The aim of this program is to train academically competent and practical oriented professional agriculturists. The B.Sc. Ag. program is eight-semester (four years) course after I.Sc. (Basic Science) or 10+2 (Science/Agriculture Science) or I.Sc. (Agriculture). Class room teachings, field and lab works and study visits are the parts of the academic curriculum. Generally, there will be 50 students in a theory and 25 students in a practical class. In the currently revised undergraduate curriculum, the final or the 8th semester students undergo “Fundamental of Research, Practices and Seminar (RPS)” course carrying a teaching load of 4 (1+3) cr. hrs. in lieu of previous “Undergraduate Practicuum Assessment” course of 3 (0+3) cr. hrs. The aim of RPS course is to provide students with an opportunity to learn production and marketing methodologies, data analysis, deliver a result seminar and be able to document a scientific report as a mini-thesis. The students must fulfill four years of residential or non-residential learning to complete the requirements of B.Sc. Ag. curriculum.
