Our students in this University, irrespective of their majors, take courses within the College of Sciences at least for a period of three semesters. This fact puts a burden on our shoulders to succeed in preparing students for their studies. I appreciate the efforts of all the members of the College and expect more from them to ponder upon these challenges and to assess as to what extent we are successful in achieving these goals.
Science education is a dynamic process.
The state of art in Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, and Earth Sciences is constantly changing in recent times. Though we call them basic sciences, the very basics are being re-emphasized and are constantly reviewed in our quest for excellence. It is essential that our undergraduate and graduate programs are re-evaluated, internally as well as externally, to keep pace with recent advances in science and technology. Keeping these objectives in view, an evaluation has been done in the College with the approval of H.E. the Rector of the University. A team from University of California, Berkley visited our departments in the College and evaluated its program.
