Introduction:

The Board of Studies is the basic constituent of the academic system of an institution like Autonomous Colleges and Universities. Which colleges not having the Autonomous Status under any university, but belong to PG subjects, can introduce the Board of Studies for different PG disciplines maintaining the rules and regulation of their Mother Universities.

Function:

Since, our college is not belonging to the Autonomous Status; we follow the principles of our Mother University, Vidyasagar University. In this case, framing the syllabi, reviewing and updating syllabi from time to time, etc. are concretely depended on the role of mother university under its rule, regulation and policy.

In this perspective, we have the following functional powers to control and conduct the existed PG disciplines like Bengali, Sanskrit, Geography and Environment Management, History and Philosophy:

Suggest methodologies for innovative teaching and evaluation techniques;

suggest panel of names to the Academic Council for appointment of examiners; and

Coordinate research, teaching, extension and other academic activities in the department/college.

Composition of Board of Studies:

Head of the concerned Institution (Chairman).

Head/Coordinator of the concerned Department.

Two experts in the subject from outside the college nominated by the Academic Council/ PG Section of the University from recommendation of the Principal.

Term: The Term of the nominated members is two years.

Meeting: The Principal/ Teacher-in-charge of the college shall draw the schedule for meeting of the Board of Studies for different
departments. The Meeting may be scheduled as and when necessary, but at least once a semester session.
