FOREWORD
National Education policy 2020 has been one among the intensely debated policies in the recent times. Given the long
reach of Education as a social and economic transformation tool - more so for a developing nation like ours- the debate it
has garnered in public domain is not surprising that JHARKHAND is among the states in the country to implement NEP
in higher education. But playing the role of a pioneer is not child's play. Transforming the policy into a working
framework and befitting a competent curriculum and syllabus is always a challenging task. The state has come up with the
NEP framework for all the UG programmes starting from the academic year 2022. Undergraduate programmes were
traditionally conceived as preparation for post graduation. Since decades its structure remained unchanged and was long
due for an overhaul. The rigidity in choosing subjects through fixed combinations had to be reconsidered. The aspects of
all-round development of the students, skill acquisition outside chosen subjects and research were undermined but NEP
has changed all of these in one stroke.
The prominent features of the NEP framework are:
I. Flexibility in choosing subjects and even disciplines for the graduate programmes
II. Vertical and horizontal mobility across subjects throughout the programme
III. Multiple entry and exit points
IV. Main-streaming of skill based courses
V. Credit based evaluation system
VI. Integration of research into 4th year of the programme leading to Honours degree
Such radical modifications have put the learner at the centre of the education system. The framework has nudged the
academic faculty to work out syllabi aligned with national standards, if not global. The road map is in place. It is the
implementation of NEP in its letter and spirit that would catalyze raising the bar for the quality in Higher Education. I
place on record my appreciation and regard to all those who were involved in the endeavour of the syllabus
preparation for the undergraduate Chemistry programme of Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee University. The fact that
all efforts have been made to align the syllabus with the NEP structure is further satisfying. I sincerely hope that
periodical revisions will take place in coming years.

Chemistry Syllabus for B.Sc. / B.Sc. (Honours) Programme

Discipline Core: Chemistry Total Credits for the Programme: 160, Year of implementation: 2023-24
Programme Outcomes: By the end of the programme the students will:

1. Understand the basic principles of various branches of Chemistry
2. Demonstrate a range of practical skills to conduct and infer experiments independently and in groups
3. Apply the key concepts and standard methodologies to solve problems related to Chemistry
4. Apply methodologies to the solution of unfamiliar types of problems
5. Exhibit skills leading to employability in Chemistry and allied industries
6. Comprehend the fundamental aspects of research in Chemistry
7. Possess the level of proficiency in subject required for post graduation as well as for pursuing research in Chemistry
and related interdisciplinary subjects
8. Design solutions stemming from the application of Chemistry to the local issues
Salient Features:
1. Introduction to B.Sc. (Hons.) Chemistry

Just like the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS),NEP provides an opportunity to a student to choose courses
from the syllabus comprising Core, Elective and Skill based courses. It offers a flexibility of programme structure
while ensuring that the student gets a strong foundation in the subject and gains in-depth knowledge. The learning
outcome based curriculum framework (LOCF) will provide students with a clear purpose to focus their learning
efforts and enable them to make a well judged choice regarding the course they wish to study. This will suit the
present day needs of students in terms of securing their paths towards higher studies or employment.
2. Programme Duration and Design: The B.Sc. (Hons.) Chemistry course is an eight semester course spread over
four academic years. The teaching – learning process involves theory and practical classes and will be student
centered. Apart from the conventional chalk and talk method, power point presentations, audio – video tools, class
discussions, simulations and virtual labs (wherever possible) will be used. Students will be encouraged to carry
out short term projects and participate in industrial and institutional visits, seminars and workshops. Assessment
will be based on continuous evaluation (class test, presentation, group discussion, quiz, assignment etc.) and end
of semester examination.
Each theory paper will be of 75 marks out of which 15 marks are for internal assessment(in the form of
Mid Sem or similar test ) while a practical paper will be of 25 marks .
3. Learning Outcome-based Curriculum Framework in BSc (Hons.) Chemistry:

The Learning Outcomes-based Curriculum Framework (LOCF) for the B.Sc. (Hons.) degree in Chemistry
provides a broad structural framework that can accommodate the current curricular needs as well as gives
sufficient flexibility to include changes in content that assume importance as the frontiers of science grow. The
inherent flexibility in framework allows design of course basket in tune with individual preferences. The basic
uniformity in core course design ensures smooth movement across universities in the country.
3.1 Nature and Extent of B.Sc. (Hons.) Chemistry: The B.Sc. (Hons.) Chemistry programme covers a wide range of
basic and applied courses as well as courses of interdisciplinary nature.
3
3.2 Aims of the Bachelors Degree Programme in B.Sc. (Hons.) Chemistry: The core courses offered in the
programme aim to build a strong conceptual chemical knowledge base in the students, the contents of electives
and skill enhancement courses help them explore their fitness and suitability to pursue studies in these areas.
4. Graduate Attributes in B.Sc. (Hons.) Chemistry: Though a student pursuing an undergraduate degree in a science
discipline is inherently curiosity driven and has the ability to observe and integrate rationally, here are the
additional attributes that distinguish a student graduating with an honours degree in chemistry.
(i) Disciplinary Knowledge: The student is expected to acquire in-depth knowledge of the various concepts and
theoretical principles and to be aware of their manifestations. An understanding of the centrality of chemistry is
usually evident from familiarity with interfacial disciplines .A graduate in chemistry is expected to be thoroughly
conversant with all basic analytical, qualitative and quantitative laboratory techniques and demonstrate
meticulousness in operation. She/he should be aware of the importance of working with safety and consciousness
in laboratory and actively seeks information about health and environmental safety of chemicals that are used in
the laboratories and follows protocols for their safe disposal.
(ii) Communication skills: Effective communication is a much desirable attribute across courses. However, a chemistry
honours student is expected to assimilate technical information about chemistry from various sources and convey it
to intended audience, both orally and in writing in an intelligible manner.
(iii) Critical thinking: Critical thinking as an attribute enables a student to analyze a problem, assess it, reconstruct it
and solve it.
(iv) Problem solving quality: An integral part of chemistry curriculum is problem solving. The student will be equipped
to solve problems of numerical, synthetic and analytical nature that are best approached with critical thinking.
(v) Analytical reasoning: The student will be able to draw logical conclusions based on a group of observations, facts
and rules.
(vi) Research related skills: The student should be inquisitive about processes and phenomena happening during
experiments in laboratories and seeks answers through the research path.
(vii) Cooperation/Team work: Teams may comprise of peers in classroom, laboratory or any other team of members
from diverse fields. The student should be capable of contributing meaningfully to team ethos and Increasing use
of instruments having interface with computers and use of computers in laboratory work. A student with degree in
chemistry is expected to be able to employ knowledge and skill in computers in a variety of situations- data
analysis, computing as well as information retrieval and library use.
(viii) Scientific reasoning: Students should learn to investigate, experiment, relate information and draw logical
conclusions based on scientific reasoning.
(ix) Reflective thinking: Reflective thinking focuses on the process of making judgments about what has happened. The
students should learn to review their experience and make a plan for future actions in a similar situation with a
view to improve.
(x) Information/digital literacy : This will be an essential bye product of the course.
(xi) Self-directed learning: Students will be encouraged to explore the many sources of information available to them.
Various activities require the students to find relevant information and educate themselves.
(xii) Multicultural competence: The student should recognize that all persons are unique in their own way and must
appreciate the differences in cultural background, religious beliefs, and socio-economic status.
(xiii) Moral and ethical awareness/reasoning: The student should be aware of what constitutes unethical behaviour--
plagiarism, fabrication and misrepresentation or manipulation of data.
(xiv) Leadership readiness/qualities: Leadership is essential in making teamwork into a reality. Working in teams
promotes both teamwork and leadership qualities in the student.
(xv) Lifelong learning: Having a strong conceptual framework in the subject along with the skills of teamwork, analytical
reasoning, problem solving, critical thinking etc. will make the students lifelong learners.
