About the Programme
B.Sc. in Chemistry is a three-year undergraduate programme designed for students to acquire theoretical knowledge and practical skills in different disciplines of chemistry. The programme consists of core theory along with laboratory programme as well as ability enhancement elective (AEEC) and compulsory (AECC) courses such as Computer Science and Functional English respectively. The programme comprises six semesters with 120 Credits.
The curriculum includes Core Courses(CC) as well as Discipline Specific Elective (DSE) and Generic Elective (GE) programmes and laboratory practicals. The programme also includes two courses offered by Physics and Mathematics Department. B. Sc Chemistry
Programme also includes Discipline Specific programme (DSE) and offers research project on an individual basis.
The programme provides guidance from leading professors to conduct extensive laboratory research projects and explore the chemical phenomena properties and reactivity. B.Sc. General degree is designed to provide a broad view of the discipline and can be followed with expertise in a special field.
Programme Educational Objectives (PEO)
- PEO 1: To produce graduates having a strong background of basic science, interdisciplinary Sciences and ability to use the knowledge and tools.
- PEO 2: To produce graduates who can demonstrate technical competence in the field of chemical sciences and develop solutions of the complex problems.
- PEO 3: To produce graduates having professional competence and skills in the field of science to serve the society globally.
- PEO 4: To produce researcher who function effectively in a multi-disciplinary environment within a societal and environmental context.
- PEO5: To produce graduates who would be able to take individual responsibility and work as a part of a team towards the fulfillment of both individual and organizational goals.
