Program Outcome

Program outcomes:

This program is designed for the students to specialize in the field of Microbiology, emphasizes on  various branches of Biological sciences like Biochemistry, Genetics, Molecular biology and Immunology as well as branches of Microbiology such as Food microbiology, Medical microbiology and Industrial Microbiology. Students will gain knowledge about Chemistry till second year and Zoology in First year. Third year students will learn Food production and processing as an Applied Component along with Core Microbiology. Students will be exposed to the operational environment in the field of Medical, Food processing  and Pharmaceutical sectors. Students will enhance their professional, communication and employability skills through grounding in sectoral knowledge.
