Course Curriculum Overview:

I have done my Bachelors in Agriculture so I was more of interested in plant physiology ,genetics ,breeding and seed pathology etc, so as seed science is a part of this course I have chosen this course. The course helps in many real world experiences as we perform field work , we have done work on millets as 2023 was the international year of millets, we have started work on seed priming in lab , started multilocational trials on wheat, millets , started work on seed pathology on various vegetables etc. The improvements needed in course is that the timing of our main exam given is only 2 hrs and the 4 long answers questions are ti be written which is of 15 marks respectively which should be increased.

Course Curriculum Overview:

the curriculum included a mix of theoretical knowledge and practical skills. fieldwork, internships, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, and industrial workshops enhance real-world applicability. the scientific and research methods we learn prepare us for further academic careers in research. improvements: practicing modern agricultural techniques like digital farming, drones or aeroponics will prepare us for our future endeavors. we had the semester system, where the exams were spaced out by 6 months. we had a total of 8 semesters. the difficulty level was normal to medium but the marking by the university was very harsh.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The seed Science department is a smaller ground in the Agriculture field but it is a very important subject. Job opportunities are very high in this department because you can be appointed in different private seed-producing companies and also there is the government sector.

Remarks:

Management is one of the worst I've seen. College is great in the part of educational tours thourough which you'll cover almost all Forest types of the country. Also some scientists are amazing. And there are lot of opportunities for relevant projects. The worst part is university's unsupportive attitude, and bad management.

Remarks:

In the past FRI was considered the temple of Forestry. I think it was because of some reason. Reason could be the management, administration and quality students. I'm hopeful that if quality students are provided with best management and administration, then it can regain it's old reputation. They will have to be a bit more serious for quality syllabus as well as faculty. Seriousness is not just limiting attendence to 75% or more. Moreover quality doesn't come from attendence or something.
