| Program Description |
• Program:
A Program is a set of courses that are linked together in an academically meaningful way and
generally ends with the award of a Certificate or Diploma or Degree depending on the level of
knowledge attained and the total duration of study. For example, Certificate in office Computing,
Diploma in Journalism, BA and BSc , etc. would be called ‘Programs’ at the Certificate, Diploma
and Degree level respectively. Over the years, most universities have been using the term
‘Course’ to indicate what is meant here by ‘Program’. In order to use common nomenclature,
therefore, let us refer to BA, B.Sc and B.Com, B.E./M.E, B.Tech/M.Tech as Programs, not
Courses.
• Course:
A ‘course’ in simple terms corresponds to the word ‘subject’ used in many universities. A course
is essentially a constituent of a ‘program’ and may be conceived of as a composite of several
learning topics taken from a certain knowledge domain, at a certain level. All the learning topics
included in a course must necessarily have academic coherence, that is, there must be a common
thread linking the various components of a course. A number of linked courses considered
together are in practice, a ‘program. For instance,
1. ‘Compulsory Power Electronics’, ‘Micocontroller’, ‘ Micro-Electronics’, etc. included under
the B.Tech/M.Tech Electronics program would be called ‘Courses’
2. Mechanical,Civil,Electrical, Electronics,Computer. included under the B.Tech/MTech.
Programme would be called ‘Courses’ for single major Engineering in respective branches.
