PREFACE

The grant of autonomy has privileged us to restructure the syllabi of

the various programmes run by the department with an aim to enhance the

quality in totality. The board of Studies felt that the papers designed are

relevant and useful for the student in the context of the academic

enhancement and career building at the national and international levels.

Hence the Board resolved to retain the existing basic structure. However

few additions and alterations are done with respect to some courses. It also

intended to equip the students to attain the standards of higher education.

The Board of Studies in History comprised representatives from all the

concerned disciplines and was entrusted the duty to undertake the revision

of the syllabi of BA Museology and Archaeology. The revision of

complementary courses in Political Science, Sociology and History was also

included in syllabus revision agenda. The suggestions and recommendations

of the invited expert were also utilized in the preparation of the final draft of

the diploma courses.

In the initial stage, the college organized an orientation programme to

familiarise the aims and objectives of a new revised syllabus. The

programme provided an idea of the whole syllabus restructuring process.

Secondly, the teaching faculties were entrusted to discuss and develop a

draft syllabus in each course. The draft was presented in the Board of

Studies for discussion and preparation of the final draft. The final draft was

thus prepared after making necessary additions and omissions and submitted

for the final approval from the Academic Council and Governing Council.
