The Hard Core, Soft Core and Open Elective Courses spread out across the four semesters have been revised, wherever necessary, with the total credits amounting to 91 for the entire programme.
Accordingly, the PG BOS in Geography has prepared the syllabi, consisting of 12 Hard Core (theory) courses and 7 Practical Courses spread across 1st 2nd, 3rd and 4th semesters with the provision of offering project work in lieu of one of the Practical Courses in the 4th Semester. Elective Courses are offered in the 2nd and 3rd semesters for students of other departments, each Course having 3 credits. Project Work having 4 credits is offered in the 4th Semester. Total number of credits for Hard Core courses is 52. The BOS has also recommended that the Department offer Soft Core Courses with a total of 12 credits in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Semesters. The distribution of Soft Core Courses across the semesters is as follows: 2nd semester- 1 Soft Core Course out of a choice of two Courses, 3rd Semester- 1 Soft Core Course out of a choice of two Courses, 4thSemester- 2 Soft Core Courses out of a choice of 4 Courses. All the Soft Core Courses are of 3 credits. The Programme offers Practical Courses with a total of 21 credits. The distribution of these Practical Courses across the semesters is as follows: 2 Practical Courses each in 1st 2nd and 3rd semesters and 1 in the 4th semester. The BOS has proposed 3 open electives each in the 2nd & 3rd semesters of the programme, each of 3 credits (total-6 Credits). The total number of credits for the Programme is 91.
