Year 2 develops rearing house and environment control, chawki and late-age technology, mountages and cocoon handling, silkworm disease and grainage/seed organisation, industrial reeling and silk testing, and extension/enterprise themes including cooperatives, marketing, and the roles of the Central Silk Board and Directorate of Sericulture. Each of Papers I–IV is Theory 40 + Practical 60; practical competence is essential for the official trade pathway.
