XIII. MEDIUM OF INSTRUCTION :
Semester scheme is followed at the Campus, Constituent and Affiliated Colleges of Osmania University and the medium of instruction and
examination is English
XIV CBCS SYSTEM: All P.G. courses offered at University Campus and Constituent Colleges follow the CBCS (Choice Based Credit
system) system from the academic year 2009 –2010. Under this system, the students admitted in P.G courses have to take two
papers from those offered by other departments during the final year of the course. In addition, Grade Point Average (GPA) System is
followed, in which the GPA is based on the total Credit points earned by the students in all courses and the total number of Credits in
a semester. At the end of the course, the result of a student will be indicated by Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA), which is
obtained by dividing the total number of Credit points secured by student in all semesters by the total number of Credits of all the semesters.
XV ATTENDANCE:
Candidates once admitted are required to put in not less than 75% of attendance in lectures (and practical wherever applicable). The Vice-
chancellor, on the specific recommendation of the Principal/Head of the Department, may condone the deficiency in attendance to the extent
of 10% on medical grounds, subject to production of Medical Certificate and on payment of the prescribed condonation fee.
XVI . PROHIBITION OF SIMULTANEOUS STUDY:
Candidates are not permitted to pursue more than one course, at any point of time. If such cases are detected, the admission of the candidate
in both the courses will be cancelled at any time.
XVII . HOSTEL ACCOMMODATION:
Limited accommodation is available in the Campus hostels for students who are admitted in the University Colleges only. Admission into
colleges does not confer the right for accommodation in the Hostel. The available accommodation in the Hostel will be filled as per the rules
and regulations that are in force from time to time. No Hostel accommodation is available at District P.G. Colleges. However, a limited
dormitory accommodation is available for Boys only. No Hostel facility will be available to the candidates admitted into various
Self financing/Payment seats/courses, P.G. Diploma courses and evening courses.
