The M.Sc., Biochemistry programme of two years is designed to help all the students to get good quality education in the field of Biochemistry so that they can find employment after their post graduation. The ultimate aim is to enable the students to develop an integrated approach for understanding the various life science problems at the molecular level. In addition, the present curriculum gives scope for vertical and horizontal mobility in the education system so that the students can enter different modules to update their knowledge depending upon the employment opportunities in each area. Various practical courses have been designed not only to enable the students to appreciate scientific basis of various life processes but also to train them for self-employment. The practical training will develop their reasoning ability to critically evaluate the results obtained from the projects.
There is a greater demand globally for trained manpower in the areas of Biochemistry for Research and Development, in multinational companies, public sectors, quality control labs, biopharmaceutical companies, Food industries as well as in universities and the present curriculum will cater to that needs.
