was
originally
an

and
the
same
for
other
subjects

started
in
1968.
Finally
in
1972,
due
to
reorganisation
of
the
course
of

Science
subjects,
all
the
Science
Departments
teaching
undergraduate
and
postgraduate
courses

brought

which
is
now
known
as

departments

programmes
are
running
leading
to
award
of
B.Sc.(Hons.),
