in the 3rd semester could choose to undertake NSS in the next semester and Yoga in another semester. This approach aligns with the student-centric focus
of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2022 and helps distribute the workload related Physical Education/NSS/Yoga of more evenly across different

714x, and 755x) are allocated to the seventh semester.

a. However, students who do not secure an internship can opt for Skill Enhancement Courses (SEC), which offer credits equivalent to those of
the internship. These SECs are available at [Link] (as per the 174th EC proceeding).
b. Students choosing Skill Enhancement Courses (SEC) are not eligible to take up Scheme B.
c. Scheme A: Swappable VII and VIII semesters to accommodate all the students for the internship. In the ODD semester, 50% of the final-year
students can choose to take eighth-semester courses (PEC, OEC, and internship). In contrast, the remaining students can take project work
along with the theory courses of the seventh semester. In the EVEN semester, the roles are reversed.

The students with the backlogs or without backlogs are eligible to take up scheme A.
