Course Curriculum Overview :
M.Sc in bioinformatics is one of the unique course which is the combination of biotechnology and information technology. I choose this course because in today's world, scope of bioinformatics is progressively increasing in India and overseas. The professors of BT & BI have more than 10 years of teaching experience and involved in research paper publication with reputed journals like Springer and Nature. The students faculty ratio of the department is 14:1. All the faculty members holded PhD and postdoc from IITs and Foreign universities. Although the faculty members are very punctual to cover the entire syllabus before the semester.The course curriculum is 70% based on CSIR/NET JRF, so the students who wants to crack NET exam, they does not need to prepare separately. 90% of students get 7.0 CGPA in semester exam.
