MISSION STATEMENT
Vision and mission as perceived by
H. H. Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad-III
“The progress of a nation requires that its people
should be educated. Knowledge is a necessity of man.
It instills in him a desire to question and to investigate,
which leads him on the path of progress. Education, in the
broadest sense, must be spread everywhere.
Progress can only be achieved by the spread of
education. Cooperation is necessary to achieve
any worthy end and this readiness to
cooperate will not be found in people
if they are not educated.

FACULTY OF SCIENCE
India’s internationally renowned The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda has blossomed from
the Baroda College which is one of the oldest centers of learning in western India. The Maharaja
Sayajirao University of Baroda is the only state university with a residential, unitary character having
English as sole medium of instruction. Faculty of Science is a constituent institution of The Maharaja
Sayajirao University of Baroda under its direct management and control. Faculty began as an integral
part of Baroda College which was founded by His Highness Sir Sayajirao Gaekwad of Baroda in
the year 1881. He also started the Sayaji Jubilee Institute in 1933 and housed all science subjects
under it. Foundation stone of Sayaji Jubilee institute was laid by Sir Daniel Rufus Isaacs, then
Viceroy and Governor General of India in 1926.
The efforts of establishing a Residential University at Baroda was initiated by Maharaja Sayajirao in
1908, but it became a reality only during the rule of His Highness Pratapsinhrao Gaekwad. The
Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda came into existence on 30th April 1949. Through the
constitution of the University, all the science departments were reconstituted as Faculty of Science.
The Faculty of Science steadily made significant strides in various disciplines of science and
attracted students from all over India and from other countries. It soon developed into a cosmopolitan
center of education. The growth of the faculty thus amply complimented the pioneering efforts of the
great visionary, Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad, who had taken great pains to improve science
education.

THREE YEAR GRADUATE PROGRAM
IN SCIENCE (BSC Hons)
B.Sc. (Hons) PROGRAMME
This is a graduate degree programme of three years (six semesters) duration and comprises of 144 Credits.
Each year will be divided into two semesters.
CREDIT SYSTEM
A student of B. Sc. (Hons.) Programme, under Choice Based Credit System, is required to choose three types
of courses viz., Core (Principal and Subsidiary) courses, Elective courses and Foundation courses. Core
(Principal) subject is the subject in which the student will be awarded B. Sc. (Hons.) degree after successfully
earning 144 Credits. A theory course requiring instructions of 1 hour per week per semester is considered as
ONE CREDIT theory course. In case of practical course, ONE CREDIT requires 2 hours’ laboratory teaching
per week per semester.

EVALUTION SCHEME
A. Theory: There will be mid-semester and end-semester examinations
1. All mid-semester exams will be conducted by respective departments. However, they will be
centrally coordinated by the faculty examination cell.
2. Mid-semester marks will have 30% weightage and will be carried forward in case of ATKT
while End-semester marks will have 70% weightage. The marks obtained in mid & end
semester examination will be taken into account for deciding the final grade of the course.
3. Examination papers will contain 40% objective questions and 60% subjective questions.
B. All Practical courses will have continuous evaluation
GRADE POINT SYSTEM
A system comprising of 7 grade points (4 to 10) will be followed for evaluating a candidate in every course. Both mid-semester and end-semester exams are counted for final grade points.
Grade Points
Description Percentage of Marks
Division/Grade
Range
10 Outstanding 90% - 99% First / O Above 9.01 CGPA Class
9 Excellent 80% - 89% First / A 8.01 – 9.00 CGPA < 4 Fail
8 Very Good 70% - 79% First / B 7.01 – 8.00 4 = CGPA < 5 Pass Class
7 Good 60% - 69% First / C 6.01 – 7.00 5 = CGPA < 6 2nd Class
6 Fair 50% - 59% Second /D 5.01 – 6.00 6 = CGPA < 7 1St Class
5 Average 40% - 49% Pass / E 4.01 – 5.00 CGPA ≥ 7 Distinction
4 – 0 Dropped Below 40%
F Below 4.00
Grade Point Average = ∑ (Credit X Grade Point) / Total Credits
AWARD OF CLASS
Marks-sheets of semester I to V of B. Sc. and Semester I to III of M. Sc. will simply indicate result as either Pass or Fail or ATKT but not the class which will be indicted in the last Semester marksheet.Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is computed as:
CGPA = ∑ (Semester credits X GPA) / Total Semester Credits
Where Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is computed as CGPA = ∑ (Semester credits X GPA) / Total Semester Credits
The sum is taken over from Sem-I to Sem-VI for B. Sc. and Sem-I to Sem-IV for M. Sc.
CRITERION FOR B. Sc. (Hons) DEGREE AWARD
For obtaining B. Sc. (Hons) degree in any subject, a candidate has to earn 144 Credits in all during the B. Sc. Programme consisting of six semesters.
CRITERION FOR M.Sc. DEGREE AWARD
For obtaining M.Sc. degree in any subject, a candidate has to earn minimum 100 credits in all during the programme.
