PROJECT WORK 

1. Each learner can select for his / her research project in any one of the areas of chemistry in consultation with his/her guide and the Head of the Department.
2. The project report should be submitted to the Principal through the Head of the Department of Chemistry one week prior to the commencement of the university examinations. If a candidate fails to submit his/her project report on the date presented above, he/she may be permitted to submit the same four days prior to the date of viva- voce examination with a fine prescribed by the university.
3. Each learner shall submit 2 copies of his/her project for valuation.
4. The project report shall contain at least 25 pages excluding bibliography and appendices.
5. The project report shall be valued for a total of 100 marks out of which the external and guide share 60 and 40 marks respectively. The sum of marks awarded by both the examiners shall be considered to be the final mark. For the pass in the project the learner shall secure a minimum of 50 marks. If the learner fails to get the minimum pass mark in the project report he/she be permitted to resubmit his/her project report once again within a period of 6 months after the publication of the result.
