In Chemistry under Semester System
Session 2008-2009
The courses for B. Sc. Honors degree in Chemistry will be offered in four years. Each year will
be divided into two semesters. Each semester consists of eleven weeks (the weeks may not be
contiguous to accommodate various holidays). One lecture or minimum two laboratory hours per
week is assigned as one credit of the course.
The courses are classified into the following groups:
(a) Major courses: At least 60% courses will be offered by the Chemistry Discipline.
(b) Non major courses: At least 20% courses will be offered by other than Chemistry discipline:
Physics, Mathematics, Statistics, Electronics and Computer Science etc,
(c) Other courses as per the University regulation mandatory two language courses (one Bengali
and one English or two English courses)
A student has to complete at least 140 credits to graduate in Chemistry in four years.
Examination system will be according to the University ordinance.

The evaluation of the combined theory and practical courses should be on total credits of the
course or the courses should be separated on theory and practical courses.
