The postgraduate curriculum of the university has been designed to improve the quality of  education in the field of agriculture. This curriculum is based on the course-credit system.

An academic year is divided into three academic terms namely Autumn, Winter and Summer. Each academic term consists of 12 (twelve) effective weeks (working days only).

One lecture/contact hour in each week during a term shall be considered as 1 (one)-credit hour. For laboratory classes 2 or 3 class hours will be considered as one lecture hour. A course having one lecture hour per week in a term shall be considered as a one credit hour course.

The course credit system involves course work with regular class assignments and the use of tests and examinations during and at the end of each 12-week term. The term "course system" is used to differentiate the teaching approach followed at BSMRAU from one generally referred to as the "traditional system." In the course system, subject matter is taught in modules (courses) of reasonably homogeneous subject matter. Students receive "credit" for successful completion of each course taken during each academic term. They also receive "grades" or "marks" for each of the courses taken to indicate the extent of their mastery of the subject matter taught in each respective course.

Regular faculty members of BSMRAU teach most of the courses. However, as required from time to time, adjunct faculty1 members from other academic assist them and research institutions, who are actively involved in applied and basic research programs in their respective fields.

The postgraduate students work closely with well-trained faculty members available at BSMRAU and with teachers/scientists from other academic and/or national research institutions.

1 Adjunct faculty means a person outside the University who teaches course(s) and/or supervises students’ thesis research with approval of the appropriate authority.

Academic regulations and procedures, as from time to time revised, are published to assist students to plan and pursue their academic programs. Every student is responsible for learning the existing academic regulations, which are in force, and observing the procedures, which govern his or her relations with BSMRAU.
