FOUR-YEARUNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMME (FYUGP) IN CHEMISTRY,
DIBRUGARH UNIVERSITY
THE PREAMBLE
Education aims to develop an individual into a human being through moral, spiritual, and
cultural development. It also aims to the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and attitudesto
adjust properly to one's environment. In a broader sense, it is an instrument to achieve
larger societal goals. In addition to these, education has further responsibility of
developing core competencies such as communication skills required to articulate
thoughts and ideas effectively, using oral and written communication skills, and
presenting information and explanations in a well-structured manner.
Change is the law of nature. With the continuously changing society, the nature and
scope of education also change and widen. Since education plays a crucial role in the
development of social issues all-around, must be up-to-date to address all these
problems.Educators and educational practitioners should also change them accordingly.
The main purpose of the Undergraduate Programme in Chemistry is to familiarize
students with basic-level to high-level Chemistry which connects the post-graduate
program. Significant efforts are given to motivate students to do researchin Chemistry.
Due importance is also given to the study of application-oriented topics which is very
much relevant and useful to the present scenario.
INTRODUCTION
Undergraduate programmes were traditionally conceived as preparation for post-
graduation. The rigidity in choosing subjects through fixed combinations had to be
reconsidered. The aspects of all-round development of the students, skill acquisition
outside chosen subjects and research were undermined but the National Education
Policy-2020 (NEP-2020) has changed all of these in one stroke. The NEP- 2020
recognizes that higher education plays an extremely important role in promoting human
as well as societal well-being and in developing India as envisioned in its Constitution. It
states that quality higher education must aim to develop good, thoughtful, well-rounded,
and creative individuals.
Page 3 of 44
The curriculum at undergraduate and FYUGP therefore, has incorporated certain new
components of learning to make it relevant to contemporary society and modern practices
by integrating the humanities and arts with Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics (STEM). It is expected that it will show positive learning outcomes,
including increased creativity and innovation, problem-solving abilities, teamwork,
communication skills, more in-depth learning, and increases social and moral
awarenessbesides increased employability.
The prominent features of the NEP framework are:
1. Flexibility in choosing subjects and even disciplines for the graduate programmes
2. Vertical and horizontal mobility across subjects throughout the programme
3. Multiple entry and exit points
4. Main-streaming of skill-based courses
5. Credit-based evaluation system
6. Integration of research into 4th year of the programme leading to an Honours degree.
The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry degree of Dibrugarh University adapted as per the
recommendations of NEP 2020 will also be of either a three or four-year duration, with
multiple exit options within the period with appropriate certification. After completion of
one year a UG certificate, completion of two years a UG diploma, and after completion of
three years, a Bachelor’s degree in the programme will be provided to the students. The four-
year undergraduate programme in chemistry will allow the student an opportunity to
experience the full range of holistic and multidisciplinary education, along with the chosen
Major and Minor choices of the students.
