Chemistry General Syllabus Of West Bengal State University

Hello Sir I am pursuing B.Sc Chemistry (General) (Part 1) from West Bengal State University (WBSU). My Exam is about to come so I have started its preparation but I want to prepare according to syllabus. Would you provide me syllabus of B.Sc (General) (Part 1) of (WBSU)?
