UNIVERSITY OF CALICUT
M.Sc. CHEMISTRY (CSS PATTERN)
Regulations and Syllabuswith 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:
1. Course Pattern
(a) The name of the course shall be M.Sc. Chemistry under CSS
pattern.
(b) The course shall be offered in four semesters within a period of
two academic years.
(c) Eligibility for admission will be as per the rules laid down by the
University from time to time.
(d) Course pattern: All courses offered in the first two semesters are
core courses. The instruction hours per week and number of
credits of these courses are given in Table 1. Examination of the
theory papers will be conducted at the end of each semester.
Examination for the 1st and 2nd semester practical courses will be
conducted at the end of second semester. In Third semester two
core theory papers (4 x 2 = 8 credits) and one elective theory (4
credits) and three core practicals (3x2 = 6 credits). In the fourth
semester one core paper (4 credits) and two elective papers (4x2
= 8 credits). A research project having 8 credits is included in IV
Semester (Table 2). Practical Examination will be conducted at the
end of IV Semester.
Detailed syllabus of the first semester courses are given below.
