(vi) Preliminary or Final Examination in Law-in each subject or group of subjects 32 lectures and 12 sittings of a Moot-Court. (vii) Preliminary Scientific M.B. Examination

In the Medical Course there shall be in addition to the lectures specified above practical courses as prescribed by the Syllabus. 2. If a College fails for three consecutive years to deliver the minimum number of lectures prescribed above in any subject, proceedings shall be taken under section 24 of the Indian Universities Act to withdraw from it the privileges of affiliation in that subject.

3. Every lecture shall cover a period of not less than 45 minutes inclusive of the time allowed by the College Rules for the assembling of the students.

4. For the purpose of these regulations a period of practical work or class exercises or class examinations of not less than 45 minutes shall be considered to be equivalent to a lecture.

5. Every candidate who desires to appear as a collegiate student at any one of the examinations mentioned in section 1 shall be required to prosecute a regular course of study for the time specified in the Regulations in the subjects which he takes up for the examination in question.

6. No student shall be considered to have prosecuted a regular course of study in any subject for any examination unless he has attended at least 75 per cent. of the lectures delivered in that subject in one or more affiliated Colleges.

7. No lecture shall be deemed to be a lecture within the meaning of these Regulations, unless it is delivered to a whole class or permanent section of a class, and unless it is reckoned in calculating the percentage of attendance of all students of the class or section who have taken up the subject in which the lecture is delivered.

8. If the College, to which the student belongs, is not affiliated in a particular subject which he desires to take up for examination, he may be permitted, by mutual arrangement between the Principals of the Colleges concerned, to attend lectures on that subject in another duly affiliated College.

9. The percentage of attendance of every student under section 5 shall be calculated on the total number of lectures delivered in each subject from the commencement of the academical year. If a student is transferred from one College to another, the percentage of attendance in the first College shall be calculated on the total number of lectures delivered in each

subject up to the date borne on the transfer certificate, and in the second College, on the lectures delivered after that date. 10. In cases where a student, after study for the period prescribed by the Regulations, shall have failed to attend 75 per cent. of the lectures in any subject or subjects during this course, he shall not be admitted to the examination as a collegiate student, unless (a) he attends lectures in such subject or subjects for another academical year, and (b) his attendance in the subject or subjects in question for the period prescribed by the Regulations amounts to at least 75 per cent. of the lectures delivered in the College or Colleges in which he studied for the prescribed period.

11. If a candidate for any of the examinations mentioned in Regulation 1 does not present himself at the examination immediately succeeding the completion of his regular course of study, he may appear at any of the two following examinations of the same standard, provided that he produces, in addition to the ordinary certificate or certificates as required by the Regulations, a certificate from the Principal of the College at which he last studied or from a member of the Senate, testifying to his good character during the intervening period.

If such candidate desires to present himself at any subsequent examination he shall be required to prosecute a fresh course of study for the full period in accordance with the Regulations.

12. No student shall be considered to have prosecuted a regular course of study in any subject for the M.A. or M.Sc. Examination under University Professors or Lecturers unless the total number of lectures delivered by such Professors or Lecturers is at least 180, and unless he has attended at least 75 per cent. of the lectures in each course.

If, however, the total number of University lectures delivered in any subject does not amount to 180, attendance on 75 per cent. of the lectures in each available course will suffice.

CHAPTER XXVII.

CONDITIONS TO BE FULFILLED BY COLLEGES AFFILIATED IN SCIENCE.

GENERAL.

Colleges affiliated in any Science subject except Geography and Experimental Psychology must be provided with gas and a plentiful supply of water, and there must be adequate connexions for these with the portion of the building allotted to science teaching. There must be a suitably fitted lecture

theatre of the ordinary type, and the lecture table, which should not be less than 12 feet long, must be provided with gas and water fittings, and must also be adapted in other respects for lecture demonstrations in the various sciences for which it is intended to use the theatre. There should be an aperture in one of the walls by which a beam of solar light can be admitted for optical and projection work. One lecture-theatre will ordinarily suffice, but if the number of subjects in which the College is affiliated is considerable, additional accommodation in this respect will be necessary. There shall be separate rooms for practical work in each of the subjects for which the College is affiliated, and in each such room there shall be a good black. board and a small demonstration table. A sufficient quantity of apparatus, etc., must be provided both for practical and lecture work, and there must be ample cupboard room for the apparatus when not in use. Lists are given in Appendix B shewing what may be considered the minimum requirements in each case. For all Colleges affiliated up to the M.A. or M.Sc. standard in Physics or Chemistry an electric installation is desirable and should certainly be provided wherever there is a town supply of electricity.

SPECIAL.

I. PHYSICS.

(a) Intermediate Standard.-Not more than 20 students shall be placed under one teacher in the practical class at one time. If the number exceeds 20, an additional teacher or demonstrator will be required. The size of a room which it is intended shall accommodate the above number of students, shall not be less than 20 feet by 25 feet. If the number of students exceeds 20, the size of the room must be proportionately increased. The working tables should be small, about 6 feet by 3 feet, and should be very strongly made of teakwood. One or two large sinks with water taps must be provided.

(b) B.A. or B.Sc. Standard.-There shall be one teacher to every 15 students in the practical class. The room used for the Intermediate course, having the dimensions given above, will suffice for the B.A. or B.Sc. students and for a class of fifteen, but it is necessary for the work in the present course that each working place on the tables should be supplied with gas. A small room for optical work is desirable, but if it is not possible to provide this a portion of the laboratory, which in th's case should be larger, may be screened off for the purpose. A small workshop should be attached to the laboratory.

(c) M.A. or M.Sc. Standard.-There shall be one teacher to every 10 students in the practical class. In addition to the

general laboratory two other rooms will be necessary, one for optical and the other for electrical work. A larger workshop will be necessary than in the previous case, and it should be furnished with a good lathe. A permanent mistri should be employed.

II. CHEMISTRY.

(a) Intermediate Standard.-Not more than 20 students shall be placed under one teacher in the practical class at one time. If the number exceeds 20, an additional teacher or demonstrator will be required. The size of a room which it is intended shall accommodate the above number of students, shall not be less than 20 feet by 30 feet, and if the number of students exceeds 20, it must be proportionately increased. The working benches must be provided with gas, one jet for each student. Those benches which occupy the centre of the room should, for the sake of economy of space, be of double width, so as to admit of students working on both sides, and the shelf for reagents may, in this case, run along the centre of the table. Water taps with the corresponding sinks, should be provided in the ratio of about one to four students, but the sinks in the case of the tables of double width, may be replaced by a properly treated wooden trough running along the centre. Two or three fume closets are necessary; one will suffice, if the working tables are supplied with small draught hoods.

(b) B.A. or B.Sc. Standard.-There shall be one teacher to every 15 students in the practical class. The laboratory for the Intermediate course can be adapted for the use of the B.A. and B.Sc. students as well. A small and well-lighted balance room and a combustion room must be provided in addition.

(c) M.A. or M.Sc. Standard.-An additional laboratory with rooms for special work shall be provided for the use of M.A. and M.Sc. students, not more than ten of whom shall be under the supervision of one teacher.

III.-PHYSIOLOGY.

(a) Intermediate Standard -Not more than 24 students shall be placed under one teacher. The working benches shall be furnished with racks for chemical and microscopical reagents, and gas, water and sinks shall be supplied in the same way as in the chemical laboratory. The size of a room for 24 students shall be not less than 20 feet by 30 feet.

(b) B.A. or B.Sc. Standard.-Not more than 12 students shall be placed under one teacher. The room for the practical work of the Intermediate standard can with some slight adaptation be also used for the present standard.
