Programmes in the Department

The Objectives of the Botany Programme is to equip graduates of Botany with a thorough grounding in modern descriptive and experimental Biology and allied disciplines, and also prepare them for further work in several areas of Botany and related disciplines.  The varied course contents in Botany, in addition to exposure to other science-related courses, serve as a foundation for later courses and by introducing the student to the range of modern botanical science, he/she is equipped to identify and pursue career interests in Science and Technology. 

The B.Sc. graduate in Botany is thus suited for specialized postgraduate training or specialized work in research institutes, forestry, agriculture, industries, civil service or the teaching profession.

Each student is assigned to a departmental adviser who will counsel and guide him/her in the selection of courses from the pool of prescribed core and elective courses designed to achieve the objectives already stated.
