OVERVIEW
Department of Biosciences was established in the year 2012 with an integrated approach towards higher education, research and development in diverse areas of Life Sciences. The department offers programs at Under-Graduate (BSc) and Post-Graduate (MSc) level in Biotechnology. The BSc (Hons) Biotechnology & BSc (Hons) Microbiology programs are specifically designed to learn about the fundamentals properties of living organisms and their impacts on the quality of life. The department follows the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) approved by the UGC and offers various Discipline Specific Courses, Skill Enhancement courses and Programme Elective Courses in all the programs. The PG course (MSc Biotechnology) is specifically designed to groom the students for advanced research and development. The department also offers PhD programme in different field of biological sciences such as such as Experimental Morphogenesis, Bioprocess Engineering and Downstream Processing, Nanotechnology, Bioinformatics, Structural Biology, Microbial Fuel cell Technology, Cancer Biology, Metabolomics, Molecular Biology and Animal Cell Culture etc.
The department aims to meet the targeted demands to cater the requirements of biotechnology/ biopharmaceutical/agriculture/microbiology-based industries apart from fundamental research. The Department train students as per the current requirements of industry and academia. Students are provided an opportunity to carry on research projects which may help them to grasp independent projects in future.
To enhance the research outputs, the department has done MoUs with different universities, industries and research institutes. The department has received external findings in the form of research grants from various agencies such as DST-FIST, DST-PURSE, DST-SERB New Delhi, ICMR, New Delhi, DBT, New Delhi, ROCL, Rajasthan, DST-Imprint, NMPB, New Delhi and DST-Rajasthan etc. Programs have been carefully designed with interdisciplinary, value added courses with focus on Employability/Entrepreneurship/Skill Development of the students."
