The department of Microbiology and Biotechnology organized an intercollegiate seminar ‘BIOFACTES: Career dimensions in Microbiology, Biotechnology and Bioinformatics’ on 16th November 2009. The event was sponsored by Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, Venus International and ENTOD Pharmaceuticals
Summary :
The seminar was organized with the intention of guiding final year students into new career paths. In this competitive world, and with so many career opportunities its tough for students to decide the right direction and take up a field in which they would like to progress in.

Though Microbiology and Biotechnology are very much known subjects Bioinformatics is still unknown to most. And even with advent of technology the latest upcoming knowledge doesn't reach the student mass in general.
