quence wise planning, committed participation and innovative approaches lead to the effectiveness and success of the mission. Time management requires the categorization and division of laboratory experiments into different types for the meaningful and effective training.
The practical syllabus has to be classified into different categories depending upon the time devoted to each experiment. This division would help to make the maximum use of the candidate's stay time in the conventional laboratory at the study centre.
The experiments are classified as : 1. The laboratory experiments have to be carried out by every student in the conventional laboratory using the equipment and apparatus under the supervision of the counsellor. 2. Home experiments are conducted by the student at home with improvised equipment and apparatus by using the materials available at home or the materials that can be easily procured from the local market at an affordable price. The guidelines and instructions are provided by the institution and the counsellor. Such experiments are also conducted by the student with the help of “Home Kits" at home. These kits are supplied by the institution. Laboratory manual is also sent alongwith. 3. Video demonstration experiments are meant for close observation. The students should therefore observe the experiment, its parts and operation etc. They have to learn the different parts of the apparatus and the skill to handle the equipment to perform the experiment. Such video experiments have, therefore, to be prepared by the University with great care keeping the objectives in mind. 4. Video interactive experiments are conducted in the studio and recorded on the video casette to make the student carcfully watch the experiment and record the results of the experiments. The result are used for calculations by the students. They also interpret the results and draw inferences. These experiments are as good as laboratory experiments except somebody else does the experiment for the student on the video screen. 5. Computer simulation
