Programme Overview

The Ph.D. in Genetics and Plant Breeding at Rabindranath Tagore University is a minimum 3-year doctorate programme that gives students advanced subject knowledge of entomology. For those looking to leave academia, a Ph.D. in Genetics and Plant Breeding is a fantastic option. Even individuals who desire to work for themselves can have trouble finding employment. But a PhD will equip them with the knowledge and abilities to work in a non-academic profession. A Ph.D. will make you more distinct from the competition. Your employability will improve as a result of your talents, which will raise both your position and your income. You will also have greater opportunities in the areas of extension, teaching, and research.

How will you benefit

Genetic modification: Train students in the principles and methods of genetic modification to introduce desirable traits into plants, such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, or increased nutritional value.
Hybrid seed production: Teach students the process of hybridization, including the selection and crossing of parental lines, to produce hybrid seeds that exhibit improved traits such as yield potential, disease resistance, or uniformity.
Inbred line development: Equip students with the knowledge and techniques required to develop inbred lines, which are essential for breeding programmes.
Germplasm evaluation: This evaluation helps identify valuable traits for breeding programmes and conservation efforts.

What will you study

Traits are selected and purified via self-pollination generations.

Preserve diversity for resilience and adaptability.

Train in germplasm evaluation and genetic material study.

Teach ethical awareness in plant biotech.
