PREFACE
The curriculum of subject is described as a throbbing pulse of a nation. By
viewing curriculum one can judge the stage of development and its pace of
socio-economic development of a nation. With the advent of new technology,
the world has turned into a global village. In view of tremendous research
taking place world over new ideas and information pours in like of a stream of
fresh water, making it imperative to update the curricula after regular intervals,
for introducing latest development and innovation in the relevant field of
knowledge.
In exercise of the powers conferred under Section 3 Sub-Section 2 (ii) of Act of
Parliament No. X of 1976 titled “Supervision of Curricula and Textbooks
and Maintenance of Standard of Education” the erstwhile University Grants
Commission was designated as competent authority to develop review and
revise curricula beyond Class-XII. With the repeal of UGC Act, the same
function was assigned to the Higher Education Commission under its
Ordinance of 2002 Section 10 Sub-Section 1 (v).
In compliance with the above provisions, the HEC undertakes revamping and
refurbishing of curricula after regular intervals in a democratic manner involving
universities/DAIs, research and development institutions and local Chamber of
Commerce and Industry. The intellectual inputs by expatriate Pakistanis
working in universities and R&D institutions of technically advanced countries
are also invited to contribute and their views are incorporated where
considered appropriate by the National Curriculum Revision Committee
(NCRC).
To bring international compatibility to qualifications held from Pakistani
universities/DAIs for promotion of students mobility and job seekers around the
globe, a Committee comprising of Conveners of the National Curriculum
Revision Committee of HEC met in 2009 and developed a unified template for
standardized 4-years/8-semesters BS degree programmes. This unified
template was aimed to inculcate broader base of knowledge in the subjects like
English, Sociology, Philosophy, Economics etc. in addition to major discipline
of study. The Bachelor (BS) degree course requires to be completed in 4-
years/8-semesters, and shall require qualifying of 130-140 credit hours of
which 77% of the curriculum will constitute discipline specific and remaining
23% will comprise compulsory and general courses.
In line with above, NCRC comprising senior university faculty and experts from
various stakeholders and the respective accreditation councils has finalized the
curriculum for BS 4-years in Fashion Design. The same is being recommended
for adoption by the universities/DAIs channelizing through relevant statutory
bodies of the universities.
