Dance (Odissi) Part-Time Courses Nritya Syllabus - Mumbai University 2026
This is the syllabus the University of Mumbai brought into force for these courses with effect from the academic year 2017-18, by Circular No. UG/151 of 2018-19 (Ad-hoc Board of Studies in Dance, 15 February 2017; Academic Council, 30 July 2017, item No. 4.34; Management Council, 28 November 2017, item No. 03). The University has published no revision of it since.
The University has not published an examination timetable or result register for these courses in the four examination seasons to Summer 2026, and the college that teaches them sets no examination for them in its own 2026-27 academic calendar. Confirm with your college that the course is running before you rely on this page for an examination.
These are three separate one-year part-time courses, not three years of one course, and the University examines each of them once at the end of its year. There is no semester level here because her syllabus sets none.
Advance Diploma Course in Dance (Odissi) is a one-year part-time, self-financing course, set under Ordinances 6442 and 6443, Regulations 9169 and 9170.

MU heads this block “Practical I : Nritya & Music” on her syllabus page — the same number she gave the practical above it. Her scheme table prints “Practical-II Nritya” and her marks table prints “Practical-II : Nritya”, so this is the second practical and its title is Nritya; her fuller heading is kept here because it is what the syllabus page itself says.
