3) Geography
4) Geology
5) Mathematics
6) Physics, and
7) Zoology
Eligibility:10+2 with science subjects or its equivalent qualification
Medium of Instruction: English & Hindi
Duration: Minimum 3 years and Maximum 6 years; offered in both January and July cycle of admission.
Fee Structure: Rs. 13,500/- for full programme to be paid year wise @ Rs.4,500/- per year. Fee to be paid

years) with 22 credits per Semester. For earning 132 credits, a student has to opt for courses from the following
categories of courses:
a) Core Courses (CC)
b) Discipline Specific Electives (DSE) c) Ability Enhancement Compulsory Courses (AECC)
d) Skill Enhancement Courses (SEC)
A learner can choose any of the three disciplines as per interest from the above disciplines for completing BSc
programme. Once chosen, he/she has to take Core Courses and Discipline Specific Elective Courses from those
three Disciplines ONLY in all the semesters as per the following Programme Structure Template:

* 1. As per CBCS, in disciplines such as Botany, Chemistry, Geology, Physics and Zoology, where Laboratory work
is compulsory, a 06 Credit Course is offered as a combination of two Courses in the same subject area:
a 04 Credits Theory Course and a 02 Credits Laboratory Course. Both these courses in a given subject area
of a discipline are to be taken together compulsorily.
2. Every course offered by the Mathematics discipline, which does not require Laboratory work, is a single
course of 06 Credits which includes 01 Credit worth of Tutorials.
3. In the Geography discipline, some subject areas do require Laboratory works whereas, some subject areas
do not require any Laboratory work. Therefore, the Courses of the Geography discipline are of two types:
a) Courses which require Laboratory work – Each such Course is a combination of a 04 Credits Theory
Course and a 02 Credits Laboratory Course (both these are to be taken together compulsorily); and b)
Courses which do not require Laboratory work – Each such Course is of 06 Credits and includes 01 Credit
worth of Tutorials.

SEMESTER-WISE COURSE OPTIONS FOR BSCG
The Bachelor’s Degree in Science is of 132 credits spread over six semesters (Three years) with study load worth
22 credits in each semester. . The students have to select any Three Disciplines for study as per their interest
in which they want to obtain their bachelor’s degree in Science. They have to make a conscious decision of
choosing the Disciplines they want to study since the Disciplines once chosen in first semester will have to be
studied in the subsequent semesters also. In each semester, the students have to choose 4 courses in all from
different categories of courses. The courses given in pairs need to be taken in pairs only. While the
courses under CC and DSE Categories are of 6 credits each, the courses under AEC and SEC are of 4 credits
each. Therefore, the study load in each semester will come out to 22 credits. While the detailed nomenclature
and number of credits for different courses have been presented earlier, the following Table presents the CODES
of Courses available as option in each semester from different categories of courses with credit load:
| Semester/Credits | Core Courses(6 x 12=72 Cr.) | Discipline Specific Electives (6×6=36 cr.) | Ability Enhancement Courses (4 x2= 8 cr.) |
Skill Enhancement Courses (4 x4=16 cr.) |
