The introduction of the new foundation courses is with the objective of providing skill/value training to students and expose them to a wide range of disciplines through which they achieve the desired breadth of knowledge while focusing on an in-depth study of one or two disciplines.

APSCHE introduced various foundation courses following the NEP 2020 guidelines from the academic year 2020-21. The following courses are mandatory for the students apart from language and core courses.

Life Skill Courses:

There will be 4 Life Skill Courses in place of earlier 10 foundation courses with the same hours, credits and maximum marks. The objective is to inculcate the required simple life-long skills. While the course in ‘Environmental Education’ continued to be mandatory, in case of others, students can opt one out of three courses, unlike in the existing system, where no choice is being given to students.

Skill Development Courses:

A new set of 4 Skill Development Courses will be offered with 2 hours of teaching per week, two credits, 50 maximum marks and only external assessment. These courses are intended to train students in broad-based multiple career oriented general skills, in Arts, Commerce and Science streams but open to all students. A wider choice is given to students as they can choose one course from a total of six courses (two from each stream).

Skill Enhancement Courses:

Two Skill Enhancement Courses will be offered for each domain subject, in Semester V. The two Skill Enhancement Courses of each domain subject will be linked for a wider basic and practical experience to students.

The committee receives the feedback from the students with respect to the Foundation Courses they are interested in and allot teaching classes to the faculty accordingly in each semester.
