सवाल
Which syllabus does this course follow?
The course follows the ICAR 5th Deans' Committee B.Sc (Hons.) Agriculture syllabus used by UP agricultural universities (CSAUAT Kanpur, ANDUAT Ayodhya, SVPUAT Meerut, BUAT Banda) and agriculture colleges of UP state universities. Where your own university syllabus differs, the centre follows your university syllabus.
Do I need to know software?
Basic computer use is enough. Free tools such as QGIS and Google Earth are shown in class.
Are numericals asked?
Yes. NDVI and map scale problems are practised.
Do you give tests?
Yes. Unit tests with MCQs are given.
