OUTLINES OF TESTS, SYLLABI AND COURSES OF READING FOR

M.Sc. FIRST YEAR (SEMESTER-I) EXAMINATION OF 2013
OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE
To teach the fundamental concepts of Chemistry and their applications. The
syllabus pertaining to M.Sc. (1st Year, General, Semester System) in the subject of
Chemistry has been upgraded as per provision of the UGC module and demand of the
academic environment. The course contents have been revised from time to time as per
suggestions of the teachers of the Chemistry working in the Panjab University,
Chandigarh and affiliated colleges. The syllabus contents are duly arranged unit wise and
contents are included in such a manner so that due importance is given to requisite
intellectual and laboratory skills.
First Year: There will be two Semesters in a year. Examination will be held at the end of
each semester.
