out the planned research work, expected outcomes and bibliography. Research projects can be
taken up in collaboration with industry from within the discipline or across the discipline

Chem.492 Research 0+8

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

The prime aim of this course is to:
 Collecting and Analyzing the Data and/or Designing and Validating the
methods/experiments/Design
 Drawing Conclusions and Giving Recommendations
 Prepare dissertation/thesis/report on the proposed research work

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

At the end of Dissertation students will be able to:
 Demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of scientific research pertaining to the area of study
 Demonstrate experimental/theoretical research capabilities based on rigorous hands-on
training
 Critically analyze, interpret and present the data in light of existing scientific knowledge to
arrive at specific conclusions
 Develop higher order thinking skills required for pursuing higher studies (Ph.D.)/research-
oriented career options in respective fields.
Students will carry out their research work under the supervision of a faculty member. Students
will interact with the supervisors through meetings and presentations on a regular basis. After
completion of the research work, students will complete the dissertation under the guidance of the
supervisor. The dissertation will include literature review, hypothesis, objectives, methodology,
results, discussion, and bibliography.

Chem.493 Academic Project 0+4

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

The primary aim of this course is to:
 review the Research in the subject area.
 Analyse data and other research findings.
 Report research findings in written form.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

After completion of course, students will have hand on experience of
1. Literature survey on advanced research topics in Chemistry and its allied discipline
2. Planning and designing the experiment and theoretical modelling of the research Problem
3. Analysis and evaluation of the experimental data/ theoretical & computational modelling
Deduction and systematic presentation of the results
4. Compilation of the results / information to produce written document
5. Defending the results of the project in an open viva–voice through power point
presentation
All the Chemistry honours students will do a supervised Chemistry Project as an important
culmination of training in Chemistry learning and research. The project will aim to introduce
student to the basics and methodology of research in chemistry, which is done via theory,
computation, and experiments either all together or separately by one of these approaches. It is
intended to give research exposure to students.
