Course Objective: COURSE OBJECTIVE OF SEC-1: In order to augment the employability, the Skill Enhancement
Course has been designed by incorporating the theories of the various titrations of Inorganic Chemistry,
theories of Surface Tension and Viscosity related experiments
Learning Outcome: COURSE OUTCOMES: CO- 1: Understanding of the theories for quantitative estimation by
volumetric titration. CO- 2: Understanding the theories behind the experiments designed to measure surface
tension and the viscosity of fluids. CO-3: This part is design

Basic Features

Undergraduate degree programmes of either 3 or 4-year duration, with multiple entry and exit
points and re-entry options, with appropriate certifications such as:

UG certificate after completing 1 year (2 semesters with 40 Credits + 1 Summer course of 4

credits) of study,
UG diploma after 2 years (4 semesters with 80 Credits + 1 Summer course of 4 credits) of
study,
Bachelor’s degree after a 3-year (6 semesters with 120 credits) programme of study,
4-year bachelor’s degree (Honours) after eight semesters (with 170 Credits) programme of
study.
4-year bachelor’s degree (Honours with Research) if the student completes a rigorous
research project (of 12 Credits) in their major area(s) of study in the 8th semester.

Note: The eligibility condition of doing the UG degree (Honours with Research) is- minimum75%
marks to be obtained in the first six semesters.

The students can make an exit after securing UG Certificate/ UG Diploma and are allowed to
re-enter the degree programme within three years and complete the degree programme
within the stipulated maximum period of seven years.
