32nd Meeting of Academic Council - IGNOU

students, who could not exercise the option for opting CS-
60 or CS-601 at that time, are still not in a position to clear
their BCA degree because of non clearance of MTE-01, 04
and 05 though all computer courses have been cleared.
These students completed the maximum duration of 6 years
in December, 2001 and December 2002 and the extended
period of another two years in December 2003 and
December 2004, respectively. Since, there is no provision as
of now for further extension beyond two years.
ACSC 14.12.2
The Academic Council's Standing Committee discussed the
matter and decided that the students of BCA of 1996 and
1997 batches may be given opportunity to opt CS 601
and/or CS 60 after payment of requisite fee as a very special
case since they have already earned 88 to 94 credits.
ACSC 14.12.3
The Committee further directed that it may not be treated as
precedence and SOCIS should insert a sentence
safeguarding the interest of the University in Programme
Guide/Student’s Handbook and Prospectus such as “rules
applicable from time to time shall apply”.
