School of Agriculture

A Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (B.Sc. Agriculture) is a 4-year undergraduate program that studies agricultural sciences and farming methods. The course includes various areas, including agronomy, environmental sciences, agricultural microbiology, plant breeding, genetics, soil science, plant pathology, and food microbiology. The course is designed to educate students for employment in farming, research, and other agricultural fields. It ideal for those passionate about feeding the world and preserving the environment.

An M.Sc. in Horticulture is a 2-year advanced degree program that dives deep into the science of growing and managing fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants. Students learn about plant breeding, pest management, sustainable farming practices, and the latest technologies in crop production. The course combines classroom learning with hands-on experience in gardens and greenhouses. This advanced degree equips students with in-depth knowledge and practical skills to contribute to the evolving field of horticulture, addressing challenges like food security, climate change adaptation, and sustainable agriculture.

B.Tech. in Agricultural Engineering is a 4-year undergraduate program that combines principles of engineering with agricultural sciences. Students learn to design and develop innovative solutions for farming, food processing, and rural development. The curriculum covers subjects like soil and water conservation, farm machinery, post-harvest technology, and precision agriculture. Graduates are equipped to tackle challenges in sustainable agriculture, mechanization, and agri-business management, contributing to improved agricultural productivity and food security.

A diploma in Agriculture is normally a 2-3 year curriculum that teaches students both practical and academic knowledge about many facets of agriculture. Crop production, soil science, agricultural economics, animal management, farm machinery, and sustainable farming methods are all common topics covered in the curriculum. This diploma provides students with the necessary skills for professions in farming, agribusiness, agricultural research, and extension services. The degree often combines classroom instruction with hands-on experience gained via fieldwork and internships, equipping graduates for the practical problems of modern agriculture. , Students after this degree seek entry-level work in the agricultural sector or further their study with advanced degrees in agricultural sciences.

M.Sc. in Agronomy is a 2-year postgraduate program that studies agricultural production science and technology, as well as soil management. This advanced degree provides students with a thorough understanding of plant genetics, soil science, crop physiology, and sustainable agriculture techniques. Advanced plant breeding, precision agriculture, pest management, and agricultural biotechnology are common topics included in the curriculum. 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.

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.
