COURSE INTRODUCTION
The new curriculum of B.Sc. in Science (Botany) offers essential knowledge and technical skills to study
plants in a holistic manner. Students would be trained in all areas of plant biology using a unique
combination of core, elective and vocational papers with significant inter-disciplinary components.
Students would be exposed to cutting-edge technologies that are currently used in the study of plant life
forms, their evolution and interactions with other organisms within the ecosystem. Students would also
become aware of the social and environmental significance of plants and their relevance to the national
economy.
B.Sc. Botany Programme covers academic activities within the classroom sessions along with practical
concepts at laboratory sessions. Infield, outstation activities and projects are also required to be organized
for real-life experience and learning.
Candidates who have curiosity in plants kingdom, ecosystem, love exploring exotic places and wish to
work as researchers or professions like Botanist, Conservationist, Ecologist, etc. can choose B.Sc. Botany
course.
