Students also participate in research projects and fieldwork, bringing theoretical concepts to real-world agricultural problems. This degree prepares graduates for employment in agricultural research, crop consulting, farm management, or positions in government agencies and international organizations concerned with food security and sustainable agriculture.

The Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Horticulture with a Specialization in Vegetable Science is a 2-year postgraduate degree that focuses on advanced vegetable cultivation, genetics, breeding, and production. This curriculum teaches in-depth vegetable crop physiology, pest and disease management, organic and sustainable vegetable farming, and post-harvest technology. Students also investigate biotechnology applications, quality improvement, and soil health to maximize productivity. Graduates are well-prepared for positions in agriculture research institutions, horticultural consulting, agribusiness, and government agricultural ministries, where they can help to improve food security and sustainability.

M.Tech. in Farm Machinery and Power Engineering is a 2-year postgraduate program that focuses on the design, development, and maintenance of agricultural machinery and equipment. The curriculum covers topics such as tractor design, harvesting technology, precision farming, and renewable energy applications in agriculture. Graduates of this program are equipped to work as agricultural engineers, farm machinery designers, and consultants in the agri-tech industry. The program emphasizes hands-on learning through laboratory sessions and project-based assignments, preparing students for careers in the rapidly evolving field of sustainable agricultural mechanization.

M.Tech. in Processing and Food Engineering is a 2-year postgraduate program that studies the design, development, and optimization of food processing technology. The curriculum includes topics including food engineering fundamentals, unit operations, food quality control, and food packaging. Graduates of this program are prepared to work in the food processing industry, and R&D groups, or pursue additional academic study. The curriculum normally consists of coursework, laboratory sessions, and a culminating dissertation or project. Admission criteria include a national-level entrance exam, academic performance, and, in some cases, relevant professional experience.

 M.Tech. in Soil and Water Conservation Engineering is a 2-year postgraduate program that focuses on developing expertise in managing and conserving soil and water resources. The curriculum covers topics such as watershed management, irrigation engineering, soil and water pollution control, and remote sensing applications. Graduates of this program are equipped to work in government agencies, research organizations, and private firms involved in sustainable land and water resource management. The program emphasizes hands-on learning through field visits, projects, and internships to provide practical experience.

 M.Sc. in Floriculture and Landscaping is a 2-year postgraduate degree that blends the art and science of decorative plant production with landscape design concepts. Students study advanced subjects such as plant breeding, greenhouse technology, landscape ecology, and sustainable garden management. Plant physiology, soil science, pest control, and computer-aided landscape design are common topics covered in the curriculum. The program includes practical instruction through field visits, internships, and research projects. Graduates are eligible for positions in commercial floriculture, landscape architecture firms, botanical gardens, and research organizations. This degree also prepares students for future academic studies or entrepreneurial endeavors in the horticultural industry.
