Year Undergraduate Programme. In the old annual graduation system, students had to score marks every year. But now, students still have to score marks, but marks will not have the same value as before.

Now, it has become very important for students to earn credits in every semester. Only then will they get admission to the next semester.

However, if a student gets the passing marks in all papers of a semester, they will get the complete credits. But getting good marks and a good CGPA is also very important.

This is because a good CGPA is important to become eligible for the Research with Honours degree after Semester 6. It also helps students to open the way to PhD after completing the 4th Year Undergraduate Programme.

This Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) was introduced so that students have fewer chances of failing and can complete their degree more easily.

Under this CBCS System, students will have 20 credits in each semester and a total of 160 credits in four years.

CIA and ESE Examination System

Before appearing in the End Semester Examination, students also have to complete the internal assessment.

CIA Examination

CIA stands for Continuous Internal Assessment. The internal examination carries 30 marks.

According to the criteria mentioned for this system, students need to obtain the prescribed minimum marks in the internal assessment. The passing requirement mentioned here is 12.5 marks out of 30.

ESE Examination

ESE stands for End Semester Examination. The End Semester Examination carries 70 marks.

According to the criteria mentioned here, students need to obtain 31.5 marks out of 70 to pass the ESE component.

Students should keep in mind that examination and passing rules may depend on the latest regulations of their respective University. Therefore, students should always check the latest official notification.

What Happens If You Exit After Different Semesters?

The 4-Year Graduation system provides different exit options at different stages, subject to the applicable academic and credit requirements.

After Semester 2

If a student successfully completes Semester 1 and Semester 2 and wants to exit after one year, the student may receive a UG Certificate according to the applicable rules.

After Semester 4

If a student successfully completes Semester 3 and Semester 4 and decides to exit after two years, the student may receive a Diploma according to the applicable provisions.

After Semester 6

If a student successfully completes Semester 5 and Semester 6 and decides to exit after three years, the student may receive the relevant UG Degree.

For example, depending on the programme, the degree may be B.Sc, B.Com or B.A.

You need to be clear about the 4th year graduation admission.

Some University-level ppu notices and interpretations have created confusion among students regarding the requirement of 7.5 CGPA.

According to one interpretation, students having a CGPA of 7.5 or above are eligible for the Research pathway and may receive a Honours with Research degree after completing the 4th Year.

On the other hand, students below 7.5 CGPA have been understood by some students as being ineligible for 4th Year admission and being restricted to a regular Honours degree.

However, it is important to understand that 4th Year admission and Research eligibility are two different matters.

After semester 8

According to the interpretation of the UGC framework discussed in this article, the 7.5 CGPA criterion is connected with the Research/Dissertation pathway. Students meeting the required CGPA may undertake a Dissertation or Research Project in Semester 8 and become eligible for the Honours with Research pathway.

Students who do not meet the required CGPA may continue through the applicable Honours pathway without the Research component and receive the corresponding Honours degree after fulfilling the programme requirements.

Therefore, students should not simply assume that a CGPA below 7.5 automatically means that they cannot enter Semester 7. The exact admission criteria must be confirmed from the latest applicable University and government notification.

A key feature of this system is that students do not waste time. If they leave their studies after one or two years, as they can obtain qualification like UG Certificate or Diploma. This saves time, allowing them to pursue other courses or internship. Previously, under the annual graduation system, missing an exam meant having to start the entire process over again.

Official Bihar Government Notification:

The Department of Higher Education, Government of Bihar, has officially approved and signed the implementation order for the 4-Year Undergraduate Programme based on the UGC guidelines. You can download the signed official order copy below.

B.Sc 2023–2027 Session students in Bihar are facing a lot of confusion regarding 4th Year Graduation admission. Many students are asking an important question: Will every student get admission in the 4th Year, or will only students with a CGPA of 7.5 or above be eligible?

There is also confusion about the 7.5 CGPA rule, Research, Honours with Research, 108 credits and admission to Semester 7.

In this article, we will explain the complete process step by step in simple language so that B.Sc 2023–2027 students can understand the 4th Year Graduation admission criteria clearly.

Now Let us Understand the 4th Year Graduation Admission Process

This issue has created considerable confusion among the first batch of students of the 2023–2027 session. There has also been confusion among students regarding how the UGC guidelines are to be implemented in the 4th year undergraduate program by different Universities.

One of the biggest points of confusion is the 7.5 CGPA requirement.

What is the 7.5 CGPA Rule?

Some University-level notices and interpretations have created confusion among students regarding the requirement of 7.5 CGPA.

According to one interpretation, students having a CGPA of 7.5 or above are eligible for the Research pathway and may receive a Honours with Research degree after completing the 4th Year.

On the other hand, students below 7.5 CGPA have been understood by some students as being ineligible for 4th Year admission and being restricted to a regular Honours degree.However, it is important to understand that 4th Year admission and Research eligibility are two different matters.

According to the interpretation of the UGC framework discussed in this article, the 7.5 CGPA criterion is connected with the Research project/Dissertation pathway. Students meeting the required CGPA may undertake a Dissertation or Research Project in Semester 8 and become eligible for the Honours with Research pathway.

Students who do not meet the required CGPA may continue through the applicable Honours pathway without the Research component and receive the corresponding Honours degree after fulfilling the programme requirements.

Therefore, students should not simply assume that a CGPA below 7.5 automatically means that they cannot enter Semester 7. The exact admission criteria must be confirmed from the latest applicable University and bihar governor notification.

What are the Main Criteria for Semester 7 Admission?

For B.Sc 2023–2027 students, several important points need to be checked before taking admission in Semester 7.

1. Completion of Semester 1 to Semester 6

Students must complete the required academic requirements from Semester 1 through Semester 6.

2. Required Credits Up to Semester 6

Credits are one of the most important parts of the CBCS system.
According to the admission criteria discussed here, students are required to have 108 out of 120 credits up to Semester 6.

Therefore, students should not check only their CGPA. They should also check their total earned credits up to Semester 6.

3. Semester 5 Internship

Semester 5 Internship is also an important requirement.

Students should ensure that they have completed their Internship according to the rules of their University.

4. Fulfilment of University Requirements

Apart from CGPA, credits and Internship, students may also have to fulfil other academic and administrative requirements prescribed by their University.

Therefore, before applying for Semester 7, students should carefully check the latest official notification issued by their University.

What is the 4th Year Admission and Honours With Research?

This is the important point that students need to understand.

The 4th Year consists of Semester 7 and Semester 8. The Research or Dissertation component is associated with the applicable pathway and eligibility requirements.

Students who fulfil the prescribed CGPA and other conditions may be eligible for the Research pathway.

Students who do not fulfil the Research eligibility criteria may follow the applicable Honours pathway without Research.

Why are 108 Credits Important for 4th Year Admission?

Under the CBCS system, students earn credits for different courses and academic activities.

According to the criteria discussed here, a student should have 108 credits by the completion of Semester 6 for 4th Year admission.

Therefore, B.Sc 2023–2027 students should carefully check their marksheet, academic record or University portal to confirm their total credits.

Students should also make sure that their Semester 5 Internship and other required academic components have been completed.
