Scheme of Examination

 

The duration of examination will be 4 hrs.

The following exercises will be set in the examination

 

            Physical experiment                             58 marks

Viva                                                    12 marks

                        Total                                                      70 marks 

1.Physical Chemistry Experiment

The exercise carries 58 marks. The candidates shall be given either one exercise of 58 marks or two exercise of 29 marks each out of exercises prescribed in the syllabus. The exercises in physical chemistry can be modified by the examiner and the same will be explained to the candidates. However, such modifications will not involve any departure from the basic principles over which experiments are prescribed in the syllabus.

The distribution of marks will be as follows:

·       Theory and procedure                           8 marks

·       Correct observation                               18 marks

·       Use of correct formula                           8  marks

·       Calculation                                            16  marks

          Result                                                   8  marks

2.Viva

Oral questions shall generally be asked over the work assigned to the candidate. The purpose is to find out as to what extent the candidate has understanding the basic principles.
