The BA Malayalam programme proposed here is also offered by the

the curriculum and syllabi of its BA Malayalam programme once in every
three years to ensure that the content is updated to reflect current academic
knowledge and practice, and also to ensure that the University used provide
the best learning experiences possible for students. Academii staff and

curriculum and syllabus revision workshop considers curriculum analyiis of

the subjects from the classification, specifying enabling objectives, unitising
each subject matter, specification of required time and syllabus formulation
