PROJECT REPORT OR INDUSTRIAL TRAINING:

Apart from their regular lectures, they will undergo following:

Research Project: Learning of Research Methodology under the supervision of faculty members.

Research Methodology (Internal Project): The student will be assigned a small research project (includes all methodologies of Biotechnology) in the beginning of the second year and the report will be submitted at the end of second year.

Industrial Training: The student will undergo training in any Biotechnology Industry/Institute for 2 months during last semester. The report will be submitted at the end of second year. The project report will be evaluated by the External and Internal (Chairperson, BOS, Biotechnology) examiners. A seminar will, be conducted on the project by the same examiners.

Student Seminars: Students deliver two seminars during the course. The topics are selected from their syllabus.

Essays: Each student submits four essays. These essays are chosen from their syllabus

Quiz: Each student answer 4 quiz tests during the course.
