Objective of the Course
Life has changed more in the past two centuries than in all the previously recorded span of human history. In one way or another, all these changes involve CHEMISTRY, the study of the composition, properties and transformations of matter. Chemistry is deeply involved in both the changes that take place in nature and profound social changes of the past two centuries. In addition, chemistry is central to the current revolution in all sciences. No educated person today can understand the modern world without a basic knowledge of chemistry. An advanced course in chemistry will be a fascinating experience because it helps us understanding and our surroundings.
The major objectives of M.Sc. Chemistry course are:
- To impart knowledge in fundamental aspects of all branches of chemistry
- To acquire deep knowledge in the study of physical, chemical, electrochemical and magnetic properties, structure elucidation using various techniques and applications of various organic and inorganic materials
- To acquire basic knowledge in the specialized areas of chemistry and
- To train the students in various quantitative and qualitative analyses
Duration of the Course
The course for the degree of Master of Science in Chemistry shall consist of two academic years .
Eligibility for the Admission
A candidate who has passed B.Sc., Degree Examination with Branch IV Chemistry as main subject of study of this university or any of the B.Sc., degree examination with specialization such as Industrial chemistry, Applied Chemistry, or any other specialization in Chemistry of some other university accepted by the syndicate as equivalent thereto, subject to such condition as may be prescribed therefore shall be permitted to appear and qualify for the M.Sc. degree in Chemistry of this University after a course of study of two academic years.

Passing Minimum
The candidate shall be declared to have passed the examination if the candidate secures not less than 50 marks in the University examination in each paper.
For the Practical paper, a minimum of 50% marks in the University examination and the record notebook taken together. There is no passing minimum for the record notebook. However submission of a record notebook is a must.
Candidate who do not obtain the required minimum marks for a pass in a paper shall be required to appear and pass the same at a subsequent appearance.
