Only those students who have scored 400 marks during Ist year (I and II semester combined) taking not more than a total of 32 credits will be allowed to take up the field dissertation.
There are 4 majoring areas out of which a student is required to opt for one Majoring area only. He /She will be required to take up four courses in that particular Majoring area with the break up: one each in second and third semesters and two in fourth semester. A student who opts for a particular Majoring area in the second semester will not be allowed to change the area subsequently. Course offering depends upon the availability of faculty during a particular semester. Out of the Open courses/dissertation, each student is required to take up 3 additional courses (over and above the required courses and courses in the Majoring areas, as indicated above). In any given semester a student will ordinarily have to take four courses.
