BS-MS program
The BS MS program offers basic courses in all Sciences for the first four semesters I-IV of
the program. This is followed by advanced courses at MS level, in semesters V-VIII where
students have the option to choose their courses based on their intertest and inclination. In
the final year, students do a research project leading to MS thesis.
The basic courses of 3 credits offered in semesters I-IV, have 3 contact hours per week, with
two lectures and one tutorial session, while lab courses have one session of 3 hours per
week.
ISERT follows an open curriculum, with students having the freedom of choosing their
courses and planning their curriculum. The advanced courses are of two types, with 4 credits
and 3 credits, and they can be lecture /lab(experimental/computer) courses. The ones with
4 credits course are core courses having 40 lectures /contact hours in one semester. They
are aimed at providing basic and in depth understanding of the subject. Courses with 3
credits get 30 lectures/contact hours in one semester and they can be interdisciplinary or
advanced or specialized in contents.
The courses offered with their codes, names and credits (in brackets)are listed below. The
details of courses offered like contents, assessment pattern, and books for study and
reference will be provided before the start of each semester. Students can also refer to the
BS-MS Guidebook for details.
