Biotech education is key to sustainable development and conservation of planet Earth. Be it creation of artificial life, stem cell research or gene mapping, biotechnology and bioinformatics have revolutionized our lives. Spectacular discoveries and advancements in biotechnology have led to the development of many array of products in the area of healthcare, agriculture and environment.

Objective

• Familiarize with the molecular and genetic tools used to analyze genomes, modify genetic material and techniques for modifying organisms to produce desired products.
• Plan for and manage formulation and execution of protocols and innovative technologies and/or products.
•  Enlighten issues of forensic and genetic identity with case studies.
• Educate basic philosophical and ethical considerations regarding genetic data, genetic manipulation and biosafety issues.
• Explore emerging technologies, innovations, and new products in the field of genomics and proteomics.

Bioinformatics is a scientific discipline that deals with the retrieval, storage, processing, analysis, and management of biological information through computational techniques. It uses mathematics, biology, and information technology to understand the biological importance of an extensive variety of data. Bioinformatics technologies are used in various pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors. It is majorly used in the medical sector, driven by the increasing use of bioinformatics for the drug discovery and development process. 

MBA Marketing Management is one of the oldest MBA courses and one of the most popular disciplines among students. This 2 year long course is divided into four semesters. The major subjects of MBA Marketing Management includes consumer behavior, advertising management, business marketing, digital marketing, service marketing, etc.

Under the 2-year M. Tech in Information Technology Programme, the students learn advanced areas related to Cloud, Network, Information & Data processing, security and privacy. They understand the open problems and current research work happening in these areas. Students are in this manner enabled to pursue research in domains related to Information Technology.

Food is one of the basic necessities for survival. Providing food security to the teeming millions is a day–to–day challenge that developing countries are facing today. The study and application of food science and technology principles would enable us to combat such difficult situations. In an era of increasing population, decreasing energy sources and increasing poverty, it is but imperative that appropriate technology, with an aim towards providing food security be developed. Applications in the realm of food production, processing and preservation could help transform the economic and cultural structure of developing nations across the globe.

Objective

• Acquaint the student with the basic scientific understanding of foods and food processing as determined through biochemistry, chemistry, microbiology, physics, and other sciences.
• Provide an insight into the process of translating scientific discovery into innovative food processing technologies.
• Food Science and Technology is the key to the conversion of raw agricultural materials into a wide variety of properly processed and preserved foods, thus contributing to the well-being, economy, standard of living, and progress of humanity.
• Demonstrate process, equipment and packages for food industry.
• Train manpower in Food Science, Food technology, Nutrition, Engineering, Marketing, Business Management and Product Development to meet demand of rapidly increasing food based industries. 

This is a post-graduate program of 3 years tenure , recognised by the Medical Council of India. The program involves rotational postings in the departments of Pathology, Anatomy, Biochemistry, Microbiology, General Medicine, TB and Chest Medicine and Dermatology. Besides General Pathology, the student is exposed to quality work in Cytology, Dermatopathology, Neuropathology, Oncopathology and Haematopathology. The department has a well equipped laboratory with state of art facilities and a dedicated post-graduate section with a penta-head microscope and well equipped library that is open round the clock.

The student thus gains from the state of art infrastructure coupled with dedicated and experienced teachers . The practical training entails, diagnostic interpretation of laboratory tests, histopathology and cytology. In addition to this the student gains by interaction with clinical services, understanding of technical methods, instrumentation, information systems, quality assurance and Laboratory management. This extensive practical training is backed by impartation of sound theoretical knowledge via the medium of lectures, seminars, case discussions and journal clubs.

The program gives adequate clinical and research experience to the student . It facilitates the development of excellent diagnostic skills in addition to a sound judgement in the practice of Pathology and all its sub-specialities

The Dravyaguna department mainly deals with the Dravya (medicine), Guna (properties) and its Karma (activity). It comprises of maetria medica, pharmacognosy, pharmacology and Ayurvedic clinical therapeutics. The curriculum is designed in such a way that, it includes Ayurvedic as well as contemporary knowledge of medicine.

A Dravyaguna expert can get jobs in several fields like government and private sector, academic (Ayurveda pharmaceutical colleges and companies), research oriented jobs as a Research officer in CCRAS, AYUSH department, pharmaceutical industries (Ayurveda as well as herbal unit), clinical research units. As Dravyaguna subject covers detailed study of medicinal plants, like identification, adulteration, substitution, agro technical aspects. It enables the physician to practice efficiently as compared to the practitioners of other specialties.
