“The result in the honours category is 100 percent. In the general category only a few students have failed.

Initially there were apprehensions about the new system but the syllabus is very lucid and designed keeping the needs of the time in mind,” said a university official.

The university had in 2017 introduced the system - which enables a student to choose an elective paper from any discipline - in the BCom course only.

The syllabi was revamped and several workshops were held to acquaint the teachers to the new system. The students in commerce now take exams for 2600 marks spread over six semesters instead of 1800 under the previous system.
