Sericulture Building.

Each of the departments mentioned has its full quota of students, including those from  ‘B’ Scheme.  The Centre is proud to note that, many of the students who have sought admission chose this Institution as their first preference, despite the PG Courses being available in various institutes in Mysore and elsewhere.

It is also encouraging to note that the results of students from this Centre compare with other students of Manasagangothri (Mysore), Hemaganothri (Hassan), and Sir M.V PG Centre (Mandya).  Every year some of the students have gained Gold Medal and Cash Prizes.
