MSc in Agriculture (Biotechnology)

PG program monitoring:

• The roster of PG Faculty will be maintained at Faculty Dean Office and PG Studies Office.
• Courses offered with the course instructor’s list will be sent to Faculty Dean and PGS office for the record through the Department head.
• A monitoring and evaluation committee headed by the PG coordinator approved by VC will monitor PG classes and researches to maintain and cross-check quality between different faculties.
• By the end of the semester, each course with the instructor will be evaluated by students.
• The outcome of the evaluation will be shared within the PG Committee.
• PG Committee will have necessary action on the outcome.
• Any disputes between students and faculties in courses and research will also be addressed by the committee.A discussion with course instructors and faculty Deans will be organized at the end of the semester focusing on grade distribution, internal evaluation, and course content covered The outcome of the discussion would be shared in the PG Committee for necessary action.
