Scheme of Examination
The duration of examination will be 5 hrs.
The following exercise will be set in the examination
Synthesis (any two) 58 marks
Viva 12 marks
Total 70 marks
Synthesis
Students will be allotted two synthesis of 29 marks each. The yield, crystallization and recording of melting point will be given due consideration while awarding marks.
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 understood the basic principles.
