BS - Bioinformatics
 
     
 

This program is designed to produce diversified concepts of Bioinformatics. The curriculum is a well thought out mixture of essential courses from biological sciences, computer sciences and mathematics. Keeping in view the modern requirements, the main focus is not only on biological research, a thorough understanding of divisive concepts such as database, programming and algorithms are also developed. Furthermore, to acquire hands on experience, most of the Bioinformatics courses are supported by projects and lab work.

In the final stages of their degree students are also placed in relevant industry as internees to further acquire real life problem-solving skills and gain exposure to the latest technologies in applications. The students are also required to complete a final year project based on either research or industrial problem. The project is expected to have some value to the organization or industry.
