BACHELOR DEGREE INSCIENCE: (B.Sc)

1. SPO-1 Knowledge: Learners are encouraged to apply the knowledge of mathematics and science
fundamentals to various solutions of complex problems. As such, knowledge of the subject is the
sole objective of any student learner. A student is exposed to a wide range of topics in various
subjects and is given intensive training in each of the courses that have laboratory related work.
The learner is encouraged to use various mathematical methods (analytical and numerical) and
experimental methods as an application to the acquired concepts and principles that help in
studying various branches of sciences. At the end of the program, students are able to gain thorough
knowledge in key areas in the subjects offered.

2. SPO-2 Problem Analyses: Well equipped with an understanding of the analytical methods
involved, they are in a position to interpret and analyze results so obtained from experiments and
draw suitable conclusions against their supported data acquired. At the end of the program, students
will be able to identify, formulate and analyze scientific problems and reach concrete solutions
using various principles of mathematics and sciences.

3. SPO-3 Designing Solutions: Having acquired knowledge of subjects, students are trained to think
out of the box, design and conduct an experiment or a series of experiments that demonstrate their
understanding of the methods and processes involved.

4. SPO-4 Modern tool usage: Learners are trained to create, select, and apply appropriate
techniques, resources and IT tools in the analysis and synthesis of data within limitations.
(Outcome of final year project).

5. SPO-5 Effective Communication: Proficiency in speaking, reading, writing and listening in

English and one Indian language and find meaning of the world by connecting people, ideas, books,
media and technology.

6. SPO-6 Employability: This programme enables the learners to perform the jobs in diverse fields
such as science, engineering, industries, survey, education, banking, development-planning,
business, public service, self business etc. efficiently.They will also be able to appear for
competitive examinations

7. SPO-7 Ethics: While it is necessary to instil the spirit of competitiveness among students in a
world of increasing competition, it is equally vital to develop a strong sense of ethics among
learners that will help them develop some positive attitudes and values. This includes appreciation
of the various principles and theories that evolved in science, the impact that science has on social,

6
 economical and environmental issues. One of the main objectives of any academic exercise,
therefore, should be to produce well-groomed individuals who understand the significance of
ethical values and abide by them even in the most pressing circumstances. In this programme, this
process is enabled through courses and facilitators who integrate the teaching of ethics in everyday
pedagogy. As such, at the end of this programme students will be able to develop, internalise and
exercise ethics in their professional as well as personal practices.

8. SPO-8 Environment and Sustainability: ‘Environmental sustainability’ has become the

watchword of the 21st century. An increased engagement with environment related concerns is
appearing tangibly on global fronts; academics cannot and should not remain quarantined from this
massive development. Through classroom discussions and research projects, this programme
facilitates active dialogues with factors which influence human-ecology interactions. As such, at
the end of this programme students will be able to identify and analyze socio-political, cultural and
economic problems which act as deterrents to environmental sustainability and provide creative
solutions towards the same.

9. SPO-9 Soft-Skill Development: Apart from the attainment of knowledge and hands on skills in
practical applicability of the subject, learners need to be equipped with soft-skills and values which
will help them function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams
and in multidisciplinary groups. These soft skills include leadership, teamwork, project-
management, positive outlook, innovative approaches and effective articulation. Several soft skill
programs are organized for learners through various agencies that tie up with the state government.
As such, at the end of this programme, students will be able to hone the soft-skills required in
positively enhancing their academic, professional and personal pursuits towards self and societal
advancement.

10. SPO-10 Science and Society: The learners are encouraged to apply logical reasoning based on the
knowledge, skills, designing solutions to assess societal, health, safety issues and the
responsibilities that go along with the scientific practice. As an extension activity to society,
learners are encouraged to take up specific projects such as impact of salinity on fresh water wells
in an adopted village, and provide effective solutions.

11. SPO-11 Life-long learning: With the pursuit of knowledge for either personal or professional
reasons, learners are also encouraged to volunteer and be self motivated that not only enhances
society values, active participation and personality development, but also enhances self-
sustainability, competiveness and employability. As such, learners will be able to recognize the
need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in
every broad context of technological changes.
