Elective PROJECT Code: 14233605
SEMESTER VI 5 Hrs/Week Credits 5
Students have to carry out project work under the
guidance of the members of the Zoology Department during VI
semester – 5 hrs per week. Based on the number of staff, the number
of students per batch will be fixed. Project work may be chosen in the
field of Zoology Major. Each batch has to complete the project work in
the month of March. It will be duly signed by the project guide and the
HOD of Zoology. The VIVA on project work will be conducted at the
end of VI semester. The viva on project will be conducted jointly by
Guide, External Examiner, HOD and the members of staff.
