IMPORTANT NOTES

• The unsuccessful candidates at the P.G. Examinations of a particular year are required to reappear for those papers/examinations only as per the syllabus of that year. The repeaters are therefore advised to preserve the syllabus and study material until they pass the final year of the Programme.
• For science students with practicals, practical courses and practical exams are mandatory. However, his / her completion of the course will be declared only after he/she completes the practical course and exam of the years concerned.
• Candidates will have to complete all the exams within double the duration of the course (and not the number of attempts). The double the duration is reckoned from the year of registration.

• Study material provided is only to guide and help the students in the concerned subject. Students are advised to make use of reference books in the list of books provided along with Syllabus.
