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 programme does not meet international standards. The Higher Education Commission has recommended a four year BS programme to be followed by a two-year MS programme. 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.
The department of Chemistry offers the best facilities for this programme in the country. Its new labs and modern equipment together with qualified faculty makes it place to which students would like to be a part of it.
OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this programme are:
- To provide a nurturing environment that facilitates and stimulate the active and explorative learning of Chemistry for the students.
- To provide chemical knowledge and laboratory skills required for professional chemist.
- To contribute to national effort in human resource development. Currently department of Chemistry is offering following programs.
SCHEME OF STUDIES
The BS program is minimum of four years duration, split into eight semesters. In the first four semesters, the main emphasis will be on basic chemistry, general and compulsory subjects. In the 5th and 6th semesters, Physical, Inorganic, Organic and Analytical Chemistry will be offered as core courses. The specialized courses will be dealt in the 7th and 8th semester with specialization in Organic, Inorganic/Analytical and Physical Chemistry.
Eligibility Criteria
- FSc with Chemistry as one of the major subject.
- DAE (Diploma Holders) in Chemical Engineering / Chemical Technology from a Polytechnic Institute.
- “A”-Level with Chemistry or Equivalent.
Selection Process
Selected candidates will be granted admission subjected to fulfill the eligibility criteria.
