Osmania University is all set to revamp the syllabus for UG courses. According to sources, the varsity is trying to revamp at least 20% of existing syllabus. At present, the officials are coordinating with Telangana State Council for Higher Education (TSCHE) for revamping the Osmania University UG syllabus. The changes in the syllabus will be at par with model curriculum issued by UGC (University Grants Commission).

UGC has already issued a framework and made suggestions to revamp the curriculum to all the universities across the country. The new syllabus will majorly focus on industry-related skills, spoken and communication skills.

The CBCS system will help the students to choose courses from the elective, core or skill-based courses. For students, core courses are compulsory, while elective courses can be chosen from the pool of courses available.
