The nutritionist plays an increasingly important role as health has become a mainstream and topical issue in society. The
programme is a scientific study of health and chemical aspects of food. It provides a strong academic training in nutrition
and the related disciplines of food science, physiology, biochemistry and microbiology. Students will get a thorough
understanding of the role of diet and nutrition in health and the prevention of major diseases.
The programme content is wide and varied, ranging from the key scientific properties of food to the development of
new and innovative food products. It provides an exciting opportunity for students to develop an in-depth scientific
understanding of food, as well as important critical thinking and innovation skills needed by the food industry.
The programme is designed to provide an understanding of both the biological and social science perspectives. Students
receive basic theoretical and practical training in three major areas—Public Health Nutrition, Dietetics & Food Science and
Quality Control—which can be their chosen career specializations for further postgraduate or doctoral research study.

M.Sc. in Data Science and Computing
The programme consists of comprehensive courses in core and advanced computing. Some of the main areas include
Computer Architecture, System Software, Theoretical Computer Science, Web and Computer Networks, Mathematics,
Databases, Technology and Programming. Students also have a wide choice of electives in the final semester.
The strong foundational learning in theory will be supplemented by skill development via practicals, programming and
exposure to real world situations through the software projects in the last semester. Students will also learn to embrace
cutting-edge technologies related to computer science. They will also get ample opportunities for creative expression
via seminars where they will be expected to present (written as well as oral) new topics, new inventions, and articles from
magazines and research journals related to advanced topics in computing.
Graduates of the programme will be well-equipped to pursue postgraduate programmes in the field of computer science,
such as M.Sc. in Computer Science, Master of Computer Applications, M.Sc. in Computer Science and Applications, M.Sc. in
Data Science and Computing, etc.

This programme leads to the integrated postgraduate programmes in (subject to meeting the eligibility criteria):
M.Sc. in Mathematics (Men and Women) / M.Sc. in Physics (Men only) / M.Sc. in Chemistry (Men only)
› In the first two years of study, all three subjects (Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry) are taught.
› In the third year, the subject (students will take courses in only that subject) of specialization will determine the final
degree awarded: B.Sc. (Hons.) in Mathematics, B.Sc. (Hons.) in Physics, or B.Sc. (Hons.) in Chemistry.
Honours in Mathematics (Year 3): Students strengthen their basics of Mathematics as they pursue advanced courses such
as Abstract Algebra, Linear Algebra, sophistications of Complex analysis, Topology, Numerical Methods etc. and software
laboratory courses such as Introduction to C Programming and Data Structure and File handling using C during the last
two semesters. Those who wish to pursue Computer Science may choose elective courses from a list of well structured
elective courses. Moreover, students with eligible CGPA at the Honours level with creditable performance will get admitted
to the M.Sc. in Mathematics programme. Besides getting very good training in Mathematics, this programme provides
opportunities to Mathematics graduates for specialization in Computer Science or Actuarial Science.
Honours in Physics (Year 3): The programme has been designed to provide a strong foundation in fundamental physics
concepts that form the very basis of advanced scientific inventions. The curriculum presents a blend of science and
technology, with the physics courses complimented by adequately equipped laboratory experiments and supplemented
by lessons in advanced electronics and microprocessors. The program aims at inspiring students to further pursue science
at the Masters level and beyond.
Honours in Chemistry (Year 3): The emphasis is on teaching the fundamental principles of Chemistry that cover topics
under each of the major branches of Chemistry such as Inorganic, Organic and Physical, and giving training in appropriate
experimental methods. Electives (including interdepartmental) are being introduced for Chemistry Honours students that
enable the incorporation of emerging fields into the syllabus as and when the need arises. The graduating student will be
exposed to almost every aspect of the subject - Theoretical, Applied, Instrumental, Computational and Experimental.

The M.A. in English Language and Literature is designed to inspire students to appreciate first-hand, the varieties and
shades of language and style and various kinds and trends of imaginative writing in Modern English Literature (1500 to
the present day). Over the course of the programme, students will learn how to train their critical taste and judgment in
such a way that they are able to respond sympathetically and imaginatively to diverse literary trends and movements.
Concurrently, their ability to arrive at an impersonal and dispassionate evaluation of a given work of art and/or a given
writer will be honed. They will gain the skills necessary to be aware of problems, limitations and strengths implicit in
the appreciation of English language and literature, and learn how to write effectively and cogently while expressing
themselves either in critical or in creative writing.

Optoelectronics has been deemed as the 21st century revolutionary technology that will create as enormous an impact as
electronics did in the 20th century. This interdisciplinary M.Tech programme aims to generate trained professionals in the
broad areas of optoelectronics and communications with an emphasis on networking technologies. One half of the courses
are core ones and the other half are electives, that enable students to pursue areas that have their academic interest. The
core courses give a strong background of science and engineering. These are supplemented with laboratory courses,
enabling the students to take up project work in the second year. Graduates with training in optoelectronics and related
communication technologies will be useful in industries and R&D organizations involved in the areas of Optoelectronics,
telecommunication & networks.
