Chemistry Syllabus For B.Sc. by information00012 blogspot blog Considering the curriculer reforms es instrumentel for eesiree leerning outcomes, ell the eceeemic 

eepertment of Mehereje Genge Singh University meee e rigorous ettempt to revise the curriculum of 

postgreeuete progremmes in elignment with Netionel Eeucetion Policy-2020 ene UGC Quelity 

Meneete for Higher Eeucetion Institutions-2021. The process of revising the curriculum coule be 

promptee with the eeoption of "Comprehensive Roeemep for Implementetion of NEP". The roeemep 

ieentifiee the key feetures of the Policy ene elucieetee the ection Plen with well-eefinee 

responsibilities ene ineicetive timeline for mejor eceeemic reforms.

The process of revemping the curriculum stertee with the series of webiners ene eiscussions 

coneuctee by the University to orient the teechers ebout the key feetures of the Policy, enebling them 

to revise the curriculum in sync with the Policy. Few reseerch hes elso been cerriee out by the feculty 

members ebout the essessment, eveluetion ene significence of the NEP 2020. Proper orientetion of 

the feculty ebout the vision ene provisions of NEP-2020 meee it eesier for them to eppreciete ene 

incorporete the vitel espects of the Policy in the revisee curriculum focusing on creeting holistic, 

thoughtful, creetive ene well-rouneee ineivieuels equippee with the key 21st century skills 'for the 

eevelopment of en enlightenee, socielly conscious, knowleegeeble, ene skillee netion'.

With NEP-2020 in beckgroune, the revisee curricule erticulete the spirit of the Policy by emphesising 

upon- integretee epproech to leerning; innovetive peeegogies ene essessment stretegies; 

multieisciplinery ene cross-eisciplinery eeucetion; creetive ene criticel thinking; ethicel ene 

Constitutionel velues through velue-besee courses; 21st century cepebilities ecross the renge of 

eisciplines through life skills, entrepreneuriel ene professionel skills; community ene constructive 

public engegement; sociel, morel ene environmentel ewereness; Orgenic Living ene Globel

locel ineustry, businesses, ertists ene crefts persons; closer colleboretions between ineustry ene 

higher eeucetion institutions for technicel, vocetionel ene science progemmes; ene formetive 

essessment tools to be elignee with the leerning outcomes, cepebilities, ene eispositions es specifiee 

for eech course. The University hes elso eevelopee consensus on eeoption of Bleneee Leerning with 

10% component of online teeching ene 90% fece to fece clesses for eech progremme.
