The 3-year B.Sc. programme under Four Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP) has been offered to cater to the growing demands of quality education and employable workforce with science background. This programme has been designed in view of NEP 2020 with a semester approach in mind.

The programme aims to provide high quality higher education in multidisciplinary subjects through the open and distance learning mode by providing a broad-spectrum exposure to the students to a variety of interesting theoretical and practical concepts which will help the in acquiring knowledge with a wider perspective. Thus, by providing opportunities for career progression and higher education in science disciplines, the programme will be in alignment with learner needs and societal requirements.

Programme Objectives

Learners pursuing this programme would be able to:

• foster deep interest in learning Science subjects. 
• develop broad and balanced knowledge and understanding of definitions, concepts, principles and theorems. 
• familiarize with suitable learning methods to handle issues and problems in sciences. 
• enhance the ability to apply the knowledge and skills acquired by them during the programme to solve specific theoretical and applied problems in science. 
• provide sufficient knowledge and skills enabling to undertake further studies in science.
• develop a range of generic skills helpful in employment, internships and social activities. 
• appreciate the complex interplay between science and society.

Note:
1. In disciplines such as Botany, Chemistry, Geology, Physics and Zoology, where Laboratory work is
compulsory, a 6 Credit Course is offered as a combination of two Courses in the same subject area: a 4
Credits Theory Course and a 2 Credits Laboratory Course. Both these courses in a given subject area of
a discipline are to be taken together compulsorily.
2. Every course offered by the Mathematics discipline, which does not require Laboratory work, is a
single course of 6 Credits.
3. In the Geography discipline, some subject areas do require Laboratory works whereas, some subject
areas do not require any Laboratory work. Therefore, the Courses of the Geography discipline are of
two types: some Courses (which require Laboratory work) are combination of 4 Credits Theory Course
and 2 Credits Laboratory Course in the same subject area (which are to be taken together compulsorily)
and some Courses (which do not require Laboratory work) are of 6 Credits each.
Suggestions for the Candidates:
 A learner can choose any of the three disciplines as per her/his choices from the 7
disciplines, i.e., Botany, Chemistry, Geography, Geology, Mathematics, Physics and
Zoology for completing B. Sc. (Multi-Disciplinary) Programme under FYUP Scheme.
 The learner has full freedom to select any combinations of three disciplines out of seven
disciplines mentioned above. But we suggest some of the popular combinations which
are presently on offer in Indian Universities.
 The suggested combinations of 3-disciplines to be chosen by the learners in 3-Year B.
Sc. (Multidisciplinary) Programme under FYUP Scheme are as follows:
1. Botany - Chemistry - Geology
2. Botany - Chemistry - Zoology

3. Botany - Geography – Geology
4. Botany - Geography - Zoology
5. Chemistry - Geography - Geology
6. Chemistry - Geology – Physics
7. Chemistry - Geology – Zoology
8. Chemistry - Mathematics – Physics
9. Geography - Mathematics - Physics
10. Geography - Geology – Zoology
11. Geology - Mathematics - Physics
