In Biotechnology

The Biotechnology curriculum is being developed to ensure that the graduates of this program would combine some of the important abilities and skills of an engineer in design, modeling and simulation, production and quality control, of an information scientist in data processing and interpretation, data storage management and display, and data mining, and of a molecular biologist in genetic manipulation and genomics, tissue engineering, chemical synthesis and drug design, cell fusion and recombinant DNA techniques. The graduates would have interactions with engineers, information technologists and biologists both inside theInstitute and in the Biotechnology industry to ensure that they possess:

• Ability to understand the interface of Biology and Engineering.
• Ability to design experiments involving live organisms, perform and control such experiments and interpret results obtained.
• Ability to identify, formulate and solve biotechnology related problems in healthcare, agriculture, environment and energy sectors.
• Ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, chemistry, biology and engineering in an engineering problem-solving framework.
• Ability to assess new biomaterials and bio-processing techniques for improving efficiency or reducing pollution.
• Ability to use IT tools effectively in biotechnology processes for information processing, storage, transfer, retrieval and display and in the use of virtual reality environment for education and research.
• Ability to communicate effectively, both orally and in writing.
• Ability to work harmoniously in multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural teams.
• Understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.
• Appreciation of the need for and ability to engage in life-long learning.
• Ability to transfer laboratory results for large scale commercial production.
• Understanding of IPR and its implications on protecting local innovations as well as the competitiveness of Indian biotechnological products.

In Humanities and Social Sciences

Humanities and social science curriculum plays a vital role in grooming the graduates by imbibing the values of literature, Economics, Psychology and Sociology. The aim of these courses  are to foster an academic ambience by making them aware of the various issues concerning man and society,  cultivating critical mind  and analytical capabilities  and to  ensure that its  graduates possess:
