PROGRAM OUTCOME OR PROGRAM SPECIFIC OUTCOME

• PO-1: In depth knowledge: This query seeks understanding of the fundamental theoretical concepts underlying chemistry, encompassing atomic structure, chemical bonding, and reactivity. Additionally, it inquiries about the practical applications of these principles in various fields, including medicinal chemistry, polymer chemistry, and food technology. Analyze how knowledge is generated, refined, and put into practice to address challenges and opportunities on national and global scales.
• PO-2: Critical thinking with analytical problem solving: This approach emphasizes the utilization of a systematic investigative framework. Researchers will employ critical thinking skills to analyze, evaluate, and integrate relevant information. Formulating testable hypotheses and employing rigorous methodologies will guide problem-solving and decision-making processes. Ultimately, defensible conclusions will be derived through the application of these principles
• PO-3: Professional Identity: The significance of various professions within the larger social framework. It delves into the historical, social, economic, and political contexts that shape these roles. By considering fields like chemistry, pharmaceuticals, medicine, material science, healthcare, and beyond, we can gain a deeper understanding of how these professions contribute to society. This includes those who supply medications, advocate for public health, educate others, manage businesses, hire employees, and dedicate themselves to their chosen fields.
• PO-4: Interdisciplinary Perspective: Seeking open and honest intellectual exchange, with a growing acceptance of viewpoints from all areas of knowledge. This includes recognizing the importance of social, environmental, and economic factors, as well as long-term sustainability. Appreciates the value of diverse perspectives across all academic disciplines.
• PO-5: Environmental awareness: Understanding the social and environmental consequences of human activities in the Himalayas is crucial. This knowledge will guide us towards sustainable development strategies for the region.
• PO-6: Ethics: Be a person of integrity in your work and personal life. Respect that people have different backgrounds, beliefs, and ways of interacting. Use established ethical guidelines to make sound choices, and take ownership of the results.
• PO-7: Commitment to National development: To drive meaningful development, connect academic research to solutions for local, societal, and national problems.
