Generic Elective:
Objective of Generic Elective:
The aim of bachelor’s degree programme in chemistry is intended to provide:
-
-
- Broad and balance knowledge in chemistry in addition to understanding of key chemical concepts, principles and theories.
- To develop students’ ability and skill to acquire expertise over solving both theoretical and applied chemistry problems.
- To provide knowledge and skill to the students’ thus enabling them to undertake further studies in chemistry in related areas or multidisciplinary areas that can be helpful for self-employment/entrepreneurship.
- To provide an environment that ensures cognitive development of students in a holistic manner. A complete dialogue about chemistry, chemical equations and its significance is fostered in this framework, rather than mere theoretical aspects.
- To provide the latest subject matter, both theoretical as well as practical, such a way to foster their core competency and discovery learning. A chemistry graduate as envisioned in this framework would be sufficiently competent in the field to undertake further discipline-specific studies, as well as to begin domain-related employment.

Teaching Methodology:
“Laboratory activities appeal as a way of allowing students to learn with understanding and at the same time engage in the process of constructing knowledge by doing science”- this citation is used to apply practically in the department.In the laboratory students carry out hand on experiments. The department has laboratories for both honours and general students.
Throughout the year internal assessments are taken at regular intervals by the department to test the development of the students. The internal assessment procedure divides the syllabus in smaller parts and assesses the individual student’s development in the selected part of the syllabus. The continuous process of evaluation also prepares the student for the final examination.
After completion of each topic group discussions are arranged for the students to develop clear concept of that concerned topic.
Along with the traditional chalk and board method the department has also ICT based classroom. All classes whether it is theory or practical- are taken routine wise by the teachers in an interactive way. Students are constantly encouraged to ask questions and clarify their doubts.

- Strategies for slow learners:
Slow learners are identified from result sheet and then special remedial classes are taken to improve their performance.
The department has its own departmental library. Students can access that library as a major learning resource. Again the central library is the main resource of their learning.
To give the facility of learning from home for the students the department conducts online classes via Google Meet.Students are provided notes on a dedicated portal from where they can access the study materials as per their needs. Students can also ask questions in this portal which are being accessed by the teachers. The faculty members have regular access to the N-LIST, so they can be updated with recent researches. Online tests are also organised to evaluate the depth of knowledge of the students. Again N-LIST is also available for the studentsto access e-journal and e-book.
