The document discusses the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) implemented in Indian higher education. It notes the need for academic reform due to lack of flexibility, interdisciplinarity, and choices for students. CBCS aims to address these issues by allowing students to choose courses, learn at their own pace, and gain certifications. It introduces a credit-based system where credits measure workload and learning hours. While CBCS enhances learning opportunities and flexibility, it also faces challenges like lack of a national framework and partial student knowledge from extra subjects. Steps are suggested to improve CBCS quality, like developing a credit framework and increasing awareness.
