B.Sc. Programme (Life Sciences & Physical Sciences)

CIC: Dr Niyati Singh (L.Sc.) & CIC: Mr Munish (P.Sc.)

The B.Sc. Programme in Gargi College is a multi-disciplinary course offering an undergraduate of four years under NEP Scheme. The programme gives a comprehensive foundation in each of the subjects offered, building the necessary skills and knowledge needed to move further in the field of sciences, research and explore in multi-dimensional fields.   

 

B.Sc. Life Sciences is an interdisciplinary course offering courses in three disciplines, namely Botany, Chemistry and Zoology, which the students are taught with equal emphasis. The Botany and Zoology department offers in-depth study of plant/ animal cells, microorganisms and biodiversity. Areas like anatomy, physiology, immunology, genetics and taxonomy are covered with latest biotechnology and microbiology applications. The Chemistry component encompasses the entire spectrum of chemical preview via inorganic, organic, physical and analytical chemistry along with green, biochemistry, forensic and cosmetics chemistry. It may help in exploring the medicinal, clinical and instrumental approach for higher studies.

B.Sc. Life Sciences usually combine theoretical knowledge with practical laboratory work, field studies and research projects to provide students with hands-on experiences and skills development. The course aims to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills in students. Simultaneous learning of the three subjects allows students to better analyze the world around them. After completing a B.Sc. in Life Sciences, graduates can pursue various career paths or higher education, including:

6. Higher studies like M.Sc., M.Phil., or Ph.D. in specialised areas of life sciences.
6. Research positions in laboratories or institutions.
6. Environmental conservation and management roles.
6. Teaching and academic roles in schools or colleges.
6. Career in scientific policy-making, healthcare and pharmaceutical industries.

 

B.Sc. Physical Sciences:

It is an interdisciplinary course offering courses in three disciplines, namely Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. The programme gives a comprehensive foundation in each of the three subjects offered, providing the necessary knowledge and skills needed for pursuing a higher education in any of these subjects. The Physics department offers a wide spectrum of subjects ranging from the Classical/Newtonian mechanics to the present Quantum Mechanics This includes classical mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and other advanced topics in physics. The Department of Chemistry covers everything from Organic to Inorganic chemistry, Physical to Analytical chemistry along with instrumental analysis. Last but not the least, the Department of Mathematics, is like a backbone for any course in Physical Sciences. Students get to learn subjects like Calculus, Algebra, Differential Equations etc.

B.Sc. Physical Sciences aim to develop critical thinking, problem-solving and analytical skills in students. The interdisciplinary nature of the course allows students to explore the connections between physics/chemistry with maths, providing a strong foundation for further studies or careers in scientific research, education, industry, or various other fields. After completing a B.Sc. in Physical Sciences, graduates can pursue various career paths or further education, including:

6. Higher studies like M.Sc., M.Phil. or Ph.D. in physics, chemistry, maths or related fields.
6. Research positions in laboratories or institutions.
6. Teaching and academic roles in schools or colleges.
6. Opportunities in industries related to technology, materials science, electronics, and many more.
6. Pursuing a career in scientific communication or policy-making.

The B.Sc. Programme gives you amicable exposure to each of the fields, building the basic framework in each of the subjects offered and letting you explore and study the fields of botany, zoology, physics, maths and chemistry. The programme gives you strong theoretical as well as practical fundamentals in all the core subjects which builds a firm basis for your further studies. The course allows you to familiarise yourself with different fields and strengthen the basics and allows the students to explore their potential. Students may also have the opportunity to choose elective courses based on their interests and career goals via SEC, VAC, GE and DSE papers.  There are some undergraduate research projects under Pathfinder, Star College and other schemes done by the students under the guidance of expert faculty members.

The Course-Coordinators for the course are: Dr Niyati Singh (Department of Chemistry) and Mr Munish (Department of Physics)

ZENITH ASSOCIATION (BSc Programme Association) is the combined academic society of the both L.Sc. & P.Sc. students serving as the link between students and the teachers. Association activities are looked by the selected student union members by the students of respective courses.
