M.Phil. in Plant Molecular Biology

M.Phil. in Plant Molecular Biology

It is our intention that the M.Phil. course will be conducted basically in the style of
seminars. The seminars may be given by the teachers, senior research scholars and the
participating students, subject to overall guidance of the M.Phil. Committee. At the end
of the course, theory question papers will be set on the basis of various seminars given,
and the students examined in them. While, for satisfying statute requirements, a list of
topics has been given for each course, it may be emphasized that a topic listed in the
course may be substituted by another topic deemed to be of current interest by the
teacher-in-charge. A candidate selected for the above programme has to take at least
three courses out of the four courses being offered at present. Course IV is essential.
Besides, a candidate will be required to submit a dissertation in partial fulfillment of the
above degree on the basis of work done in the laboratory. The course being offered, at
present, are as follows:
Course I. Special Topics in Molecular Biology of the Cell
Course II. Special Topics in Plant Cell and Molecular Biology
Course III. Plant Biotechnology
Course IV. Techniques in Plant Molecular Biology
