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.

Are origins and genomes asked?

Yes. Genome formulas of wheat and Brassica and chromosome numbers are common questions and are given in a revision table.

Is U's triangle explained?

Yes. The relationships of Brassica species are explained with a simple diagram in class.

Do you give tests?

Yes. Crop-wise MCQ tests are given.
