About the Programme
Overview: Agricultural Education is the teaching of agriculture, natural resources, and land management through hands-on experience and guidance to prepare students for entry-level and advanced agricultural jobs. Demand for agricultural graduates is supposed to be high as compared to the demand for all other occupations in the coming years. The global trend towards standardization of all agricultural products and equipment will lead to greater demand for agricultural professionals. The increasing demand for agro-products, the efforts toward attaining greater efficiency in the agricultural industry and the emphasis of conservation of scarce resources would result in a higher job. CUTM offers 4 years B.Sc. Agriculture course from 2013-14 academic year onwards. Keeping in view of the Agricultural demand in our country, the Academic program has been framed with a balanced semester-based course structure & curricula which promote exploration, innovation, and research. This program, in turn, will be helpful for employment in various Institutes, R & D Organizations & Industries in the country.
