Campus-Center Forum

Dear Team,

I am in the process of completing the cover form for the Master’s program in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. In Table C: Conversion to ECTS Credits, I noticed the form asks for an official conversion method from my home university's credits to ECTS.

However, I would like to inform you that Mumbai University does not provide any official method to convert its credits to ECTS. Given this, I am unsure what I should fill out in Table C.

Additionally, in Table D and Table E, where ECTS credits per course or module are required, how should I proceed in the absence of an official conversion system? Should I:

1. Leave the ECTS columns blank?

2. Use an approximate conversion method (e.g., 1 Mumbai University credit = 1.36 ECTS), and if so, is this acceptable?


Your guidance on how to accurately complete these sections of the form would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your support!

Best regards,
