Scheme of Studies for MS / MPhil / MPhil leading to PhD
(Zoology) Two / Four Years Programme
The courses under Annexure V are proposed for MPhil and PhD students of the
Department of Zoology, Shaheed Benazir Bhutto University. Each MPhil and PhD
student shall be required to complete Courses of 24 Credit hours, and 12 Credit hours of
Research work. Students having MS/MPhil from HEC recognized Universities will be
exempted from the 24 Credit hours of Course work, if admitted to PhD Programme.
The subjects will be offered depending upon the expertise available in the University.
Qualifying CGPA for research will be 3.
The following courses are proposed for MPhil, MS and PhD Programme
