M.Sc. – Master of Science (Botany)

Master of Science in Botany program delves into the scientific study of plants and their relationship to the environment. This course aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of plant biology including their structure properties and bio-chemical processes, from the molecular to the ecosystem level.

Overview

The course covers a broad range of topics including plant physiology, taxonomy, ecology, genetics, evolution and plant development. Students will be able explore the plant structure, growth, reproduction, metabolism, development, diseases resistant, and bio-chemical properties of plants. Practical work forms a significant part of the program, providing students with hands-on expertise in the field and laboratory skill. The program also encourages the development of analytical and problem-solving skills, which are valuable in the field of botany.

We have “Botanical Garden” spread over in more than one acre, comprises medicinal, wild & ornamental plants useful in morphological & physiological studies/ experiments.

Career Opportunities

Post graduate students can pursue careers in various sectors such as research, education, environmental awareness and consultancy, agriculture, environmental NGOs and horticulture. They can work as botanists, ecologists, environmental consultants, agricultural scientists, plant taxonomist, microbiologist and many more.

Program Learning Outcomes
