Syllabus Sem2

Course Curriculum for One year Diploma in Nautical Science (DNS) leading to B.Sc.
(Applied Nautical Science) Degree

Credit System
The University follows the “Credit System” for its programmes. Each credit in the DNS Nautical Science program is equivalent to 15 hours of study comprising all learning activities
which include reading and comprehension, listening to audio, watching videos, attending counseling sessions, teleconferencing, and writing assignment responses. Thus, a four credit
course involves 60 study hours. This helps the student to understand the academic efforts one has to put in, in order to successfully complete a course. Completion of an
academic programme requires successful clearing of both the assignments and the term end examination of each course in the programme. The course outline and timetable provide
guidance on the time allocation for the course material, but the faculty teaching the subject is free to make adjustments as necessary.
