A hearty welcome to this temple of farm education. The University has expanded its academic programs to meet the requirements of human resources in the face of changing agriculture. A range of new technology-oriented degree programs in Agriculture, Marketing, Agricultural Biotechnology, Agricultural Engineering, Food Science, Sericulture. Master’s degree program is offered in 26 subjects and Ph.D. programmes are offered in 18 subjects.

The University has been imparting quality education since its inception by focusing on making our students a good human being and successful professionals through strategic teaching in theoretical and practical aspects during education. As a result, our students have been doing well and are getting top ranks (either 1st or 2nd) in securing the maximum number of JRF Scholarships from ICAR.

The University places great emphasis on a dynamic curriculum and implemented the recommendations of the Fifth Deans’ Committee of ICAR with effect from the academic year 2016-17 with a total credit of 183 which is commonly prescribed for all the UG degree programs across the Country. Further, for the all-round development of students, extra-curricular activities like NSS, physical education and yoga practices have been included as a part of the syllabus. A new program on student READY (Rural Entrepreneurship Awareness and Development Yojana) has been introduced along with the Kannada language course from the academic year 2016-17.

To monitor the student’s performance, in all aspects, from the date of entry to graduation including printing of marks card and degree certificate, the University installed Under-graduate Academic Management (UGAM) software, which is the first of its kind among the SAUs in the Country.

I hope all the students committed faculty and supporting staff will make use of quality infrastructure for great success in their careers.
