For SOL coming under CBCS means a shift from annual to semester. Under the CBCS pattern, students have to opt for elective and core courses and for self-enhancement courses on the basis fo it, students get credits. Through the CBCS system, students get grades rather than marks. The CBCS system follows semester-wise grading and until now SOL was following the annual mode for undergraduate examination. The DU SOL examination pattern remains unchanged by the various changes brought by the varsity to its undergraduate course. Whether it was the semester system which was introduced in 2010 or the FYUP introduced in the year 2013.
