For the first time in the history of the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, four students from Afghanistan will be joining the varsity this year for their post graduation.
These students would be here as part of the Indo-Afghanistan programme funded by the Indian Council for Agricultural Research (ICAR).
“They will do one year of course work and another year of research work at TNAU. Admission to foreign students in TNAU was done as per recommendations made in three modes: through the ICAR, the Indian Council for Cultural Research and through foreign embassies. This year we have given provisional admission to 20 foreign students,” TNAU PG Admissions Dean C Udayasuriyan told Express on Thursday.
Sri Lanka, Iran and Iraq and the US were the other countries to have sent their students to study at TNAU in the past.
To facilitate the exchange programme, the university followed the two-semester pattern. While the first semester commenced from August 16, the second one was scheduled to start on January 19.
TNAU offered 39 PG programmes (M Sc and M Tech) at its campus in Coimbatore, constituent colleges in Madurai, Killikulam and Mettupalayam and affiliated institution in Pollachi. It also offered 23 PhD programmes, with students doing their course work in Coimbatore, and research work at the constituent colleges.
The entrance examination for post graduate courses was held on July 17 and for PhD, on August 2.
While the PG admission would be undertaken on August 13, for the PhD programmes, it would commence on August 14.
