 UNDERGRADUATE  DEGREE  PROGRAMS  
I.  INTRODUCTION    
 

The   Tamil   Nadu   Agricultural   University   (TNAU),   nestled   in   a   sylvan   ambience   and   one   of  
the   global   hubs   of   excellence,   has   taken   its   strides   to   set   its   bench   mark   in   academics,   research  
and  extension.    
 
The   TNAU   had   begun   as   an   Agricultural   School   at   Saidapet   in   Chennai   in   1876   and  
proliferated  as  a  college  in  Coimbatore,  during  1906.  In  1920,  the  college  was  affiliated  to  the  
University   of   Madras   with   the   introduction   of   a   three-­‐year   degree   program.   Till   1946,   the  
Agricultural   College   and   Research   Institute,   Coimbatore   was   the   only   institute   for   agricultural  
education   for   the   whole   of   South   India.   In   1958,   it   was   recognized   as   a   Postgraduate   Centre  
offering   Masters   and   Doctoral   degrees.   The   Agricultural   College   and   Research   Institute,  
Madurai   was   established   in   1965.   These   two   colleges   formed   the   nucleus   of   the   Tamil   Nadu  
Agricultural  University,  when  it  was  established  in  1971  offering  four  year  B.  Sc.  (Agri.)  degree  
program.    
 
In  the  year  1972,  the  degree  programs  B.  Sc.  (Horticulture)  and  B.  E.  (Agriculture)  were  
started.     In   furtherance,   in   1979,   the   faculty   of   Horticulture   was   established.   To   nurture   the  
home  grown  innovations,  in  1980,  B.  Sc.  (Home  Science)  was  started  at  Madurai  campus.  The  
third   Agricultural   College   was   started   at   Killikulam   in   1984   and   the   fourth   at   Navalur  
Kuttappattu,  Tiruchirappalli  in  1989.  B.  Sc.  (Forestry)  program  was  started  during  1985.  
 
Currently,  B.  Sc.  (Horticulture)  and  B.  Tech.  (Agricultural  Engineering)  degree  programs  
are  being  offered  at  Horticultural  College  and  Research  Institute,  Periyakulam  and  Agricultural  
Engineering   College   and   Research   Institute,   Kumulur,   respectively.   The   Forest   College   and  
Research   Institute   at   Mettupalayam   is   offering   B.   Sc.   (Forestry)   program.     A   new   Agricultural  
College   and   Research   Institute   at   Kilvelur,   Nagapattinam,   will   be   offering   B.   Sc.   (Agriculture)  
program  from  this  academic  year  2011-­‐2012.  
 
Five   colleges   viz.,   Pandit   Jawaharlal   Nehru   College   of   Agriculture   and   Research   Institute,  
Karaikal,   Adhiparasakthi   Agricultural   College,   Kalavai,   Vellore,   Thanthai   Roever   Institute   of  
Agriculture   and   Rural   Development,   Perambalur,   Vanavarayar   Institute   of   Agriculture,  
Manakkadavu,   Pollachi   and   College   of   Agricultural   Technology,   Gullapuram,   Vaigaidam,   Theni  
are   affiliated   to   TNAU   and   offering   B.   Sc.   (Agriculture)   program   by   self-­‐financing   mode.    
Adhiparasakthi   Agricultural   College   is   offering   B.   Sc.   (Horticulture)   program   also   by   self-­‐
financing  mode.    
 
In   the   backdrop   of   changing   agricultural   situation   and   developments   in   science   and  
technology,   TNAU   introduced   unique   technology   programs   viz.,   B.   Tech.   (Food   Process  
Engineering)   during   1998-­‐1999,   B.   Tech.   (Biotechnology)   and   B.   Tech.   (Horticulture)   during  

1
2002-­‐2003,   B.   Tech.   (Energy   and   Environmental   Engineering)   during   2004-­‐2005   and   B.   Tech.  
(Bioinformatics)  during  2006-­‐2007.  Owing  to  the  developments  in  agricultural  and  information  
sciences   and   to   capitalize   on   these   potentialities,   two   courses,   viz.,   B.   S.   (Agribusiness  
Management)   and   B.   Tech.   (Agricultural   Information   Technology)   were   started   during   2007-­‐
2008.    
 

From  the  2011-­‐2012  academic  year  onwards,  a  new  degree  program  B.  Sc.  (Sericulture)  
will  be  offered  in  the  Coimbatore  campus.    
 
At   present,   TNAU   is   offering   the   following   13   Undergraduate   degree   programs,   all   of  
four  year  duration  (eight  semesters).
