Kannur University MSC in Wood Science and Technology
The Kannur University started M.Sc. Degree Programme in Wood Science and
Technology in the Department of Wood Science and Technology under the School of
Wood Science and Technology in the year 2007.
The Objective of the Course was to Strengthen the Process of Sustainable and
Environment-Friendly Utilization of Timber Resource of the region through
conduction of PG Programme relevant to the field of wood utilization and with a future
aim of starting Doctoral Programme for carrying out research relevant to the concerned
fields.
So far, the Department has produced five batches of M.Sc. Wood Science and
Technology students. However, after its inception, the course with a student strength of
20 became gradually reduced and was found not successful in making an impact on
which it actually aimed at due to various factors, and resulted in overall stagnation in the
functioning of the Department.
At this juncture, University had come forward with a novel idea of improving the existing
course by changing its mode into an Industry-linked Programme with collaborative
support from the pioneering wood-based Industry in Asia, The Western India Plywood
Ltd. (WIP), Baliapatam, Kannur, Kerala.
The New (Industry-linked) M.Sc. Wood Science and Technology Programme
launched in September 2015. After the Orientation Programme, students are undergoing
In-Plant Training and Work Experience in various units in the WIP from first week of
November 2015 onwards.
The students are attending the Training and Work Experience Programme at the WIP in
batch- wise (12 students each), for one month and will be back to the Department for
attending the Theory and Practical Classes.
Then second batch of students will move to the WIP for In-Plant Training. This process
will be repeated every month till the end of the Course, in such a way that the Dual
Benefit of Classroom Teaching/Learning and Practical Exposure and Work Experience
will be attained by the all the students.
All the students attended In-Plant Training at WIP will be provided a monthly stipend of
Rs. 5000 by WIP.
Also, efforts for attaining 100 per cent Placement to successful candidates from the
Department has been agreed by WIP.
Thus, it is envisaged that with the introduction of the New Industry-Linked PG
Programme, the Department will be able to produce a highly talented and experienced
Wood Scientists cum Technologists.
At present, the Department is having the State of the Art Classroom Facilities – Smart
Classroom with Interactive Whiteboard, DLP Projection and Audio Systems and Internet
Connections.
It is envisaged that there is ample scope for elevating of the Department for conducting
Doctoral Research in areas of Wood Science and Technology. Laboratory and Research
Facilities need to be enhanced and strengthened accordingly.
