School of Humanities and Languages

Department of English Programme: M.A. English (Specialization in Creative Writing, Student intake: 20 Script Writing, Writing for Media and Film Appreciation) Duration: 2 years (4 semester)

Preamble The course on English engages with literatures and cultures in English or translated into English and interprets and

formulates cultural theories. The subject is also a study of not only how language is used in literature but also of the (a)

intimate connection between language and culture; (b) the displacement of language by hegemonic structures; (c) the

significance of language in formulating, spreading and continuing ideas; (d) the imperial-colonial debates centred on

language. In its concerns with literature, the subject engages with (a) processes of creativity and of appreciation i.e.,

poetics and aesthetics; (b) comparative literature across languages and cultures; (c) the act of literary representation

and of methodologies, traditions and schools of interpretation; (d) the connection between visual representation, ver-

bal image building and the nature of the mimetic act; and (e) with the politics of language.

Language is multi-functional and is used in multiple contexts – communication, diplomacy, power, art and ideas

amongst many others. The human being is a language animal and both memory and time (in the sense of past, present

and future) are dependent on it as a medium. It is used for rhetoric, political persuasion, assertion and media. Objective

M.A. English engages with literatures and cultures in English or translated into English and interprets and formulates

cultural theories. It covers several areas with the following objectives in mind:

• To impart essential knowledge of literary forms, movements and trends in contemporary theory and interdiscipli-

nary extensions.

• To train students to use their expertise for careers in journalism, translation, translation for newspaper syndics,

per-formative art and film criticism, publishing, scriptwriting and for academic careers in English, Comparative

Literature and Cultural studies Departments/Centre's.

• To equip students for higher specialization in above areas.

• To facilitate careers in creative writing.

• To equip students for research in interdisciplinary areas such as tribal, diasporic, cultural, historical and

anthropological fields.

• To sensitize students towards contemporary areas of conflict and human rights.

Department of Economics Programme: M.A. Economics (Specialization in Enviro-Economics) Student intake: 20

Duration: 2 years (4 semester) Objective/Preamble The programme Enviro-Economics aims to develop the understanding about the interlinkages between the economy and

the environment. With a meteoric rise in the level of public concern, sustainable environment has become not only a

desirable but a necessary goal for development. In the same stream, the conservation of natural resources and its sustain-

able use is also gaining importance. The programme intends to incorporate this vital aspect of development by cultivat-

ing and fostering the advancement of learning and application of the economic tools in dealing with environmental and

resource problems. In recent years, the concept of the Environmental Economics has emerged as a potential remedy to some of the key mar-

ket and institutional failures that characterize the conventional development model, and as a more effective pathway to

advancing economic, social, and environmental goals. Environmental Economics, although has its roots in externality

theories, public good theories and the general equilibrium theory of the mid-twentieth century, the field really took off

in the last quarter of the last century and has been growing ever since. The second development is the large scale use of quantitative methods made possible by the IT revolution. This has made generation of data, its dissemination and access for analysis easy. Business Analytics has emerged as an important area using quantitative techniques in the design of business strategies. India has developed as the important Knowledge Processing Hub in business analytics for major financial, marketing and consultancy institutions across the world. The programme is a timely response to the growing concerns for deteriorating quality of environment and natural re-

source base. The courses are designed to develop multi-disciplinary skills among the students to tackle the complex en-

vironmental and economic issues. Apart from the micro, macro, international and monetary economics, there is a special

focus on environmental economics, natural resource economics, global and national environmental issues, environmen-

tal impact assessment and sustainable development. Besides, econometrics, theories of economic growth, public

economics, development economics, economics of human development, environmental sociology are also the part

of the course curriculum. The course on computer applications in economics and statistics enables the students to

handle a set of time series and cross section data using the softwares like SPSS, EVIEWS, PROWESS and STRA-

TA. The course curriculum includes lecture notes, tutorials, seminars, self-study and internship/ project report/

dissertations. Nature & Scope Students will have the opportunity in government ministries and related agencies undertaking environmental

planning and policy analysis work, public and private sector companies and consultancies conducting analysis of

the environmental effects of economic activity, corporations implementing programmes to meet goals of social

and environmental responsibilities, research and educational institutions involved in environmental management

and sustainable development, international and Non- Governmental organizations concerned with economic de-

velopment and environmental change and charitable trusts and organizations carrying out conservation and edu-

cational field work. Departmental Facilities (Labs/Equipments)

Department of Commerce Programme: M. Com. (Specialization in Accounting, Taxation, Student intake: 20 HRM, Finance, Marketing) Duration: 2 years (4 semester)

Preamble The Central University of Rajasthan has been established by an Act of Parliament (Act No. 25 of 2009). The Gazette of

India, No. 27, published on 20th March, 2009 as a new Central University, and is fully funded by the Government of

India to provide flexible, innovative academic and research programmes and support structures that are responsive to a

broad range of learners and regional needs. The world is witnessing a high-tech revolution with changes in science,

technology, commerce and industry. The world now believes that knowledge is everything. With opening up of world

economy by way of globalization, liberalization and privatization processes, all the business sectors are witnessing a

tremendous growth. The whole economy is undergoing a tremendous transformation with many new sunrise sectors

like financial services, consultancies etc coming up. The service sector is outstripping the manufacturing sector in

growth. A career in these sectors involves challenging work, high growth opportunities, lucrative pay packets and a

professionally challenging work environment. The job market is undergoing a metamorphosis. This is creating a huge

demand for careers in Commerce and Business. This has led to huge change in the way we teach and deliver business

studies courses.

Commensurate with the times and taking into account the challenges the age of globalization and knowledge-societies

pose, CUR is aware of the urgent need to move towards semester-wise Choice-Based Credit System (CBCS) and Con-

tinuous Assessment and Grading Pattern (CAGP). Agencies like UGC and NAAC have been advocating CBCS and

CAGP. A number of universities and institutes of higher learning in the country have already adopted CBCS and CAGP.

Under the banner of School of Management and Commerce a two year (four semesters) full-time M. Com. Programme

is going to start from the academic session 2012-13.

The corporate world is dynamic and the changes are so severe that a series of new concepts and techniques are

fast coming into being and the earlier and traditional ones are becoming obsolete. This situation has given rise to

the need for restructuring the curricula of Commerce education at all levels so as to make it meaningful and com-

patible with the changing business scenario and introduce the concepts and techniques among the commerce

teachers to further channelize and streamline their contribution. By introducing more and more professional

skills, we need output of graduates and researchers to be of the best quality in the world. Objective The proposed M. Com. programme has a distinct objective to equip the students with knowledge, skills and atti-

tude to become more suitable for the present and emerging job market. The courses are intended to impart inten-

sive knowledge and training in the subject and help the students to acquire wider perspectives both for research

and for professional application. The syllabus has been designed student-centered where there is flexibility for

the students to have a greater choice of courses appropriate to their interests, needs, sustainability and long term

goals. The courses are offered with Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) thus facilitating the students to have 24

Courses of 96 Credits spread over 4 semesters for mastering the subject for the award of Master degree in Com-

merce by acquiring the required depth and at the same time to select elective courses of his/her choice and based

on his/her aptitude from four elective group of courses. The syllabus also includes two open courses (each carry-

ing 4 Credits) of inter disciplinary nature out of which each shall be offered in 2nd and 3rd semester in order to

suit the needs and interest of the students. To be precise, the objectives of M. Com. programme are as under:-

Department of Pharmacy Programme: M. Pharm. (Specialization in Pharmaceutical Chemistry) Student intake: 20

Duration: 2 years (4 semester) Preamble Among the many branches in Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry may be regarded as a pillar of Phar-

macy. However, unlike other basic sciences, Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry is an interdependent science

that is a combination of applied medicine and basic sciences. Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry provides phar-

macy students with a comprehensive understanding of the mechanism of drug action, the relationship between the

structure of drugs and the differences in activity which is referred to as QSAR, the relationship between physicochemi-

cal properties of drugs and its impact on activity, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity

(ADMET). An understanding of the chemical basis of drug action gives pharmacy students the ability to answer ra-

tionally the “why” and “how” of drug action, and to modulate the activity by fine tuning various attributes of the drugs. This knowledge puts the pharmacist in a unique position among the various health care professionals. By imparting an

exclusive knowledge base, Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry plays a vital role in providing critical thinking and

evidence-based problem-solving skills to pharmacy students, enabling them to make optimal decisions in this area of

pharmacy. Objectives

The objectives of the course will be to provide students will an up-to-date knowledge in receptor theories, enzyme kinetics, principles of drug action, modern methods of drug design, metabolism and pharmacokinetics and advanced organic chemistry. The skill sets imparted during this course will make students competent in a research setting both in the corporate world and in an academic environment. We believe that this course will create a strong foundational knowledge of Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry and will allow students to imbibe lifelong learning skills.

Department of Statistics Programme: M. Sc. Statistics (Specialization in Actuarial Sciences) Student intake: 20

Duration: 2 years (4 semester) Nature & Scope Actuarial Science is the discipline that applies mathematical and statistical methods to assess risk in the insurance and

finance industries. In view of the uncertainties involved, probability theory, statistics and economic theories provide

the foundation for developing and analyzing actuarial models. Using an appropriate stochastic model, simulation and

high speed computing, it has become possible to construct various tables and objectively determine the premiums of

different types of insurance contracts, even in the presence of uncertainties associated with the prevailing risk factors.

In such a decision making process, statistical techniques play a central role. A strong statistical background provides a

good foundation for the integrated aspects of finance, economics, risk management and insurance.

A post graduate statistics course oriented towards Actuarial Statistics is not available in many educational institutes

in India. Expertise in Actuarial Statistics is globally appreciated and provides immense opportunities for employment

in insurance and financial sectors. Graduates in Statistics with adequate background in actuarial science are in great

demand globally.

The M.Sc./M.A. Statistics course of the Central University of Rajasthan is expected to provide requisite knowledge of

probability, statistics and actuarial science thus helping one to acquire analytical skills to pursue a profession in insur-

ance / financial sector.

Department of Physics Programme: M. Sc. Physics Student intake: 20

Duration: 2 years (4 semester) Objective Physics interacts with society in many important ways. Within the university, the department teaches postgraduate

classes needed for future physicists and for many other professions. The University Department of Physics, Central

University of Rajasthan established in the year 2011, offers postgraduate leading to the Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree

awarded by the Central University of Rajasthan. The M.Sc. Physics course is a rigorous study program at post graduate

level covering both depth and breadth of all relevant areas, and providing substantial research training. It is designed to

impart a thorough knowledge of the fundamental principles of the several branches of physics, as mathematically and

experimentally demonstrated; and also to execute with their own hands various experiments to have hands-on experi-

ence with the tools and methods of physics, not simply with the concepts. In addition Ph.D. degree programmes are introduced from this semester and B.Sc. degree programmes are to be intro-

duced from next semester by the Department. Experienced faculty of the Department is devoted to research in their respective areas of specialization. Research and

teaching are given equal importance by the faculty. Extra care is taken to pay individual attention to the students in

their laboratory work and tutorial sessions. Project work and problem sessions are encouraged to develop innovative

and analytical approach to physics learning.

The M.Sc. Physics is a post graduate Four Semester Course spanning over two years duration. A candidate who has secured more than 50% or CGPA of 3.0 in the UGC Seven Point scale [ 45% or CGPA 2.5 in the

UGC Seven Point Scale for SC/ST] or equivalent in the Bachelor degree in Science with Physics as Major Subject.

The admission to this program is based on the results of an entrance examination CUCET (to be conducted joint-

ly by Central Universities) at various centers in India. 30% weightage will be given for the performances of the

students at Bachelor level and 70% weightage is for the performance at the entrance examination. The program

aims to train future generations of physicists with specialization in one of the frontier areas of research, that is,

either in Material Science or Condensed Matter Physics. The regular laboratory meetings give students hands-on experience with the physical concepts being discussed

in lecture, and introduce the principal methods of scientific investigation. The department has three well-

maintained laboratories including an electronics lab in which the students can carry out their project work, play

around with the concepts of electronics/physics and exhibit their creative skills which have been upgraded re-

cently with new equipments. There is a parallel computing HPC Laboratory to aid the learning process and meet

Other Initiatives

Establishment of Anti Sexual Harassment Cell & Anti Ragging Cell

As per the guidelines of UGC and the Supreme Court an Anti Sexual Harassment Cell has been established by

the Central University of Rajasthan to provide a healthy and congenial atmosphere to the staff and students of

the University. NSS/NCC Aims: The overall aim of National Service Scheme as envisaged earlier, is to give an extension dimension to the higher

education system and orient the student youth to community service while they are studying in educational in-

stitution. The educated youth who are expected to take the reins of administration in future are found to be una-

ware of the problems of the village/slum community and in certain cases are indifferent towards their needs and

problems. Therefore it is necessary to arouse the social conscience of the students, and to provide them an opportunity to

work with the people in the villages and slums. It is felt that their interaction with the common villagers and

slum dwellers will expose them to the realities of life and bring about a change in their social perception.

The Motto: The motto or watchword of the National Service Scheme is :„NOT ME BUT YOU‟. This reflects the essence of democratic living and upholds the need for selfless service and appreciation of the other person‟s point of view and also to show consideration for fellow human beings. It underlines that the welfare of

an individual is ulti-mately dependent on the welfare of society on the whole. Therefore, it should be the aim of

the NSS to demon-strate this motto in its day-to-day programme.

Classification of NSS Programme: NSS activities have been divided in two major groups. These are regular NSS activitiesand special camping pro-

gramme. (a) Regular NSS Activity: Under this, students undertake various programmes in the adopted villages, college /

school campuses and urban slums during weekends or after college hours; (b) Special Camping Programme: Under this, camps of 10 days duration are organised in adopted villages or ur-

ban slums during vacations with some specific projects by involving local communities. 50% NSS volunteers are

expected to participate in these camps.

Incentive (s) to the students: • The NSS volunteers may get appropriate weightage if he/she completes 2 years in NSS and gets the certificate

signed by the Vice-Chancellor of the university. • Universities may give preference to such NSS volunteers in matters of admission, promotion and other privi-

leges as decided by them. • NSS volunteers should be honored at university level for their excellent and outstanding work in NSS. The

universities may prepare guidelines for such incentives. • The states may also institute state level/district level awards for outstanding NSS volunteers. • NSS volunteers may be nominated for Indira Gandhi Awards at National Level.

NSS Activities: The central University of Rajasthan initiated NSS as an extra curriculum activity for the students. During the

first phase of this program we have done tree plantation at boys hostel located temporarily at BSNL quarters, Kishangarh, Ajmer • Campus Cleaning : One day camp was organized for campus cleaning at Bandar Sindari campus of CURAJ

under the activity of NSS on 20th September 2011. Around 150 students participated in the camp. The task was assigned to the students to clean the sports ground of boys hostel Badminton and volley ball area.

• Blood Donation Camp: Central University of Rajasthan organized a blood donation camp under the two days camp of NSS along with the medical help and association of Jawaharlal Lal Nehru Medical college and Hospi-tal Ajmer. The camp was organized on 13th and 14th October 2011 at Kishangarh and Bandar Sindari campus of CURAJ respectively. Around 150 students including teaching and non –teaching staff donated the blood and more than 300 were registered an examined by the team of doctors for donation.

• NSS cell celebrated Youth Week in the university campus from January 16th to 18th, 2013. Following activities are planned to be organized under the event:

• Essay Competition (Topic:-The continuing introduction of new technologies and new media adds little to the quality of education)

• Poster Competition (Topic:-Youth Involvement in Social Activities) • Debate Competition (Topic: Facebook: A social Network, a Revolution or A time waste and a diversion

from Indian culture and Values) • Motivational Lecture For Youth, by Dr. Satish Batra (University of Rajasthan)
