Program Description	Revision of Syllabi for the Two years Master Degree (Choice Based Credit System Semester Scheme) Pogrammes in Chemistry, Applied Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry. PG BOS in Chemistry has revised and prepared the Syllabi (CBCS based) for all the Four Courses -Chemistry, Applied Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry in its meeting held on 24th July 2014 and the University implemented it from the same academic year. Now the University has asked the PG BOS in Chemistry to revise the syllabi by giving certain Guidelines (Ref:-No: MU/ACC/CR.38/ CBCS (PG)/2015-16 dt.05-05-2016 bse on UGC letter) for all the four Courses (Programmes) to offer Hard Core, Soft Core and Open Elective courses with credits to each course amounting to 92 credits for the entire programme. Accordingly, the PG BOS in Chemistry prepared the syllabi for all the four programmes. It has prepared course pattern by proposing 12 Hard Core theory courses (3 in each semester) and 5 practical courses (in 3rd and 4th semester), one Project work (in 4th Semester with 4 credits)with a provision to have One Project Work in lieu of one of the practicals in 4th semester in each programme with 3 credits each(project work - 4 credits) with total of 55 Credits). BOS is offering 3, 2, 2 and 3 (Total 10 courses) Soft core courses respectively in 1st , 2nd, 3rd and 4th semesters of a programme. Student shall opt any 2, 1, 1 and 2(Total 6 courses) courses respectively in 1st , 2nd , 3 rd, 4th Semesters. All the soft core courses are of 3 credits. Programme consists of 6 Soft Core practical courses (3 courses each in 1st and 2nd semesters of the Programme with 2 credits each) with a total of 30 credits (6 theory x 3 credits + 6 practicals x 2 credits). BOS has also proposed 2 open electives (1 each in 2nd& 3rd Semesters of the programme) with 3 credits each (6 credits). All together total credits come to 91from teaching. I have prepared a draft course pattern by considering all the points mentioned in the above said letter from the Registrar and placing it before the BOS meeting.
