| The department of
Agricultural Botany was established in 1969,
initially to impart
education to M.Phil. (a pre-requisite for Ph.D)
students with specialization in the field of
Genetics & Plant
Breeding (including Biometrics Genetics and Cytogenetics).
Regular M.Sc. Ag. program was started in the
year 1980. In the light of the tremendous advances
made
in biological sciences all over the world, as
also the requirement of this region, the courses
and
research priorities have been accordingly modified.
Courses
of current scientific importance like Application
of Computer Technology in Agriculture and technology
in crop improvement are also included in M.Sc.Ag.
program. The department has well equipped laboratories
for conducting research in front line areas like
Crop Biotechnology, Molecular Biology and Cytogenetics.
It has also very good farm facilities for conducting
field research. The department has so far organized
two international symposia on Crop Biotechnology
and has conducted 3 training courses to M.Sc.
and Ph.D. students in the field of Molecular Biology.
The students of the department have shown good
performance in ARS, CSIR-JRF/NET, GATE and have
obtained various
scholarships from various agencies. Several students
of the department are presently occupying important
positions in both public and private sector organizations. |

and Molecular
Biology,
Crop Biotechnology, Ecophysiology and Stress Physiology. |

| Post-Graduate Course |
M.Sc.Ag.(agriculture botany) is a our semester
full time courses. It includes 16 theory courses
(4 in each semester) and four practical courses.
Besides course work, some meritorious students
offer thesis based on the research work conducted
in the department.
M.Sc.Ag.(Plant Protection) Post-graduate program
in plant protection with specification in plant
Pathology/Entomology is also offered by the department
of Ag.Botany. It is self financing course of two
years duration. |
| M.Phil.Program
A two semester program for M.Sc (Ag.Botany & Botany) students.Ph.D. Program
The department has facilities for research work leading to Ph.D. degree the specialization includes Cytogenetics (including Molecular Cytogenetics),Plant Breeding and Biometrics Genetics, Plant Molecular Biology and Seed Technology. |
