Preamble
Under this system, there will be 14 core course paper (C1 to C14). These are compulsory to be studied by a
student to complete the requirement of B.Sc. (Hons.) Biotechnology programme. The students will study two
papers per semester in first year, three core papers per semester in the second year and two core papers per
semester in third year. The core papers (6 credits each) will comprise of theory (4 credits) and practicals (2
credits).

The Discipline specific elective papers (6 credits each) will comprise of theory (4 credits) and practicals (2
credits) like the core papers. A particular option of DSE paper will be offered in V and VI semester

a) Following four Discipline Specific Elective (DSE) course have been included, two for semester V and
two for semester VI
DSE1. - Animal Biotechnology
DSE2. - Plant Biotechnology
DSE3. - Bioinformatics and Biostatistics
DSE4. - Environmental Biotechnology
b) The students will also undertake two Skill Enhancement courses (SEC) of two credits each in III and
IV semester of second year
SEC1. - Elementary Computer Application Software
SEC2.- Molecular Diagnostics

c) Besides the core and elective courses, there are two ability enhancement compulsory courses AECC-
1(English Communication) and AECC-2 (Environmental Science) of two credits each in 1St and 2nd semester
d) Generic Elective (GE): Different generic elective papers will be offered to students of other departments
of the college and the students will have the option to choose two generic elective papers each in the first two
semesters. The generic elective will be of six credits each. These generic elective papers (6 credits each) will
comprise of theory (4 credits) and practicals (2 credits).
GE1- Chemistry I
GE2- Botany
GE3- Chemistry II
GE4- Botany
GE5- Chemistry III
GE6- Botany
GE7- Chemistry IV
GE8- Botany

In the CBCS system, a credit is unit by which the course work is measured. It determines the number of hours
of instruction required per week. One credit is equivalent to one hour of teaching (lecture or tutorial) or two
hours of practical work/ field work perweek. A minimum of 164 credits are required to obtain degree in B.Sc.
(Hons.) Biotechnology.

A. MS-WORD LAB ASSIGNMENT

1. Write down the following Paragraph OR any one provided by your teacher;

Without a doubt, the Internet is one of the most important inventions of modern times. The
Internet is a global interconnected computer networks which allow each connected computer to share
and exchange information with each other. The origins of the Internet can be traced to the creation of
Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) as a network of computers under the
auspices of the U.S. Department of Defense in 1969.

Apply following effects on The paragraph:

i. Paragraph font-size and font-type must be 12 Verdana.
ii. Paragraph alignment must be justified and double line spacing.
iii. Highlight the “(ARPANET)” with green color.
iv. Make the “Internet” keywords Bold and Italic.
v. Insert any “WordArt” and a symbol to your document.
vi. Insert a clipart to your document.
vii. Add following lines to your document:
Internet, Intranet, Extranet, URL, WWW, Networking, Protocols, HTTP, TCP/IP

2. Create a Table of following fields:

Name, Surname, Age, Gender, Job and apply the following effects
i. Insert 10 records
ii. Font size should be 12
iii. Title size should be 14
iv. Font type should be Times new Roman
v. Title color should be blue
vi. Text color should be black
vii. Table border should be 2

3. Write a letter on ‘Road Safety’ and send to ‘Multiple Recipients’ using mail merge.

4. Type the paragraph given below:

Today, the Internet is a public, cooperative and self-sustaining facility accessible to hundreds of
millions of people worldwide. Physically, the Internet uses a portion of the total resources of the
currently existing public telecommunication networks. Technically, what distinguishes the Internet is
its use of a set of protocols called TCP/IP (for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). Two
recent adaptations of Internet technology, the intranet and the extranet, also make use of the TCP/IP
protocol. Today, the Internet is a public, cooperative and self-sustaining facility accessible to hundreds

Basic Formatting and Spreadsheet Manipulation

1. Add rows and columns to an existing spreadsheet
2. Reformat data (center, comma and currency styles, bold, text color)
3. Work with a simple formula (product) and function (sum)

Assignment
1. Create a workbook as shown below.
2. To enter new rows or columns, simply click on the row or column header to select the whole row
or column. Then right click with the mouse and choose insert.
3. Add the new row for S Spade with the data that’s shown below (between the original rows 7 and
8).
4. Add a column for gender and the data as shown below (between the original columns A and B).
Enter the appropriate gender for yourself in the last row.

A B C D
Name Male/Female Genre Number of Songs
J Smith F Blues 50
B Doe M Country 110
S Spade F Country 200
F Zappa M Blues 1400
F Zappa M Alternative 2300
J Smith F Alternative 150
S Spade F Blues 1000
B Doe M Blues 75
yourname M Blues 800

5. Center the data in columns B and C. Do this by selecting the whole column and click the center
icon on the ribbon.
6. Bold the data in row 1, the column headings (ensure that the data all remains visible within the
column boundaries).
7. Change the font color for row 1 to Blue.
8. Change the format of the data in column D to comma style (no decimal places showing).There is
an icon on the home tab that sets it to comma style easily.
9. Add two new column labels to the right of the current columns; Unit Price and Total Cost. (They
will be in columns E and F.) These two columns of data should be currency type so that the dollar
sign is shown. There is an icon to quickly format the selected column as currency type.
10. All tunes are $.99, so enter that value for all rows in Column E. You can copy quickly by using the
Auto Fill handle and drag that amount down. When you over your mouse over the tiny square in

ENVIRONMENT & WATER MANAGEMENT HONS. CBCS CURRICULUM RANCHI UNIVERSITY

the bottom right hand corner of the active cell, your mouse shape will become a skinny plus sign,
and you can click and drag that cell to make a copy.

11. Calculate Total Cost (column F) as column D times Column E. You will type in a formula like this
into cell F2: =D2*E2 (Be sure to begin the formula with an equal sign)
12. Use the AutoFill (skinny plus sign) again to copy the formula down column F; down to F10.
Double check the picture below to make sure yours has the correct values
13. Add a border to all of the cells (A1-f10) using the Borders tool in the Fonts group on the Home
Tab.
14. Change the page layout to landscape. Do this by clicking the Page Layout tab on the ribbon and
then to Orientation to Landscape.
15. Save the file.
16. Click in cell F11 and Use the sum function or the shortcut icon that looks like ∑ to get the total of
the Total Cost column.
17. Ensure that the data is all visible within the column boundaries. Make the columns wider if
needed.
18. Save the workbook. Your final spreadsheet should look like the following when printed.

Name Male/Female Genre Number of Songs Unit Price Total Cost

J Smith F Blues 50 $ 0.99 $ 49.50

B Doe M Country 110 $ 0.99 $ 108.90
