Learning is not the product of teaching. Learning is the product of the activity of Learners - John Holt

Microbiology Students Association

The Microbiology Students Association (MSA) under the umbrella of Microbiology-Biotechnology Association conducts a variety of programs for the students. Activities include subject-based competitions (poster-making, model making, debates, seminar presentations and essay writing), movie screenings, guest lectures by scientists, career related seminars etc. Such co-curricular activities help to create interest in students for their subject domains and provide a enriching and fresh perspective. It also helps in development of soft skills and hone their organizational capabilities. Prizes are awarded to students who excel in academics and such co-curricular activities. The freshers are welcomed every year with a humorous skit based on Microbiology. Education Visit to research institutes and industries are conducted for the S.Y.B.Sc., T.Y.B.Sc and M.Sc. students. A active student committee elected by the students overlooks the activities of the association with support of the teaching and non-teaching staff of the department.
