About M.Sc.
Course : |
It is
now accepted that along with the teaching of
conventional courses of pure sciences , the
graduates must get training in technology oriented
and interdisciplinary subjects. Shivaji University
in its thirties has undertaken such a venture and
as the beginning of a new era, a postgraduate M.Sc.
course in Agrochemicals and Pest Management which
has been introduced from June 1993 in the School
of Applied Sciences.In addition to this, the
University has als0 started M.Phil., Ph.D.courses
under the said subject in Agrochemicals and Pest
management.
|
|
Duration: |
The M.Sc.Course will be two years duration of four
semesters. It comprises of sixteen theory papers,
eight courses on practicals and field
experience/factory experience and survey
work/project work/tour etc.
|
|
Eligibility
For Admission to M.Sc. Course : |
Admission to the course is open only to the
candidates possessing B.Sc.Degree with Chemistry,
Botany, Zoology, Microbiology, Agriculture, Plant
protection or Bio-Chemistry as the principal
subject. However, one must be chemistry and one
must be Botany or Microbiology out of three
subjects as principal and subsidiary subjects.
Candidates securing at least 50% marks at degree
level are only eligible.
|
|
Fees : |
As
the course will be run on a self supporting basis,
a course fee of Rs.11, 975/-(Eleven thousand nine
