1. Introduction to CHOICE BASED CREDIT SYSTEM (CBCS):

The CBCS provides an opportunity for the students to choose courses from the prescribed courses comprising
core, elective/minor or skill-based courses. The courses can be evaluated following the grading system, which
is considered to be better than the conventional marks system. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce uniform
grading system in the entire higher education in India. This will benefit the students to move across institutions
within India to be given with and across countries. The uniform grading system will also enable potential
employers in assessing the performance of the candidates. In order to bring uniformity in evaluation system and
computation of the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) based on student’s performance in examinations,
the UGC has formulated the guidelines to be followed.

2. Outline of Choice Based Credit System:

2.1 Core Course: A course, which should compulsorily be studied by a candidate as a core
requirement is termed as a Core course.
2.2 Elective Course: Generally, a course which can be chosen from a pool of courses and which may
be very specific or specialized or advanced or supportive to the discipline/subject of study or which
provides an extended scope or which enables an exposure to some other
discipline/subject/domainornurturesthecandidate’sproficiency/skill is called an Elective Course.
2.2.1 Discipline Specific Elective (DSE) Course: Elective courses may be offered by them an
indiscipline/subject of study is referred to as Discipline Specific Elective. The University/Institute may
also offer discipline related Elective courses of inter disciplinary nature (to be offered by main
discipline/subject of study).

2.2.2 Dissertation/Project: An elective course designed to acquire special/advanced knowledge, such


as supplement study/support study to a project work, and a candidate studies such a course on his own
with an advisory support by a teacher/faculty member is called dissertation/project.

2.2.3 Generic Elective (GE) Course: An elective course chosen generally from an unrelated
discipline/subject, with an intention to seek exposure is called a Generic Elective. P.S.: A core course
offered in a discipline/subject may be treated as an elective by other discipline/subject and vice versa
and such electives may also be referred to as Generic Elective.

3. Ability Enhancement Courses (AEC)/Competency Improvement Courses/Skill Development Courses


/Foundation Course: The Ability Enhancement (AE) Courses may be of two kinds: AE Compulsory Course
(AECC) and AE Elective Course (AEEC). “AECC” courses are the courses based upon the content that leads
to Knowledge enhancement. They are

((i) Environmental Science(ii) English/MIL Communication) are mandatory for all disciplines. AEEC
courses are value-based and/or skill-based and are aimed at providing hands-on-training, competencies,
skills, etc.

3.1 AE Compulsory Course (AECC): Environmental Science, English Communication /MIL


Communication.

3.2 AE Elective Course (AEEC): These courses may be chosen from a pool of courses designed to
provide value-based and/or skill-based instruction.

Project work/Dissertation is considered as a special course involving application of knowledge in solving


/analyzing /exploring a real life’s situation/difficult problem. A Project/Dissertation work would be of 6 credits.
A Project/Dissertation work may be given in lieu of a discipline specific elective paper.

Invertible matrices are square matrices that possess a multiplicative inverse, meaning there exists another matrix such that their product is the identity matrix . They can be characterized by several equivalent properties: a matrix is invertible if it has a non-zero determinant, its rank is full (equal to its dimension), it does not have zero as an eigenvalue, and its row or column vectors are linearly independent . These characterizations ensure the matrix can undergo unique and reversible transformations, key in solving linear systems using techniques like Cramer's rule .

Lattice structures, being ordered sets with properties allowing for the definition of greatest lower and least upper bounds, are utilized in computer science for formal verification, data sorting, and information retrieval. They provide a framework in abstract data types, model various computational problems like type hierarchies, and support domain theory essential in theoretical computer science for denotational semantics, which helps in reasoning about computation and verification of program correctness . By providing tools to model and analyze computational structures, lattice theory supports optimal data organization and processing in computer algorithms and systems .

Rank invariance under elementary row transformations is essential because it ensures that the fundamental properties of a matrix, such as its column space dimension and the set of solutions to associated linear systems, remain unchanged during manipulations like row reduction. This invariance is crucial for performing Gaussian elimination and finding consistent solutions to linear equations, identifying the column independence, and simplifying matrices to a row-echelon form or reduced row-echelon form without altering their intrinsic properties . It aids in systematically solving equations by maintaining core characteristics of the system.

Lagrange Interpolation is used for estimating the values of a function based on its known values at certain points, which is a key concept in numerical analysis and computational mathematics. The method constructs a polynomial that passes through a given set of points and is useful for interpolating discrete data and approximating functions when only limited data points are available . By leveraging the coefficients of these polynomials, Lagrange Interpolation provides a formula that is useful for numerical differentiation and integration in developing algorithms that depend on approximating functions .

The Mean Value Theorem (MVT) states that for a function continuous on a closed interval and differentiable on the open interval, there exists at least one point in the interval where the instantaneous rate of change (derivative) equals the average rate of change over the interval. This theorem is fundamental for several applications: it formalizes the concept of rate of change, is essential in proving other theorems like Taylor's theorem, helps in analyzing and predicting the behavior of functions, and checking for function monotonicity, which can be applied in problems of optimization .

Taylor's Theorem approximates functions using polynomials, providing a formula to approximate a function by polynomials based on its derivatives at a specific point, which expands it into a series (Taylor series). This theorem is important for analyzing the local behavior of functions, solving differential equations, and modeling in physics and engineering since it offers an approximation of functions that might be difficult to evaluate directly . The significance also extends to error estimation in numerical methods where understanding the remainder term in the approximation helps assess the precision of the approximations .

Eigenvalues of a system of differential equations are pivotal in analyzing its stability. In linear system analysis, the eigenvalues of the matrix describing the system's dynamics determine whether perturbations will grow, decay, or oscillate over time. A system is stable if all eigenvalues have negative real parts and unstable if any have positive real parts. This analysis helps engineers and scientists predict system behaviors under small perturbations and is critical for designing stable systems in control theory, signal processing, and other applied fields .

The Fundamental Theorem for Line Integrals states that the line integral of a conservative vector field along a curve depends only on the values of the potential function at the start and end of the curve, not on the path taken. This relationship signifies that in a conservative vector field, which is characterized by the existence of a scalar potential function whose gradient is the vector field, the work done moving along any path between two points is path-independent . This property is crucial for simplifying complex integrals in vector calculus.

Linear programming and game theory are related in the context of optimization problems, particularly in two-person zero-sum games, where the goal is to optimize a player's strategy against the opponent. The linear programming approach in game theory involves formulating the game into linear inequalities and using methods like the Simplex method, two-phase method, or Big-M method to find the optimal strategy, solve the dual problem, and exploit the primal-dual relationships . These techniques allow strategists to determine value and optimal strategies in competitive scenarios. The correspondence between solutions of primal and dual programs is a pivotal aspect of this relationship .

Boolean Algebras provide the theoretical framework for designing and operating digital switching circuits by using binary variables and logical operations. The representation of logical statements through Boolean expressions enables the simplification and optimization of circuit designs using theorems and methods like De Morgan's laws, Karnaugh maps, and the Quinn-McCluskey method . They allow for the construction of circuits that can perform complex computations using simple logical operations, leading to more efficient hardware implementations in computing systems, which is crucial for enhancements in speed and resource use .
