Abstract
BSc Programme in Physics-under Choice based Credit Semester System-Revised Syllabus for 2013
admission onwards- approved -implemented-w.e.f 2013 admission-Orders issued.
ORDER
As per University Order read as first, the Choice based Credit Semester System was
implemented in all UG programmes in affiliated colleges of the University with effect from 2009
admission.
Vide paper read as second, the syllabus of BSc programme in Physics was implemented from
2009 admission onwards.
Vide paper read as third the modified course structure and syllabus of BSc programme in
Physics with effect from 2009 admission with out affecting the total credit of 120 and total contact
hours(25 hours per week and 450 hours per semester) was implemented.
The Board of Studies in Physics UG, vide paper read as fourth, resolved to approve the
Revised syllabus of BSc programme in Physics, with effect from 2013 admissions.The Faculty of
Science in its meeting held on 22-3-13 also approved the item.
The Vice-Chancellor considering the exigency,exercising the powers of the Academic Council,
has approved the item no.1 of the minutes, to implement the syllabus, subject to ratification by the
Academic council.
Sanction has, therefore, been accorded for implementing the Revised Syllabus of BSc
Programme in Physics with effect from 2013 admissions.
Orders are issued accordingly. Syllabus is avilable in the University website: www.universityof

The syllabus is drafted to generate new concepts with practical thinking and multi
dimensional applicability of physics in other science programmes so as to empower
students who have undergone grading system of education at under graduate level.
It is restructured in order to correlate the concepts of physics with other core programmes
and also to generate exhaustive interest in physics course through series of activities like
problem solving, active participation in laboratory programme, smart class room lectures
etc.. semesters,.
At the time of external examination, a student has to produce certified rough record with a
minimum of 75% of the experiments, listed in the syllabus. No fair record is required.
