About this survey
- Purpose
- To ascertain student preference about value added courses as proposed by the department, so that those in demand can be scheduled for the upcoming academic year.
- Status
- This is a preference survey. It is not an application, and it indicates neither registration nor admission to any course.
- Eligibility
- Open to any student currently enrolled in a degree programme — in the Department of Psychology, in another department of Elphinstone College, or in another college or university. The year of study is recorded as one of FYBA, SYBA, TYBA, MA I and MA II.
- Use of responses
- Responses are recorded by the department and used only for academic planning. No individual response is published, and none is shared outside the department.
Note: All courses are approved by HBSU. Students can accrue as many credits as they want, but only 2 credits will appear as additional credits per semester on the marksheet. However, all accumulated credits will appear in the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) for all students, irrespective of their department/college/university.
