Abstract: The ability of a nation to develop is purely dependent on its human resource base, and excellent education produces good human resources. People can ponder on social, cultural, moral, economic, and spiritual issues through education, which also promotes progress through the spread of specialised knowledge and competencies. Enhancing knowledge, growing abilities, boosting confidence, and having a beneficial impact on students' lives are all made possible by high-quality education. It gives students the tools they need to advance both personally and professionally and builds a strong basis for both. Higher education institutions need to concentrate on striking a balance between teaching and developing students' skills by giving them the freedom to pursue a variety of subjects in order to guarantee high-quality instruction. For this National Knowledge Commission and the Eleventh Five-Year Plan suggested numerous changes in curriculum and evaluation system in Indian higher education sector. University Grand Commission (UGC) has mandated the implementation of choice-based credit system (CBCS) in all undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) courses under the XI plan of higher education, following a protracted debate among educationists and specialists in relevant sectors. Through a choice-based credit system, students can study at their own pace and select courses from a list of elective, core, and soft skills courses. The assessment is graded using a credit system that is linked to the different course components that the students are offered. The main concept is to consider student demands in order to stay updated with advancements in higher education both domestically and internationally. The goal of the choice-based credit system (CBCS) is to modernize the curriculum in line with the educational globalization and liberalization trends. It not only creates outlets for learning but also makes learning objectives and goals accessible.
