B.Sc Agriculture
Agriculture is the world’s oldest profession and its most urgent frontier. The B.Sc. Agriculture (Honours) programme at the Doon School of Modern Agriculture & Forestry is designed for students
who aspire to stand at that frontier — equipped with the science to understand it and the skill to advance it. Over four immersive years, students explore the full spectrum of modern farming: soil health and crop physiology, pest management, watershed science, agribusiness, and the precision technologies reshaping how humanity grows food.
What distinguishes this programme from a conventional degree is its commitment to making knowledge actionable. ICAR-aligned coursework meets national standards, while dedicated farmland, poly-houses, and protected cultivation units ensure that every concept studied is also touched, tested, and seen yield results. Structured visits to GBPUAT Pantnagar, FRI, ZSI, IMD, and CAP extend the laboratory into India’s finest scientific institutions and agricultural research ecosystems.
Students benefit from DBS Global University’s vibrant, multi-disciplinary environment. Studying alongside peers from engineering, business, and law fosters the interdisciplinary mindset that modern agriculture demands. Integrated coaching for UPSC, ICAR, IFS, and agri-finance examinations, combined with placement support from 350+ campus recruiters and 22+ active student clubs, ensures that graduates leave not only with a degree but with a clear direction.

Advantage @DGU
Choosing a university is one of the most important decisions in a student’s life — and at DBS Global University, that decision is treated as far more than a brochure promise. The Advantage @DGU is the institution’s commitment: a learning environment so complete, so well-positioned, and so purposefully designed that the years spent here do not simply prepare students for a career — they set the trajectory of one.
From the moment students arrive in Dehradun to the day they walk across the stage, every element of DBS Global University — the city, the campus, the curriculum, the industry connections, and the community — works in their favour. This is what the Advantage @DGU looks like in practice.
