Backup_of_Final Prospectus University (2) - University of Kota

From the Desk of
Vice-Chancellor
At the very outset, I extend you all very warm and hearty welcome to
this young and academically vibrant University and also in the
culturally rich heritage city Kota situated on the banks of holly river
'Chambal'.
As you all are aware that we are living in a global, dynamic and highly
competitive world, where the rule is either to perform or to perish.
Efficiency is the key word in modern times for survival and progress,
which ultimately depends on the quality of human resources besides
the available technology. Both are directly related to the quality of
education which is most important weapon for the transformation of
the society and also in achieving the efficiency. Therefore, the entire
focus of the University is on providing quality education at par with
international standards along with building good academic and
learners friendly atmosphere so that generation of new ideas may
take place.
The sincere efforts of the University in this direction have already
started for producing good results. The most important achievement of the University has been getting of 12(B) status from
the UGC in a very short span of time of its inception and that too in very first inspection. This could be possible because of
good team work and sufficient human as well as physical infrastructure developed by the University in recent past. The
newly constructed academic block of the University has all kinds of world class facilities for teaching and research. The
University has also an active placement cell for the help of students in getting good jobs as per their employability skills. The
University has also made MOUs with some foreign Universities as well as with industrial units for promoting research in
socially and industrially relevant areas and launched information technology centre and regional patent cell at its campus
and is also in touch with UGC for starting some of the e-courses which have been developed by the UGC. All these efforts
would prove to be a turning point for the robust and desired growth of the University in achieving the overall objectives of
the national education policy of the Government. The ultimate objective of the University is to create virtual world of
learning dynamics and education re-engineering so that transformational and strategic academic leadership could develop
over the years.
We can achieve this goal by collective effort and mutual trust. I am delighted to serve this University with my all energy and
potential to enhance access, equity, relevance and excellence in higher education.
At the end, I would request to empower yourself not only academically but also with traits of a sober human beings
dedicated to the service of Motherland.
Again, I wish the best of luck and success in your life.
Prof. Madhusudan Sharma

School of
Heritage, Tourism, Museology and Archaeology
Heritage, Tourism, Museology and Archaeology is an innovative teaching course in history in the dimension of conservation and
proliferation of art, culture and Indian heritage. The main attraction of the course would be that students shall not only get the theoretical
knowledge of art, culture and museum science but they would also get cherished opportunity to practically peep into the art culture and
different heritage sites.
Advance teaching in the area of
history of art, heritage and museum
needs proper attention and research
that will unfold many hidden facets.
st
At this juncture of 21 century, it
appears to be appropriate for us to
review the role of museums in
protection of heritage and to justify
the continuance and relevance of
museums in the rapidly transforming
society in projecting the various faces
of history and culture of Indian
people.
Over the last couple of decades, the
prospective of the study of history
have gradually changed. History is no
longer a mere study of past events but
its scope has broadened. Along with
the discoveries of new inscriptions,
relics, easier access to archives and
the numerous collections of private paper the hitherto neglected areas like regional studies have come to focus. The emphasis on
regional histories is all the more appropriate as besides preserving and compiling the local tradition culture they also complement the
reconstruction of national histories from earliest times to the present era. The architecture and sculpture, wealth of a region have enough
examples to prove that the people and the rulers both were great lover of art. The study of the tradition of Art in Hadoti helps in
reconstruction of history by making the people aware about the history, culture and socio religious factors of the region. This course is an
attempt to combine the study of Art and Heritage of Hadoti with Museum science.
Recently Govt. of Rajasthan recognized the functioning and grant for establishing School of Heritage, Tourism, Museology and
Archaeology in University of Kota and sanctioned many permanent faculty members (Professor, Associate Professor and Assistant
Professor etc.) and non-teaching staffs.
Soon we are going to start job oriented certificate as well as diploma courses in the field of Tourism, Museology and Archaeology. With
Heritage, Tourism, Museology and Archaeology you earn not just a degree but get inspired and motivated to conserve, protect and
preserve our Heritage.

The Wildlife program is a very rigorous program designed to provide the education and experience for being of wildlife professionals. The
course is entirely taught by Guest faculty and Extension lectures of specialized experts from India and Abroad are conducted to ensure the
exposure of the students to the latest research and monitoring
skills, techniques and software in their respective field. Students
from all over India are undergoing the course. At present,
department has students from Sikkim, Nepal, West-Bengal, Bihar,
Haryana, Gujarat and parts of Rajasthan. The intricately structured
course ensures the right amalgamation of theory and practical
training. It instills in the young minds the spirit of scientific enquiry
and acute sensitivity to environmental issues. The two-year course
in Wildlife Science at the University of Kota, not only seeks to meet
the increasing demand for research and monitoring of wildlife and
their habitats, but provide trained biologists to further the cause of
wildlife conservation and also serve as a model for developing
higher education elsewhere in the country.

OBJECTIVES
A solid understanding of the biology and ecology of wildlife species through field work and classes in limnology, ornithology,
mammalogy, herpetology, ichthyology, etc.
An opportunity to gain field/research experience using the latest techniques and tools of wildlife science by assisting students with
research projects and through field trips.
The M.Sc. course in Wildlife Science has been developed to impart training in the field of wildlife science and to further the cause of
wildlife conservation in India and elsewhere. For several years, there has been a demand for increased research and monitoring of
the wildlife populations and their habitats all over the country. The threat of species extinction is constantly increasing and the ways
to mitigate them requires a scientific approach. The management plans for Protected Areas in India require a strong scientific basis
for their successful implementation. Further, management practices, wildlife habitat and species populations need constant
monitoring if conservation efforts are to be effective. All this require trained personnel. This course aims to create trained wildlife
biologists who will effectively tackle these issues and challenges.
Collaborate with National and International Organization on Wildlife Research, Management and Training.
Job prospects
A lot of job profiles eagerly wait for the candidates with a degree of M.Sc. in Wildlife Science. The individuals are free to join as
