The
department has enjoyed a unique distinction
of starting the postgraduate teaching in
plant pathology for the first time in the
country in 1945. On an average every year
M.Sc. (Ag) degree in Plant Pathology is
awarded to ten to eleven students and Ph.D.
degree to two students. Uptil now, M.Sc.
(Ag) in Plant Pathology has been awarded to 360 students and Ph.D. degree in Plant Pathology to 125 students.
We have adopted the recommendations of
III Dean Committee in toto since August
2003 for M.Sc. and since August 2004 for
Ph.D. So for as courses and curriculum
and evaluation systems are concerned. Modern
teaching methods with the use of transparencies,
slides, C.D., OHP/LCD/projector etc. are also utilized in imparting teaching, Time-table, lecture synopsis, practical
manuals of the courses at UG level were
given to the student at the time of registration.
Quiz, mid term, final examinations were
performed as per the calendar given by
the Dean and evaluated externally (70%)
and internally (30%).
