Application-Oriented Courses
The third component of the B.Se. Programme consists of the Application-oriented Courses (AOC). These courses are developed to equip students in some area of their choice which requires application of skills. He/she must select at least 8 credits worth of courses from this group. If a student has opted for a total of 64 credits in Elective courses, he/she should take only 8 credits from this group. Attentively if he/she has taken only 56 credits in elective courses, he/she is allowed to take 16 credits in Application-oriented courses.
