The General Degree students are required to follow only the levels 1, 2 and 3 course modules. Three subject combinations with elective and/or auxiliary course units or two subject combinations with elective and/or auxiliary course units are available in both the Biological Science and the Physical Science streams. In addition, all the Biological Science students should follow all the Biological Science stream compulsory course units.

Course units to be completed during each academic year by the Biological Science students and Physical Science students are given in pages 12 and 13 respectively while the page 14 contains the same information in respect of MIT students. After deciding on a particular subject combination, a student should take all course units in the category ‘C’ of the selected main subjects and sufficient number of units in categories ‘E’ and ‘A’ as the time table permits to make up a minimum of 30 credits in each academic year. A student may take course units up to a maximum of 6 credits with not more than 2 credits per semester from other Faculties. Students are advised to consult an academic advisor of the Faculty before deciding on their choice of course units.

All credits accumulated (except General Studies Course Units) over the entire 3 year period shall be considered for the award of the B.Sc. or B.Sc. MIT (General) degree.

In the Biological Sciences, Computer Studies (COST), Microbiology (MIBI) and Molecular Biology & Plant Biotechnology (MBBT) disciplines have limited enrolment. In the Physical Sciences, Chemistry (CHEM), Computer Studies (COST), Electronics (ELEC), Physics (PHYS) and Statistics & Computer Science (STCS) disciplines have limited enrolment. Selection for these limited enrolment course units is based upon the admission criteria currently used by the University Grants Commission when demand exceeds capacity.
