Eligibility
M.Sc. Agriculture at SRK University offers one of the broadest postgraduate agriculture specialization ranges in Madhya Pradesh, with 8 tracks launched together in 2024 — from core production sciences like Agronomy and Horticulture to applied sciences like Agriculture Extension and Agriculture Economics. Every specialization carries equal 10-seat intake, giving graduates genuine choice based on career direction rather than seat competition steering them toward one track.
This range reflects Madhya Pradesh’s diverse agricultural economy — Plant Breeding & Genetics and Agriculture Chemistry & Soil Science support the state’s crop research and input industries, while Animal Husbandry & Dairy Science connects to the state’s significant dairy sector, and Agriculture Extension prepares graduates for government agricultural outreach roles.
Students train through specialization-specific field and laboratory work, building toward research, teaching, or agribusiness careers. For B.Sc. Agriculture graduates at SRK, this creates a direct undergraduate-to-postgraduate agriculture pathway on one campus.
