As per U.O. referred (4) above, sanction was accorded for the
discontinuance of semesrer system in the University departments
from 1981 admission onwards, for M.A /M.Sc.iM.Com. courses and
for the new unified scheme and syliabi being introduced in the
University departments and affiliated colleges.
2 The Academic Council at its meeting held on 27-6-81 had
approved the new scheme and syllabi, for science subjects at P.G.
level, subject to the recommendations df the Faculty of Science.
3 Sanction is therefore accorded for tha introdrrction of unified
scheme and syllabi for M. Sc courses, in the University departments
and affiliated colleges, effective from 1981 admissions.
4 The details of the new scheme and syllabi of M. Sc. Mathematics Physlcs, Chemistry, Zoology and Botany are appended to
this order.

Practical Examination
1 Practical Examinations shall be of six hours duration.
2 Students shall do error analysis except for electronics oracticals.
Students will not be reqrrirerJ to maintain or present "fair" reiord
books. But, they shall have to mainiain a record work rarhich
shall have entered in ii all work re:ords of daily lab work ro be
signed by the supervising teacher. The notings in the book shall
rncJude observatlons, calculations, results and error analysis.
ihe book shall he presented for evaluation by the examiners.
The above guidelines shall be applicable to project work also.
ln regard to elilctronics practicals lt was specially observed
that students will be expected to become farniliar with the usage
of multimeters. prlse generatots and oscilloscopes.
