evaluation for 70 marks in theory examinations for II and III year (2016-17 & 2015-16 admitted batches).
4. Resolved to approve the syllabi of Advanced Core (Immunology) and Skill based core (Agricultural and Environmental Microbiology) courses offered respectively during V and VI Semesters.
5. Resolved to approve the syllabi of proposed Subject (discipline centric) Electives i.e., Advanced Electives (Medical Microbiology and Food Microbiology) during V semester and Skill based Electives (Industrial Microbiology and Principles of
Bioinstrumentation) during VI semester offered by the department w.e.f. 2016-2017 under CBCS pattern. Student has to chose one Advanced Elective (either of the 2 offered) in V semester and one Skill based Elective (either of the 2 offered) in VI semester.
6. Resolved to approve the syllabus and model question papers and blue prints for all the 6 semesters.
7. It is resolved to add 2 more practicals – (1) Immobilization of enzymes (2) Effect of pH and temperature on amylase activity.
8. It is resolved to shift the topic Concept of gene’ from Module – III in Semester IV to Module – III in Semester – III.
9. Resolved to conduct Semester wise practical exams for I and III year students. There is no internal assessment for I year students and practical exam is for 50 marks. For III year students CCA is 15 marks and semester end for 35 marks.
10. Resolved to conduct Year end practical exams for II year students. 11. Resolved to approve the panel of Paper setters and Examiners for Microbiology. 12. Resolved to approve the Action plan of the Department for the academic year 2017-
