The Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) is measured as performance of work done by the student in a semester. The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is measured as cumulative performance of a student in all semesters in the courses taken by the student. The mission of the postgraduate diploma in Environment, Health and Safety management at Department of Water & Health is to promote excellence amongst our postgraduate staff and students through responsive teaching, research and supervision, scholarship and instructional pastoral support.
The main objective of the courses offered is interdisciplinary in nature that enables over all student development and enhanced learning experience. Each course paper provides hands-on- experience that translates theory to practical. The curriculum is supported with field trips, industrial visits, other extension, and extracurricular activities wherever required. The students are encouraged to undergo and acquire scientific knowledge by frequently participating in different subject related workshops, research centers and national/international laboratories, industries, firms, etc with inter and multidisciplinary collaborative organization.
- Any Bachelor Degree (B.Sc/B.A/B.Com/BBA/B.E/B.Pham/MBBS/BDS or equivalent degree) recognized by UGC with any specializations.
- Any Master Degree (M.Sc/M.A/M.Com/MBA/M.E/M.Pham/MDS or equivalent degree) recognized by UGC with any specializations.
- As an add-on course, students those have registered for post-graduation courses in JSS AHER may be chosen the PDGEHSM along with M.Sc/M.A/M.Com/MBA or equivalent.
