Syllabus for Textile Studies and Indian Tourism

Major · Semester 2 · First Year · 2 credits

The University has not published this Semester I and II syllabus herself — it is not in her online catalogue, in her circulars, or in any archived copy of her own site. This is the copy published by the College of Home Science Nirmala Niketan, the one college affiliated to the University for this degree. It is set on the University’s own template, names her ladder of awards and cites her Government Resolution of 20 April 2023, and it takes effect from the academic year 2024-25 — but it carries no Academic Council item number, so unlike every other page of this syllabus it cannot be cited to one. Confirm it against your college notice before you revise.
