Manonmaniam Sundaranar University has introduced Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), a new pattern of curriculum for the UG students from the academic year 2008-2009. This has been implemented as per directions of the Tamil Nadu State Council for Higher Education (TANSCHE). In the revised CBCS syllabus, students have a good deal of freedom in designing their own curriculum to suit their needs. They can take any course offered in any department as long as they fulfill the pre-requisites for that course.
