of the department of Plant Breeding & Genetics the University of Swabi, visited the

University on April 2, 2014 and gathered at University of Swabi to carryout external review

of the Plant Breeding and Genetics degree program for accreditation.

The itinerary of accreditation visit schedule is given at Annexure-I.

1.3 University of Swabi

The University of Swabi, Anbar (Swabi), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was given the status of

Independent University during the year 2012. The University comprises Faculty of Sciences and

Faculty of Arts. The former constitutes various disciplines of agriculture and allied sciences. In

addition the university is also having Directorate of Teaching and Directorate of Quality

Enhancement.

1.4 The Department of Plant Breeding & Genetics

The Department of Plant Breeding & Genetics was established with the inception of University

in November 2012. The department has been offering various courses for the BSc (Hons) degree

according to the national agriculture degree program approved by HEC with following missions

and goals. The Department has 05 qualified (all PhD degree holders) well experienced faculty,

comprising one Professor and four Assistant professors (Annexure-II). Class rooms and labs are

reasonably equipped and sufficient for undergraduate degree program (Annexure-III). Faculty of

the Department has published 23 research papers in internationally reputed journals during 2012-

14 (Annexure-IV). The department has well-established Linkages with advanced countries of the

world for split PhD, Joint research, Joint faculty visit and organizing international symposium.

The department has Rs. 30,000 operational budget per year. The list of research projects

provided by the department is attached as annexure-V.

1.5 Program Mission and Objectives

Impart advanced academic and research training in the discipline of Plant Breeding and

Genetics.

Plan and undertake advanced basic and applied research on cereals, oilseeds, pulses and

other major and minor crops of importance for the target areas.

Establish linkages with provincial, national and international research and educational

organizations to undertake collaborative assignments of academic programs

Academic Programs: Following academic programs are being catered within the department of

Plant Breeding & Genetics:

A) B.Sc. Hons Agriculture majoring in Plant Breeding & Genetics. The students of

agriculture taken after F.Sc. are being offered general introductory courses of all agricultural

disciplines during the year-1 and year-2 and are allowed to opt for any major subject based on

their interest and the merit of their results. The students opting for Plant Breeding & Genetics are

taken on competitive base and only students obtaining CGPA above 3.0 are offered the major

because of the limitation of seats. Presently the department takes only 30 students maximum

every year based on the availability of Teachers, the laboratory, lecture rooms and field facilities.

Section-2 Criterion wise Analysis

2.1 Curriculum Design and Development

The curriculum followed is according to the national curriculum developed through HEC with

little modification suitable for the area (Annexure-VII). The curriculum implemented was

designed during the year 2010 which will be revised during the year 2014, under HEC

curriculum review program.

Students Perception: The students were contacted for their views about the contents of the

courses, the method of teaching, use of teaching aids, the conduct of practical and field exposure.

The students were satisfied about the teaching methodology and the covering of the theoretical

components of the courses. However, there was some dissatisfaction about the laboratory

facilities and the conduct of the experiments. Field trips for exposure to crops under study are

also given to students and students of some of the classes were on tour to the University of

Faisalabad on the day of the AEAC team visit. These study tours need to be more frequent

during the semester according to the students.

The objectives set out by the department were found clear and achievable. These included the

capacity building, academic and applied research and development of linkages with sister

organizations and stakeholders. The students showed their concerns for the practical side; the

internship program is being carried out mostly at other Institutions. The department has a small

share in the central library with a total collection of 2740 books under 252 titles (Annexure-VI).

Net instructional hours are according to HEC plans and courses are generally completed before

the examinations. Course files are strictly maintained by the teachers/department or the faculty

office. Admissions, course registration and withdrawal policy matches with that planed by HEC.

The course evaluation system is more or less according to the HEC instructions. The mid

semester, final semester and practical examinations are being held. Board of Study exists and

regularly meets in the department.

2.2 Strength and Quality of Faculty

The faculty of the department was found to be highly qualified covering all areas of Plant

Breeding and Genetics. It included mostly conventional breeding, accompanied with marker

assisted breeding, tissue culture and biotechnology, cytogenetics and quantitative genetics. The

quality and strength of the faculty therefore was found to be reasonably strong.

Ph.D. Degree

Faculty Status

Regular Contract

Plant Breeding 05 05 05 00

The department has 05 faculty members comprising one professor and 4 assistant professors.

As newly established, the department has not recruited any national professors/foreign

faculty/subject expert/ tenure track. The department has 23 undergraduate students, with

seven in the 6th

and 16 students in the 8th

semester, resulting about 1/9 student teacher ratio.

Use of course assessment instruments and program monitoring system are operative through

the Higher Education Commission QEC based at the campus.

Faculty training and development is through HEC based programs. Salaries are according to

the pay-scales, nobody is on tenure track system yet (however, some have applied)

2.3 Students Support and Progression

The students have approach to the main library in the university. The online facilities for

literature retrieval and computing facilities are also available in the library of the University but

these were considerably limited when compared with the number of enrolled students in the

University. Admissions system is transparent, and intake is adequate. The students’ drop out

percentage is very low and the students’ support facilities are not adequate such as indoor games,

swimming pool or gym etc.

The need based scholarship facilities to the students (US and Japanese need based scholarships)

are available, but there were no local scholarship provisions for outstanding or needy students.

Similarly, interest free loans from banks were also not visible. There is an internship program in

the scheme of studies. Students-teacher counseling is strength of the department. The post

graduate students can utilize the computers in the small departmental computer lab. and the

printers of the supervisors easily.

2.4 Infrastructure and Learning Resources

Basic infrastructure is temporary, however the lecture room facilities within the department were

just enough. The teaching aids like multimedia and projectors are not usually used for class

lectures and the classrooms were under multiple use.

The laboratories had basic necessary equipment for the training of the students of undergraduate

level. The department has also strong linkages with the local sister organizations like NARC and

NIFA and they do take the advantage from there. The laboratory staff was found trained in using

the lab equipments present in the labs.

Main library facility exists but number of fresh books / journals was not adequate and the

students had complaints. There wasn’t departmental library, and so was the case with journals

and books. Facilities like internet, multimedia, video & audio equipment and online facility for

access to journals are available but very limited.

2.5 Governance and Leadership

The departmental activities were very well organized both in teaching and research but it was

observed that the funds for students practical and research are not available within the

department. The amount was mentioned in the presentation but practically that is under the direct

control of Dean, Faculty of science.

The university statutory bodies like Departmental Board of Studies, The Faculty Board,

Academic Council, Syndicate and Senate are in place for smooth running the teaching and

research activities as well as other matters of concern

The finances are centrally controlled through the Treasurer office. The University is short of

placement bureau and alumni association.

2.7 Innovative Practices

The university has strong QEC establishment that through the students’ and stakeholders’

feedback mechanisms ensures the quality teaching. Both students-teachers assessment exercises

and program assessment mechanisms are operative through the QEC establishments and other

bodies like Directorates of Teaching and Students Affairs.

Section-3 Overall Analysis

3.1 Major Strengths:

The degree program of the department had the following strengths

Qualified faculty with vision and will to work for students training and research.

The teachers have good advanced education as all 5 of the faculty members have their

PhD trainings from different universities.

The strength of the student was also good because of the location of the University.

The Teachers were very much satisfied with their job and salaries.

Some of the teachers have accommodation within the campus and all utilities are

available on campus, which also provide very conducive and tension free environment

for the teachers.

Student hostels and accommodation is also available within the campus but they are

temporary as well.

There are some individual research projects won by the faculty through national and

international competition from HEC etc which is appreciable.

Faculty members have good publications in HEC recognized journals and impact factor

journals.

Examination system of semester is followed and all teachers take two exams during the

whole semester which is a normal practice. The assignments, quizzes and other semester

requirements are also practiced for some courses.

Merit scholarships are also available, which is necessary for creating competitive and

healthy environment within the students.

2. Major Weaknesses:

The breakdown of the lecture contents were not provided to the students by the teachers.

Teaching aids like multimedia and computers are not regularly used in teaching, as the

computer and internet facilities to the staff are very limited.

The laboratory space is available but the equipments and its utilization needs

improvement.

Textbooks are only available at main library and the online book consultancy in main

library is also limited.

3.3 Major Opportunities:

The department of Plant Breeding & Genetics is as old as the university and is

academically on sound footings. It has a good opportunity to establish its reputation for

teaching and research. Being located at centre of the province and having qualified

faculty, the department of PBG has a lot of opportunities for research endeavours.

The department have strong group of plant breeders, trained in all major crops including,

wheat, pulse, and oil seed crops, with technical hands of manpower (students), and thus

can provide valuable services in terms of new varieties, demonstration plots and farmers

consultancy.

There are some scholarships and collaborative research opportunities with developed

countries like Japan and USA. USA is focusing on KPK for its strategic importance and

the opportunities could be captured by the department in long term collaborative linkages

for transfer of material and technology

3.4 Major Challenges:

The department is slowly moving with its degree program. The acquisition of land to

establish its permanent campus has to be the major priority at this stage.

The teacher’s qualifications are up-to date as all faculty members are having PhD but the

strength of faculty must increase as the students’ enrollment increases.

3.5 Stakeholders View Point

Employer’s feedback:

The views of the employer’s about Plant Breeding and Genetics Department are as follows:

Practical work regarding crop breeding should be emphasized at the department to

develop new crop varieties.

Should be capable of undertaking applied research.

All the students should be taught statistics, crop physiology, biochemistry and

genetics in addition to the specialization.

Students View Point:

Students felt that the computer knowledge of students was inadequate, the communication

and presentation skills were weak. They also need more training to use modern laboratory

equipment. Internship and practical training should be a regular feature for all students with a

view to developing a strong and effective program.

Section- 4 Recommendations:

4.1 Salient Findings

The overall assessment of the degree programs indicated that the Department of Plant

Breeding & Genetics is progressing very well according to the objectives envisaged.

The quality of education imparted is satisfactory but needs improvement.

The student exposure to practical is minimum and needs improvement.

The staff qualification is reasonably up to the standard but can be further improved by

providing opportunities of Post Doctoral trainings.

The infrastructure including lecture rooms and laboratories are there but

improvements are required for the better equipping of the laboratories, the addition of

lecture rooms and better management of the farm.

4.2 General Recommendations

1. The departmental budget must be at the discretion of the chairman to meet the daily

needs.

2. The semester system must be followed in letter and spirit i.e. the evaluation must be

through regular mid term and terminal examinations as well as the assignments and

quizzes at time.

3. The students progress must be monitored including the maintenance of their registers,

roll calls, the lab and field work.

4. Internship at the final year of BSc (Hons) degree must be ensured to be at agriculture

related institutions or progressive farms..

5. The department shall have its own departmental library and new edition of the text

books must be purchased and maintained at the departmental library.

6. The digital library facilities with online linkages must be provided at the department

level for free access to final year BSc students.

7. The laboratory facilities must be made up-to date with addition of new equipments,

sitting space for students and work environment.

8. The student’s field tours must be made mandatory for their field exposure and first

hand knowledge of the crops and problems especially for the undergraduates.

9. The mission statement lacks reflection on strong emphasis on capacity building in

terms of human resource, space and time; academic and applied research by post-

grade students and faculty; information and resource sharing through strong linkages

with sister organizations, government and private institutions and stakeholders.

10. Workload of faculty members need to be distributed according to the HEC defined

criteria i.e., according to the category. The faculty fringe benefits need to be provided.

11. Strong system of students’ scholarships from the university sources and from the

donating agencies/zakat, baitulmall need to be established. There should be a separate

sitting room with washrooms for the female students in the department. Sports

facilities must be extended to the students living on the campus for healthy

development. Students support services and facilities such as scholarship, interest free

loans, transport and medical help need to be in place and increased.

12. The department must develop its own Computer lab and a library, and cabins for

postgraduate students within the department, the fresh books may be purchased/

copied through HEC/ the National Book Foundation. The department should take the

advantage of the facility extended by HEC to hold seminars, conferences, placement

bureau and alumni association.

4.2 Final Recommendation

All faculty members of the department are PhD and have experience in various disciplines of

plant breeding & genetics. The strength of the trained faculty thus has been depicted in the

coverage of main disciplines of the subjects including, plant breeding using conventional

approaches. Laboratory facilities including the provision of laboratory equipment for non

conventional breeding like molecular markers assisted selection and tissue culture facilities are

needed for students’ proper training and research.

1. Establishment of better liaison and collaboration with research institutes and progressive

farmers for student’s internship and on job training as well as joint research.

2. More funds for the departmental research activities by empowering the chairman/HoD to

utilize the funds instead of central control.

3. Sufficient lecture rooms and teaching aids like the use of multimedia and digital library

resources.

4. Better computer facilities within the department for approaching the online journals and

textbooks.

On the basis of the inspection / evaluation, the team recommends Accreditation of the BSc

(Hons) Degree Program of the Department of Plant Breeding & Genetics, University of Swabi in

the “X” category of National Agriculture Education Accreditation Council/HEC with scope for

up-gradation to category “W” after appropriate improvements in due course of time.
