Core courses are the compulsory courses for all the students. Core courses are of two types: Generic Core & Subject Core.
• Generic Core: This is the course which should compulsorily be studied by a candidate as a core requirement to complete the requirement of a degree in a said discipline of study. Therefore, Generic Core courses are mandatory and fundamental in nature. These courses cannot be substituted by any other courses. Such courses are also known as Hard Core Courses.
• Subject Core: A Core course may be a Subject Core if there is a choice or an option for the candidate to choose from a broad category (grouping) of subjects (specializations).

b) Supportive to the discipline of study
c) Providing an extended scope
d) Enabling an exposure to some other discipline/domain
e) Nurturing candidate's proficiency/skills.
