Soil Science is a fundamental discipline in agricultural and environmental sciences that focuses on the study of soil as a natural resource. It encompasses soil formation, classification, physical and chemical properties, fertility, conservation, and its interaction with plants, water, and the atmosphere. As soils are the foundation of crop production and ecological sustainability, understanding and managing soil health is central to ensuring long-term agricultural productivity and environmental resilience.
The M.Sc. in Soil Science at Kaveri University is designed to equip students with comprehensive knowledge of soil systems, hands-on experience in soil analysis, and the scientific understanding and technical competencies needed to manage soil resources sustainably. As soil becomes central to food production, climate mitigation, and environmental conservation, trained soil scientists will play a crucial role in shaping the future of agriculture and ecological restoration.
Kaveri University's School of Agriculture will provide apprenticeship in collaboration with agroindustry, as we focus on skill development & experiential learning.
This Undergraduate Programme at Kaveri University has a blended curriculum, and students have to acquire 167 credits to graduate.
