Learning in the field is emphasised through field-based projects and surveys in association with Kerala Forest Department and other agencies. Our students help scientists in recording and analysing data through their participation in Citizen Science projects. Every year, students of the first year are given special training through a bridge course to acquaint them with laboratory instruments, techniques and biosafety protocols.
