Undergraduate Programme
For Women and Men
Free
Duration: 3 Years
This programme leads to the integrated postgraduate programme in (subject to meeting the eligibility criteria): M.Sc. in Mathematics (Women and Men) / M.Sc. in Physics (Men only) / M.Sc. in Chemistry (Men only)
- In the first two years of study, all three subjects (Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry) are taught
- In the third year, the subject (students will take courses in only that subject) of specialization will determine the final degree awarded: B.Sc. (Hons.) in Mathematics, B.Sc. (Hons.) in Physics, or B.Sc. (Hons.) in Chemistry
Honours in Mathematics (Year 3): Students strengthen their basics of Mathematics as they pursue advanced courses such as Abstract Algebra, Linear Algebra, sophistications of Complex analysis, Topology, Numerical Methods etc. and software laboratory courses such as Introduction to C Programming and Data Structure and File handling using C during the last two semesters. Those who wish to pursue Computer Science may choose elective courses from a list of well structured elective courses. Moreover, students with eligible CGPA at the Honours level with creditable performance will get admitted to the M.Sc. in Mathematics programme. Besides getting very good training in Mathematics, this programme provides opportunities to Mathematics graduates for specialization in Computer Science or Actuarial Science.
Honours in Physics (Year 3): The programme has been designed to provide a strong foundation in fundamental physics concepts that form the very basis of advanced scientific inventions. The curriculum presents a blend of science and technology, with the physics courses complimented by adequately equipped laboratory experiments and supplemented by lessons in advanced electronics and microprocessors. The program aims at inspiring students to further pursue science at the Masters level and beyond.
Honours in Chemistry (Year 3): The emphasis is on teaching the fundamental principles of Chemistry that cover topics under each of the major branches of Chemistry such as Inorganic, Organic and Physical, and giving training in appropriate experimental methods. Electives (including interdepartmental) are being introduced for Chemistry Honours students that enable the incorporation of emerging fields into the syllabus as and when the need arises. The graduating student will be exposed to almost every aspect of the subject – Theoretical, Applied, Instrumental, Computational and Experimental.
