Sc. 2 nd year in 2014 and B. Sc. 3 rd Year in Course Structure: The course will comprise of 3 papers, one paper in each year to be named as Zoology. Each paper will be of 100 marks (25 marks for Internal Assessment and 75 marks for External Examination). For each year there will be one practical course (Zoo-1L in B. Sc. 1 st year; Zoo-2L in B. Sc. 2 nd year and Zoo-3L in B. Sc. 3 rd year) carrying 50 marks (25 marks for Internal Assessment and 25 marks for External Examination). Students will have to submit their practical note books containing all the practicals carried during a particular year at the time of practical examination. Zoological Tours: The students shall be taken at least once a year on a zoological trip to different places to familiarize the students with the places of Zoological interest and to provide them an opportunity to observe various faunastic diversity in nature. These places could be Zoological Parks, Wildlife Sancturies, Hatcheries, Abattoirs etc. 2
