Remarks

Indian Institute of Rice Research is the obvious choice when it comes to researching in genetic improvement of rice crops and their grading and testing. I am glad to be working here for the practical exposure I get here, as well as for the faculty.

Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum is not rigid, and there is a focus on attending seminars, workshops and making regular field visits. Apart from that I review articles and books, and write research articles for journals.

Placement Experience

3.5

The institute is dedicated to research and does not have a placement cell, nor is the need for it felt. Most of us want to continue as researchers, and some want to join the academic field as professors, and we get trained for it.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Obviously no fee is payable for a PhD course. We get a research fellowship, which is decided by the university as per the government and UGC guidelines. The stipend is received on a monthly basis for the fixed research period.

Campus Life

There is not a lot of thought on extracurricular activities that are not related to academics or research. The institute arranges regular seminars and workshops along with field visits. There is no discrimination on personal background.

Admission

The Indian Institute of Rice Research invites applications for researchers and research scholars for its ongoing and flagship projects. I applied online, and was invited for the panel interview. I qualified and was accepted as a PhD student.

Faculty

4.5

The faculty is impressive, hardworking, dedicated and knowledgeable. They are specialists in their fields and very approachable. You can approach any member of the faculty, even apart from your supervisor and they will help you in your work.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum of the biotechnology course includes all the relevant topics needed to gain information about the subject. The curriculum also includes currently developing topics of interest which may gain popularity in the future (like bioinformatics). It thoroughly prepares us for real world applications as we gain exposure to various fields of interest in the subject and get a hands-on training in the subject. Ab area i would like to suggest for improvement is to alot equal no. Of periods to different papers in the subject as each topic has its own value in the academic and career purpose. The internals are conducted every month within a duration of 1 hour for each paper. there are currently 4 internals for our batch, each of 10 marks. The externals or the end semester exams are conducted at the end of the semester approx 6 months, which are of 50 marks. 10 marks is alloted for attendance, bringing the total to 1000.
