Syllabus for Foundation and Exploration of Performing Fine Arts

Co-curricular course · Common Papers · Semester 3 · SY BA · 2 credits · 50 marks · 30 hours

The University's circular of 31 July 2026 (No. 2026/JUL/AAMS/C-248/59224, Academic Council 18 May 2026, item 3) moved co-curricular courses one semester later: a course first set for Semester II is now offered in Semester III. Your college chooses which co-curricular courses it runs. The University's own grid inside this Semester II paper is headed 'Semester I'; its cover and title page say Semester II.
