with effect from 2010 admission

Preamble The Board of Studies in Chemistry (PG) at its meeting held on 21.06.2010 considered the introduction of Credit Semester System (CSS) in affiliated colleges for the PG programmes in Chemistry and resolved to implement the CSS pattern from 2010 admission onwards. The revised course pattern, syllabus, distribution of credits and scheme of evaluation, etc. approved by the Board are given below: Course Pattern (a) (b) (c) (d) The name of the course shall be M.Sc. Chemistry under CSS pattern. The course shall be offered in four semesters within a period of two academic years. Eligibility for admission will be as per the rules laid down by the University from time to time. Details of the courses offered for the programme are given in Table I. The course shall be conducted in accordance with the course pattern, scheme of examination and syllabus prescribed. Of the 25 hours per week, 12 hours shall be allotted for theory, 12 hours for practicals and 1 hour for seminar.

Theory Papers In each semester there will be three theory papers. All the theory papers in the first and second semesters are core papers. In the third semester there will be two core theory papers and one elective paper. Colleges can choose any one of the elective papers given in table 1. In the fourth semester there will be one core paper and two elective papers. College can choose any two elective papers from those given in table 1. However a candidate may be permitted to choose any other elective papers without giving any lecture classes. Practicals: In each semester there will be three core practical papers (2 credits each). However practical examination will be conducted only at the end of the second semester for CHPO1, CHPO2, CHPO3 and at the end of fourth semester for CHPO4, CHPO5, CHPO6. Project and Viva Voce: Each student will have to do an independent research project work during the entire course under the guidance of a faculty member of the college/ scientists of recognized research institutions and submit the dissertation at the end of the fourth semester for evaluation (5 credits). There will be a comprehensive viva voce (3 credits) at the end of the fourth semester. The viva voce will be based on the theory and practical papers and the project work.
