PREFACEThe curriculum, with varying definitions, is said to be a plan of the teachinglearning process that students of an academic programme are required toundergo. It includes objectives & learning outcomes, course contents,scheme of studies, teaching methodologies and methods of assessment oflearning. Since knowledge in all disciplines and fields is expanding at a fastpace and new disciplines are also emerging; it is imperative that curricula bedeveloped and revised accordingly.University Grants Commission (UGC) was designated as the competentauthority to develop, review and revise curricula beyond Class-XII vide Section3, Sub-Section 2 (ii), Act of Parliament No. X of 1976 titled “Supervision ofCurricula and Textbooks and Maintenance of Standard of Education”.With the repeal of UGC Act, the same function was assigned to the HigherEducation Commission (HEC) under its Ordinance of 2002, Section 10, SubSection 1 (v).In compliance with the above provisions, the Curriculum Division of HECundertakes the revision of curricula after every three years through respectiveNational Curriculum Revision Committees (NCRCs) which consist of eminentprofessors and researchers of relevant fields from public and private sectoruniversities, R&D organizations, councils, industry and civil society by seekingnominations from their organizations.In order to impart quality education which is at par with internationalstandards, HEC NCRCs have developed unified templates as guidelines forthe development and revision of curricula in the disciplines of Basic Sciences,Applied Sciences, Social Sciences, Agriculture and Engineering in 2007 and2009.It is hoped that this curriculum document, prepared by the respective NCRC’s,would serve the purpose of meeting our national, social and economic needs,and it would also provide the level of competency specified in PakistanQualification Framework to make it compatible with international educationalstandards. The curriculum is also placed on the website of HEC(www.hec.gov.pk).(Fida Hussain)Director General (Academics)4

AGENDA:1. Scheme of Studies for BS-4 Year Programme2. Scheme of Studies for MS-2 Year Programme3. Pakistan Studies (Compulsory)Mission Statement:This curriculum has been developed with a mission to inculcate among thestudents a better understanding of Pakistan and its influence on the evolutionand progress of the society, so that they may acquire proper perspective ofthoughts and actions taken in the past. This approach will furnish theupcoming generation with knowledge and skill to promote a sense ofpatriotism and to develop universal human values in the society.BS- 4 Year Degree Programme in Pakistan StudiesIntroduction / Objectives In order to create awareness among the students about the “Vision ofPakistan”, as given by our leaders during the freedom movement and afterthe emergence of Pakistan, the rationale of Pakistan’s creation is highlighted.This approach will, hopefully, bring an element of objectivity in explaining thecreation of Pakistan. It will also educate the students about the nature of thestate of Pakistan as envisioned by its Founding Fathers. This approach isalso useful in educating the students about the taxonomy of the state and inmotivating them to develop a sense of patriotism as well as an urge forcreative reconstruction. In view of aforementioned objectives, the course framework is sought to beissue-oriented. It seeks to cover Pakistan’s cultural heritage since ancienttimes, Muslim political thought over the centuries, constitutional developmentsince 1947, political systems and its functioning, public policies and reforms,agro-industrial projects, urbanization, social change and transformation,political development and modernization, as well as the democratizationprocess through resource development and management, good governanceand mass socialization, mobilization and participation. This multidimensionalcourse framework seeks to encompass wide range of issues pertaining tonation-building and state-structure in Pakistan, and provides awarenessabout the remedial measures for overcoming impediments inherent in ourcultural and political fabrics. The issues of human rights have been given equal weight, so as to provideguidelines for reshaping the Pakistani society on constructive lines, andridding it of all sorts of evils, impediments, exploitation and oppression, asenvisioned by Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Since a state cannot survive without a body of citizens integrated and unitedas a coherent nation, the issues concerning Pakistan’s march towards8
actualizing its vision of a modern-liberal Islamic republic have been dealt within some detail. This curriculum seeks to develop students’ analytical and critical capabilitiesand broaden their vision. This will enable them to craft careers of their ownchoice. This will be done through extensive seminars and research projectsfor the most part. The courses seek to inculcate in students qualities of hardworking, futuristic outlook and initiative to excel by way of healthycompetition. These courses will make the students most sought after personsin the job market and by the employers due to their perceptible outstandingmerit in the fields of teaching and research.STANDARDIZED FORMAT FORBS 4-YEAR PROGRAMME INPAKISTAN STUDIESSTRUCTURE Total numbers of Credit hoursDurationSemester durationSemestersCourse Load per SemesterNumber of courses per semesterpractical courses)Sr.Categories1.2.Compulsory Requirement (No Choice)General Courses to be chosen fromother departmentsDiscipline Specific FoundationCoursesMajor Courses including researchproject / InternshipElectives within the majorTotal3.4.5.1304 years16-18 weeks815-18 Cr hr4-6 (not more than 3 lab /No. ofcoursesMin – Max97CreditHoursMin – Max242110301343442121309
