Introduction

There has been a continuous effort at the national level to upgrade the standard of college education. It is realized that our existing BSc program does not meet international standards. The Higher Education Commission has recommended a four-year BS program to be followed by a two-year MS program. The BS degree is considered equivalent to MSc Chemistry. However, BS degree holders are given preference for the relevant job over MSc graduates as their knowledge is more focused on chemistry. It is a major structural change in our existing educational system. The country will enormously benefit from the fruits of this change in terms of improved and balanced knowledge and skill.

Eligibility Criteria
