SCHOOL OF STUDIES IN BIOTECHNOLOGY |
| Programmes Offered: |
- M.Sc. Biotechnology
- Ph.D. Biotechnology
|
| Profile of the School : |
The M.Sc course in Biotechnology was started in SOS Biochemistry, Jiwaji University from the academic year 1996 with a seed money of Rs. 33 lakhs from University Grants Commission, New Delhi under emerging areas. The M.Sc Biotechnology course is made regular course of the University from the academic year 1997-98 onwards (vide notification no. F/Dev/97/2405 dated the 15th May, 1997) and thereafter, the programme is given the status of School in 2006. The School offers Master’s course in Biotechnology and Doctoral programs. So far thirteen batches of M.Sc Biotechnology students are out since the inception of the course from 1996. The postgraduate curriculum is updated from time to time to infuse the latest developments into the curriculum. Efforts are underway to develop industry oriented curriculum. The teaching program is strengthened by invited lectures from senior teachers and scientists from other Universities and National laboratories such as DRDE, Gwalior. On an average 10-15% students from every batch qualified NET/SLET/GATE examinations. Several students opted for academics are currently engaged in Postdoctoral research in reputed Universities of USA, Germany, France and UK. Many students joined as faculty scientists in National laboratories.
The research areas of focus in the School include Pharmaceutical biotechnology, Neutraceuticals, Immunodiagnostics, Plant tissue culture and Plant Biotechnology. The research projects funded by various funding agencies such as University Grants Commission, Madhya Pradesh Council of Science and Technology, Madhya Pradesh Council of Biotechnology, Defence Research and Development Establishment are in operation in the School. The school attempts to facilitate development of MOU with national labs and multinational companies for training and placement of students.
