Berhampur University Syllabus

Is the syllabus of B Sc Science of Berhampur University changed this year, as it was rumored that it will be revised in next session? Provide me the revised syllabus of B Sc Science of Berhampur University as I want to check it before taking admission in it?

Recently I have taken admission in B.SC Physics Hons. Course at Berhampur University. I need syllabus of 1st Year Course. So is there anybody who will provide detailed syllabus of B.Sc Physics Hons. 1st Year Course of Berhampur University?
