Interlaced with the Programme Core Curriculum, the Common Core Curriculum (CCC) courses are offered to all students irrespective of the academic programme that they pursue. The Common Core Curriculum (CCC) courses are designed on the foundations of the three main aspects namely - Preparing for Success, Contributing to Society and Knowing Self & Community.
