Msc Chemistry In Dibrugarh University

I want to do M.SC Chemistry from Dibrugarh University. What is the course structure for following M.Sc Program? Is there any entrance exam for M.SC Chemistry Program? How many Science Colleges located in Assam affiliated to Dibrugarh University offers Master Degree programs?

Can you provide me the course structure/syllabus for the M.Sc. in Chemistry Course (2 Years) program offered by Dibrugarh University?
