B.Sc. Yoga
Preamble
Yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice or discipline which originated in
ancient India and is followed all over the world. Many studies have tried to determine the
effectiveness of yoga as a complementary intervention for cancer, schizophrenia, asthma, and
heart disease. Alagappa University has been celebrating International yoga day every year on
21st June. The University has developed a Yoga Centre to provide physical, mental and
spiritual practices to the employees, students of the University, students and teachers of the
nearby schools and public in and around Karaikudi. As per the approval of the Ministry of
Human Resource and Development, our University has been offering Master of Science in
Yoga and Post graduate Diploma in Yoga in the Department of Yoga. In this regard we
proposed to extend our Yoga centre and to run the new under graduate course of Bachelor of
Science in Yoga (B.sc Yoga) in three years.
The tradition of Yoga has always been passed on individually through from teacher to
student through oral teaching and practical demonstration. The formal techniques that are
now known as Yoga are, therefore, based on the collective experiences of many individuals
over many thousands of years. The particular manner in which the techniques are taught and
practiced today depends on the approach passed down in the line of teachers supporting the
individual practitioner. Yoga is essentially a spiritual discipline based on an extremely subtle
science, which focuses on establishing harmony between mind, body; thought and action;
restraint and fulfilment; harmony between man and nature and a holistic approach to health
and wellbeing. Yoga is not about exercise but to discover the sense of oneness with
ourselves, the world and Nature. It is an art and science for healthy living. The word "Yoga"
is derived from the Sanskrit root ‘yuj’ meaning "to join", "to yoke" or "to unite". Therefore
the aim of yoga is to unite the individual consciousness with the supreme consciousness.
Yoga is a science and art of living; also it is a body of techniques that lead us to consciously
connect with ourselves and with life, the experience of yoga. As yoga is an art and science,
there is no dogma or belief system attached to it. Yoga tells us to do a certain practice and
feel their effect following the practice, e.g. if we breath slowly in a relaxed manner we will
slow our heart rate; if we focus the mind we will develop mental peace and deep insight.
In addition to this, Yoga is becoming popular day by day and has become a wave
which is sweeping across the globe. In this course we introduce Yoga as a Science of Holistic
living and not merely as a bunch of yoga postures. During the course the student will be
taught the concepts of Yoga for the treatment and prevention of various psychosomatic
2
ailments. This course looks at training the enthusiasts to become Yoga therapist so that they
could teach yoga under the supervision of a doctor for health and healing.
Vision:
We are committed to develop our students into confident on yoga teachers with
proper knowledge and understanding of the history, philosophy and practice of yoga. We
provide everyone with the opportunity to experience the benefits of classical yoga practices.
We help our students to become yoga teachers rather than mere yoga instructors.

Programme Specific Objectives:

lifestyle

through such tailored practices
 Planning a nutritious yogic diet programme, making lifestyle changes and treating
addictions through yogic mindful living and meditative practices.

12: Evaluation:
The performance of a student in each course is evaluated in terms of percentage of
marks with a provision for conversion to grade point. Evaluation for each course shall be

end semester examination and will be consolidated at the end of course. The components for
continuous internal assessment are:
Internal Test 10 Marks
Seminar/Quiz 5 Marks

component, the end semester examination, which will be written type examination of at least
3 hours duration, would also form an integral component of the evaluation. The ratio of
marks to be allotted to continuous internal assessment and to end semester examination is
25:75. The evaluation of practical work wherever applicable, will also be based on
continuous internal assessment and on an end semester practical examination.
13: Minimum Passing Standard:

External Examinations shall be 40% i.e. 10 marks out of 25 marks and 30 marks out of 75
marks respectively for theory courses. The minimum passing for both CIA and external

practical courses.
14: Grading
Once the marks of the CIA (Continues Internal Assessment) and SEA (Semester End
Assessment) for each of the courses are available, both (CIA and SEA) will be added. The
marks, thus obtained for each of the courses will then be graded as per details provided in
8
B.Sc. (17) from the first semester onwards the average performance within any semester from
the first semester is indicated by Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) while continuous
performance (including the performance of the previous semesters also) starting from the first
semester is indicated by Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA).
15: Classification of Final Results
For the purpose of declaring a candidate to have qualified for the Degree of Bachelor
of Science in Yoga in the First class/Second class/Pass class or First class with Distinction,
the marks and the corresponding CGPA earned by the candidate in Core Courses will be the
criterion. It is further provided that the candidate should have scored the First/Second Class
separately in both the grand total and end Semester (External) examinations.
16: Award of the B.Sc Degree
A Candidate shall be eligible for the award of the degree of the B.Sc Yoga only of
he/she has earned the minimum required credit including Bonus Credits of the programme
prescribed above.
17: Letter Grades and Grade Points
i. Two methods-relative grading or absolute grading – have been in vogue for
awarding grades in a course. The relative grading is based on the distribution
(usually normal distribution) of marks obtained by all the students in the course
and the grades are awarded based on a cut-off mark or percentile. Under the
absolute grading, the marks are converted to grades based on pre-determined class
intervals. To implement the following grading system, the colleges and
universities can use any one of the above methods.
ii. The grades for each course would be decided on the basis of the percentage marks
obtained at the end-semester external and internal examinations as per following
table:
CGY-Category Category(CGY)
CDT-Credit 1. Theory (Core)
GRD-Grade 2. Practical (Core)
GPT-Grade Point 3. Inter-Disciplinary-Theory
GPA-Grade Point Average 4. Inter-Disciplinary-Practical
