Postgraduate Education in PGR at NBPGR
The management of plant genetic resources has developed into an important technical, socio-economic and political concern over the past 50 years or so. With the ratification of the CBD in 1992, considerable awareness was raised about the importance of conserving biodiversity, its sustainable use and the need for equitable benefit-sharing arrangements. The need of trained manpower from many countries particularly from developing world was realized to carry out various bioresource management tasks. The value and use of wild and cultivated genetic resources for breeders and other researchers have now come of age. In India, the intake of first batch of postgraduate students in Plant Genetic Resources (PGR) discipline of Post-graduate School, Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI, a deemed-to-be-University), New Delhi took place in 1997 at the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR) for Master’s course. The Ph.D. courses in PGR started since 2004-05 academic session. So far, till 2024-25, a total of 85 M.Sc. and 46 Ph.D. degrees have been awarded in PGR discipline. The four major theme areas of postgraduate research have been: assessment of genetic diversity and population structure of crop landraces; species relationships and molecular phylogeny; seed conservation and related supportive research, and biotechnology and germplasm conservation.MoU between NBPGR and IARI for PG Education in PGR
Brief description of M.Sc. and Ph.D. courses in PGR
As in other disciplines of IARI, the M.Sc. and Ph.D. courses in PGR are being conducted in trimesters under course credit systems. The M.Sc. course is of two years duration divided into six trimesters. To complete the Ph.D. course a student normally takes 3-4 years. The Ph.D. course is also conducted under course credit system. There are a total of 21 courses designed for the PGR discipline. These include both regular courses and also advanced courses. Both M.Sc. and Ph.D. programmes in PGR have research components as well. A M.Sc. student has to submit a thesis as partial fulfilment of the degree. For Ph.D. the research topic is more elaborate. For M.Sc. degree, the thesis is basically indicative of a students’ potentiality for conducting research whereas all Ph.D. students are supposed to write at least two quality research papers in peer reviewed journal(s) before submitting their thesis for award of the degree.
System of Admission
(i) M.Sc. degree courses: The students are selected through an all India Entrance Test conducted by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research https://exams.nta.ac.in/ICAR/ .
(ii) Ph.D. degree courses: Admission is made by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research https://exams.nta.ac.in/ICAR/ .
Number of seats
There is scope for enrolment of four students for M.Sc. and five students for Ph.D. courses in PGR. In addition, there is scope for enrolment of one or two foreign student in each course.

Priority areas in Postgraduate Research in PGR
The major priority areas for future postgraduate research in PGR discipline are as follows:
- Assessment of diversity loss over time and space and approaches to measuring genetic erosion on-farm.
- Identification of genetically important crop populations, and farming systems that are priorities for conservation in traditional production systems and investigating different options for “adding value” to these populations in a given social, economic and ecological context.
- Development of molecular markers for economically important traits in plant genetic resources.
- Characterization of germplasm for enhanced utilization using tools of comparative genomics.
- Study of gene flow in indigenous crop plant-wild relative’s complexes.
- DNA bar-coding system for identification of wild relatives and molecular phylogeny of indigenous crop taxa.
- Providing scientific basis for seed conservation strategies and for devising effective seed conservation protocols.
- Strategies for exploitation of genomic resources for improved utilization of genetic resources.
- Investigating molecular aspects of seed longevity.
- Investigating seed storage behavior as a prerequisite for storage strategy and factors responsible for recalcitrance in
- Development of cost-effective in vitro conservation and cryopreservation protocols.
