 "Each individual is encouraged to step beyond the confines of academic and administrative disciplines to explore and intervene in the larger interests of the Ramjas Community that thrives on participation and the desire to venture into newer vistas" Every student has to pursue a regular course of study with a specific choice of subjects. The duration of study for all under-graduate courses is three years and that of post-graduate courses is two years. At under graduate level the introduction of concurrent courses has been done. Concurrent courses are of tremendous importance to any student pursuing an Honours degree in one subject. In the absence of stimulating, informed and cross-fertilising subsidiary courses, which expose the student to a range of challenging academic debates in areas other than the one covered by the main subject, the student tends to get over-specialized in one discipline. He or she is thereby predisposed to acquire for that reason a narrow vision. However, today no discipline can afford to be self-referential, since the academic concerns of any discipline both overlap with and are embedded in wider concerns of social sciences and humanities. Keeping these objectives in view, the status of subsidiaries has been upgraded to that of concurrent courses and the marks of the concurrent courses shall count in the final result of the student Structure of Concurrent Courses Each Honours student will be required to take four credit courses, and one qualifying course. Concurrent courses have four components
Marks
Time 2 hours per week or 2 classes for all concurrent courses plus 1 hour of consultation/tutorials. Tutorials will be held fortnightly for students.

Promotion Rules The minimum marks required to pass the examination at the end of each year shall be 40% in the aggregate as in the main discipline courses of the existing B.A. (Hons.) Programme. The promotion rules for the main discipline of B.A.(Hons.) shall be applicable to all concurrent credit courses. The minimum marks required to pass the qualifying language courses shall be 36%. Components First Year Honours in subjects other than Literature Students will offer one compulsory language course from any of the following: 1.English Note Students who have not studied any of the languages after Class VIII, or if the language they have studied beyond Class VIII is not offered by the college, will not be required to take the compulsory course in a language. Instead, they will opt for one of the interdisciplinary courses in lieu thereof. Qualifying Course Students will offer one qualifying course in any language other than the one offered above.
For example, if a student chooses English as a compulsory language course, he or she shall be required to offer one qualifying course from Hindi or any other Indian language or vice-versa.
