Mandatory Additional Requirement (MAR)

After completing higher studies a student is expected to solve the problems of the society. S/he should be able to find out problems our society is facing today and will be facing tomorrow. They will be able to solve those problems. They will be able to work in a team.  The world around us is changing at a very fast pace. When a student will come out with a degree after four years, s/he will certainly be thrown into a world with new challenges. They should be able to convert these challenges  into opportunities. Therefore a student must grow in all spheres besides her/his own subject.

In this direction a student has to achieve some mandatory extra points in order to earn B.Pharm. degree under MAKAUT. This will come under Mandatory Additional Requirements (MAR). Below is a table of list of the activities and the points those can be achieved by a student in four years, i.e. full course time.

A student has to do the following things to achieve the MAR points:

  1. The student should engage herself / himself in activities outside the curriculum. Join different types of Clubs of NSCBIP, write some thing for the wall magazine, remain active in outer society, participate in TechFests activities, etc. and report the same to gain MAR points. See the activity list to gain more insight into MAR.
  2. Submit a proof of that activity, like photographs (hard and soft), photocopies of certificates, CDs of videos, etc. to her/his mentor. Send a softcopy to office@nscbip.org as attachment.
  3. There is “Maximum Points Allowed” in each ‘activity’ within ‘full course’ and within an ‘academic year’. This means that a student should participate in different types of activity and should be spread over the full course duration.
  4. The points earned by the students will be reflected in their mark sheets.
  5. For uniform distribution of MAR activities throughout the entire period of the academic curriculum of a student, the student should earn a minimum of 20 activity points and maximum of 30 activity points in each year.
