Program Requirement
Semester 1:
- Four core courses and two allied courses
- Community Development Program will commence.
Semester 2 :
- Four core courses and two allied courses
- Community Development Program will be evaluated.
Semester 3:
- Four elective courses and one allied course.
- Multidisciplinary / Open Elective offered by other departments.
- Internship.
Semester 4 :

Testing & Evaluation
The performance of the student will be assessed throughout the semester. Evaluations will be based on continuous internal assessment (CIA) and end-semester examinations (ESE).
Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA):
Core Paper: 30 marks (Theory) + 15 marks (Practical)
Theory marks will be based on a written exam and oral presentations / assignments. The practical component is assessed by a pre-final examination and class record.
Allied Paper: 15 marks
Theory marks will be based on a written exam and oral presentations / assignments.
End-Semester Examination (ESE): 70 marks (Theory) + 35 marks (Practical)
There are two sections for theory:
For Core Paper
Section A: Students will have to answer four questions for 05 marks each.
Section B: Students will have to answer five questions for 10 marks each.
Practical exam: Students will be assessed for their performance and a viva voce.
For Allied Paper
Section A: Students will have to answer four questions for 05 marks each.
Section B: Students will have to answer three questions for 10 marks each.
Project report (200 marks)
In the third and fourth semesters, students will work on a topic of their choice, under the academic supervision of a faculty member. They will be evaluated on the basis of their performance, quantum of work, written report and viva.
An M. Sc. degree will be awarded when a student has passed all courses and completed the Community Development Program, Internship and Project.
