The council approved the amendments brought to the draft regulations governing the credit-based semester scheme for bachelor degree programmes in the faculties of arts, science and commerce.

Another amendment was related to the introduction of a foundation course. The element "gender equality'' was added to the course along with Indian Constitution, Human Rights and Environment. Hence, the foundation course will cover these four elements.
