Syllabus for Advanced Sports Training and Performance Evaluation
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 IV is now offered in Semester V. Your college chooses which co-curricular courses it runs. The same circular lets a Semester V student choose any co-curricular course of Semesters I to IV not already completed. The University prints this paper's two modules both as 'Module 1'; they are numbered 1 and 2 here.
