Introduction
The Department of Biosciences was established with the objective to deliver high quality education and training in advanced areas of Life Sciences. Bioscience here intersects with a number of other scientific branches. The aim is to develop the School as a Center of Excellence and deliver high quality teaching-learning matching the needs of the contemporary world of industry.
The School adopts blended student-centric methodology enabling them to imbibe effectively. Students are exposed to Inter-disciplinary programs & projects, Lectures Group Activities, Guest Speakers, and one-on-one discussion, with use of Multimedia. External exposure includes Conferences, Seminars, Special Workshops, Research based Projects, Assignments/ field projects, and Practical work.
We have a highly competent team of faculty members with a combination of both industry and academia with all having doctoral degrees.
Cutting edge technology, including sophisticated computer labs with relevant software keeps the students abreast of the latest developments in the field.
The students passing out of Biosciences programs can find jobs in the areas of Research, Industry viz pharma, medical instrument sector, FMCG, dairy, agriculture, etc.
Highlights
- Industry-Academia Interface
