All the programmes offered by the College come under CBCS and OBE. It helps the students to keep pace with the latest developments and trends in higher education in compliance with the assurance of quality in liberalisation and globalisation. This came into effect from the year 2005-06, as per the guidelines of the affiliating university. A restructured syllabus is introduced from the year 2010, as the college became autonomous, at all levels of U.G. and P.G. Programmes. The structure and syllabi are subjected to revision at least once in three years or as and when required.
The University Grants Commission (UGC) has initiated the mission of improving the quality of higher education in India through its Quality Mandate in the year 2018. This aims to fill the gap in acquiring degree and attain the level of employability. Therefore, it took the drive for developing Learning Outcomes based Curriculum Framework (LOCF) under the international standards of Outcome Based Education (OBE).
Learning in this pattern, Bachelor’s Degrees are awarded on the basis of demonstrated achievement of outcomes (expressed in terms of knowledge, understanding, skills, attitudes and values) and academic standards expected of graduates of a programme of study. Learning outcomes specify what exactly the graduates are expected to know after completing a particular programme of study, understand and capable of doing what they ascertain at the end of their programme of study. The expected learning outcomes are used as reference points that would help formulate graduate attributes, qualification descriptors, programme learning outcomes and course learning outcomes which, in turn will help in curriculum planning & development, and in the design, delivery and review of academic programmes. They provide general guidance for articulating the essential learning associated with programmes of study and courses within a programme.
Keeping in mind the approach of the UGC on LOCF and by its directions, our College, through its august Academic Council, decided to implement OBE in the curriculum from the academic year 2019-20 onwards.
The term ‘Credit’, refers to the weightage given to a course, usually in relation to the instructional hours and content of the course assigned to it. The total minimum credits, required for completing U.G. Programme, and PG Programmes are 140 and 90respectively. Details of credits for individual components and individual courses are to be obtained from the programme structure / syllabus found in the college website.

The U.G. and P.G. Programmes consist of a number of courses. The term ‘course’, technically means the term ‘paper’, which we have been using so far. The Courses can be classified as Language Course, Core Course, Allied Course, Elective Courses (non-major elective & skill-based elective), Environmental Studies, Value Education, Gender Studies and Project work. The courses shall vary according to the Programmes and internal choices. The College website www.nct.ac.in gives a detailed description of each of these Courses.
(For the students admitted in 2023-2024 & 2024-2025)

Each course shall be designed variously under lectures/tutorials/ laboratory practical/ field work/ seminar/ practical training/ assignments/ term paper/ report writing, etc., to satisfy effective teaching-learning process.
Mandatory: All those who opt for Language Hindi/Sanskrit, instead of Language Tamil must choose only Sirappu Tamil or Adippadai Tamil as the subject under Non-major Elective (NME).

The curriculum offers an innovative practice of scoring extra credits through self-study courses. The student may choose one or a maximum of two self-study courses. The students are to identify the courses from the given list. Classes won’t be met for such courses. The general attendance is taken into account for the award of marks for attendance in the Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA). Apart from this, the tutor would evaluate the assignments and CIA tests, given to the students, periodically. The Marks Statement would carry the nomenclature of such courses and credits obtained, at the completion of the course/programme.
