B.Sc. ZOOLOGY PROGRAMME

Programme Objectives

The B.Sc. Zoology programme is designed to help the students to:

Impart basic knowledge of various branches of Zoology and General biology meant both for a graduate terminal course and for higher studies.
Inculcate interest in and love of nature with its myriad living creatures.
Understand the unity of life with the rich diversity of organisms and their ecological and evolutionary significance
Acquire basic skills in the observation and study of nature, biological techniques, experimental skills and scientific investigation
Acquire basic knowledge and skills in certain applied branches to enable them for self employment
Impart awareness of the conservation of the biosphere.

Programme Outcomes

The graduate of this programme should be able to

Identify and list out common animals
Explain various physiological changes in our bodies
Analyze the impact of environment on our bodies
Understand various genetic abnormalities
Develop respect for nature
Explain the role and impact of different environmental conservation programmes
Identify animals beneficial to humans
Identify various potential risk factors to health of humans
Explain the importance of genetic engineering

10. Use tools of information technology for all activities related to zoology

Comments

These outcomes do not naturally get translated into specific courses
Designing courses to meet these outcomes is very difficult task and would constitute significant deviation from the current text book based approaches.

Course structure:

The U.G.programme in Zoology must include (a) Common Courses, (b) Core Courses, (c) Complementary Courses, (d) Open Courses and (e) Project. No course shall carry more than 4 credits. The student shall select any Choice Based Course offered by the Department which offers the core courses, depending on the availability of teachers and infrastructure facilities, in the institution. Open course shall be offered in any subject and the student shall have the option to do courses offered by other Departments/ or by the same Department.

Course coding:

Every course in the programme is coded according to the following criteria.

The first letter plus second letter /another letter from the programme ie., ZY
One digit to indicate the semester. ie., ZY1 (Zoology, 1^st semester)
One letter from the type of courses such as, A for common course, B for core course, C for Complementary course, D for Open course. ie.., ZY1B (Zoology, 1^st semester Core course)
Two digits to indicate the course number of that semester. ie.., ZY1BO1 (Zoology, 1^st semester, Core course, course number is 01)
The letter U to indicate for Under Graduate Programme.
One letter V for the Vocational course
ie., ZY1BO1U (Zoology, 1^st semester, Core course, courses number 01, U for UG Programme)
The letter (P) denotes practical

INVESTIGATORY PROJECT, FIELD STUDY/ (STUDY TOUR) AND GROUP ACTIVITY

A. Study tour/ field study, visit to research institute and various places of zoological Importance

Field study/study tours should be conducted for not less than 6 days (completed during the entire programme), preferably spreading the study in the first to sixth semesters. Students are expected to visit at least 3 research institutes and various places of zoological importance.

B. Group Activity

Students are expected to do one group activity in the fifth semester and submit the report in the sixth semester for external practical examination, along with study tour report

A maximum of ten students can choose any one group activity like aquarium management, vermicomposting, bee keeping, and conduct of zoological exhibitions, designing of posters of zoological importance, surveys related to disease outbreaks, community health programmes or any matter of zoological interest.

C. Project Work

Each student is expected to complete 1 investigatory project in the sixth semester and report shall be submitted for the external practical examination. Viva- Voce will be conducted by the external examiners along with the 6^th semester practical examinations. The projects are to be identified during the second semester of the programme with the help of the supervising teacher, and the work can be started latest by the beginning of the 3^rdsemester. The student has to maintain a log book showing the progress of the project work, duly signed by the supervising teacher, at bimonthly intervals and may be shown to the external examiners on demand.

For A, B and C- total 36 hours and total 1 credit (18 hours in 5^th semester and 18 hours in 6^th semester).

Zero Credit Courses:

Zero Credit courses shall be included in the programme to encourage advanced learners and shall be indicated in the score sheet. Permission for obtaining Zero credit courses shall be in accordance with the rules and regulations of the University. The Zero Credit courses shall be done only under the supervision of a university approved permanent faculty member of the department which offers the core courses.

Examinations:

The evaluation of each course shall contain two parts such as Internal or In-Semester Assessment (IA) and External or End-Semester Assessment (EA). The ratio between internal and external examinations shall be 1:3. The Internal and External examinations shall be evaluated using Direct Grading system based on 5-point scale as given below.

Letter Grade	Performance	Grade point (G)	Grade Range
A	Excellent	4	3.5 to 4.00
B	Very Good	3	2.5 to 3.49
C	Good	2	1.5 to 2.49
D	Average	1	0.5 to 1.49
E	Poor	0	0.00 to 0.49

The overall grade for a programme for certification shall be based on CGPA with a 7-point scale given below

CGPA	Grade
3.80 to 4.00	A+
3.50 to 3.79	A
3.00 to 3.49	B+
2.50 to 2.99	B
