The objective of Masters of Science in Biotechnology program is to provide a broad overview of biotechnology, and thus produce graduates with
sufficient knowledge and expertise to apply them in basic biosciences research and teaching.
The program has following specific objectives:
1. To provide an intensive and in-depth knowledge to the students in diverse areas of basic biotechnology
2. To impart knowledge and skills necessary to biopharma sector
3. To train the students to take up wide variety of roles like researchers, scientists, and academicians
4. To provide the students hands on training for the technical review and literature search for designing research problems
5. To develop skills to become bio-entrepreneurs and to develop human resources for biotech industries
- Master of Science in Biotechnology (M.Sc., Biotechnology)
- Ph.D. in Biotechnology
- Postgraduate Diploma in Protein Expression and Scale-up. (PGDPES) – Under Biotechnology Skill Enhancement Programme (BiSEP) - A Govt. of Karnataka funded and Department of Biotechnology, Govt. of India supported programme Postgraduate Department of Biotechnology is equipped with state-of-art laboratory and class rooms. At present, its student intake capacity is 40 for M.Sc. and 20 for PGDPES programme. Postgraduates from this department have competed to get entry into the prestigious institutions such as IIT Delhi; IISc, Bangalore; CFTRI, Mysore; IICT, Hyderabad; BIOCON Research Pvt.
