Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) – 3 Year Programme

NEP 2020 Aligned Undergraduate Programme

Course Description

The Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) is a three-year undergraduate programme designed to provide students with a strong foundation in scientific knowledge, analytical thinking, practical skills, digital literacy, research aptitude, and problem-solving abilities.

The programme follows the broad principles of National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, particularly its emphasis on multidisciplinary and holistic education, flexible curriculum, skill development, experiential learning, research, internships, community engagement, and employability. NEP 2020 recognizes the importance of integrating sciences with mathematics, technology, humanities, vocational education and other disciplines to develop well-rounded graduates.

The exact major/minor combination, credits, course codes, examination scheme and degree-awarding university should be mapped to the regulations of the university through which the B.Sc. degree is actually awarded.
