Syllabus for Youth and Disaster Management
The University's circular of 31 July 2026 (No. 2026/JUL/AAMS/C-248/59224, Academic Council 18 May 2026, item 3) moved co-curricular courses one semester later: a course first set for Semester IV is now offered in Semester V. Your college chooses which co-curricular courses it runs. The University's note to this course: the paper is exempted for a learner who serves as an NSS volunteer and completes 60 hours in each semester. The same circular lets a Semester V student choose any co-curricular course of Semesters I to IV not already completed.
Practise with the Semester 5 past papers. They are from the old syllabus, so check each topic against this one.
