With the rapid expansion of healthcare, agriculture, and environmental solutions, the field of Biotechnology and Computational Biology offers immense opportunities for innovation and driving economic growth. This growing demand from academia, industry, and the Government of India highlights the need for a skilled workforce, making the Undergraduate Programme in Biotechnology and Computational Biology, paired with a minor in Management Studies, Information Technology, or Mass Communication and Journalism, a timely and valuable opportunity for students to gain a well-rounded, holistic education. This combination provides students with a strong foundation in Biotechnology and Computational techniques, while also equipping them with essential skills in business, technology, or media. This integrated approach will prepare the graduates to excel in diverse fields such as Research and Development, Biotech management, IT solutions for healthcare, and scientific communication, thus ensuring graduates are not only proficient in their core field but are also adaptable professionals, ready to take on real-world challenges.
Interdisciplinary Curriculum Design: The programme addresses the growing demand for interdisciplinary training by combining biotechnology with computational biology, offering a unique curriculum that fills a gap in existing educational offerings.
Practical Training & Skill Development: Emphasizing on applied learning, the programme includes lab work, computational projects, and industry internships, while providing training in both wet and dry lab skills, data analysis, and bioinformatics methods to further equip the students with industry-relevant expertise.
