Scheme of Examinations

Internal and External Assessment as per CBSS of University of Mumbai

Note:
 Two short field excursions for habitat studies are compulsory.
Field work of not less than eight hours duration is equivalent to one
period per week for a batch of 15 students.
 A candidate will be allowed to appear for the practical examinations only
if he/she submits a certified journal of F.Y.B.Sc. Botany or a certificate
from the Head of the department / Institute to the effect that the candidate
has completed the practical course of F.Y.B.Sc. Botany as per the
minimum requirements. In case of loss of journal a candidate must
produce a certificate from the Head of the department /Institute that the
practicals for the academic year were completed by the student. However
such a candidate will be allowed to appear for the practical examination
