But if needed, qualified teachers belonging to other Departments of the University may be requested to supervise the thesis instead.
At the end of 1st Year, students will be required to sit for a written examination on four courses of 100 marks each. Besides this they will be required to appear at an oral examination which will be worth 100 marks. The pass mark for all courses is 50%.
