सवाल
Which syllabus does this course follow?
It follows the UP State Universities NEP 2020 common minimum syllabus for B.Sc Botany, Semester 3. Where your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university's syllabus and question pattern.
Is there field work?
Yes. Plant identification and herbarium work are done in the Plant Identification Technology Lab of the same semester.
Is there a test after the course?
Yes. Unit-wise multiple-choice tests and a final exam paper are included for semester exam practice.
Do I have to submit a herbarium?
Most universities ask for a set of herbarium sheets in the practical exam; the trainer guides you to prepare them.
How are the practicals marked?
The trainer watches each experiment and marks it on a rubric; the viva questions here prepare you for the university practical exam.
