MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF STUDIES 2018-19
The meeting of the Board of studies in Botany was held on 07.04.2018 at 10 a.m. in the
Department of Botany.
The meeting commenced with the prayer followed by the welcome address delivered by Dr.
P. Francisca, Head of the department.
The experts present were:
1. Dr. P.Anantharaman- University Representative
2. Dr. J.John- Expert
3. Dr.Sami Veerappa- Expert
Agenda
1. The revision of the courses for all II and III UG
2. The revision of the courses for all I and II PG
3. The revision of the courses for M.Phil.
4. All the revisions will be carried out in the next revision.
Purpose of Revision
1. UG, PG and M.Phil syllabi were revised in order to update the contents according
to the newly developing areas in botany.
2. The courses were revised and updated to focus more on developing the
employability skills of the students.
3. The courses were revised and updated to focus to help the students for
preparing the competitive exams.
