Course materials and recommended or required readings

Always beginning the year's program with epic, the texts read are agreed upon between the professor and the students. Additional readings are then offered to the students. 

Exam(s) in session

Any session

- In-person

oral exam

Written work / report


Additional information:

Written exam + oral exam.
January session.
The student rereads and comments with the professor one of the texts read during the first semester.
 
June session.
The student is given a short unread passage of Sanskrit text, which he/she must transliterate and analyze in about 2 hours.

The partial test organized in January is dispensatory. The mark will count for 5% of the overall mark in June if the student passes (> or = 10/20). If the mark is insufficient (< 10/20), it will not interfere in the global mark and the student will be questioned on the whole subject in June.
