The College framed the ongoing B.F.Sc. syllabus following the guidelines of the Deans’ Committee (IVth Deans’ Committee) under the following designated departments. Department and semester wise allocation of credit hours and distribution are as stated in Table 1.5 and various courses of the B.F.Sc. degree programme are given in Table 1.6.
At present the college is offering MFSc and Ph.D. only in Aquaculture department. Department-wise allocation of credit hours for MFSc (Aquaculture) is given in Table 1.7 and courses offered under MFSc (Aquaculture) are given in Table 1.8.a & b. Department-wise allocation of credit hours for Ph. D. (Aquaculture) is given in Table 1.9 and courses offered under Ph. D. (Aquaculture) are given in Table 1.10.a & b.
