The Department of Biochemistry &
Molecular Biology offers M.Sc., and Ph.D. programmes in Biochemistry
& Molecular Biology (BMB). The Department has an excellent
complement of teaching faculties.
The Department is recognized for special funding under DST-FIST
programme and has also attracted extramural funding worth several
lakhs. The Departmental faculty has established research collaborations
with foreign investigators.
Research activities focus on Reproductive Biology, Plant Physiology
& Biotechnology, Thermophilic Enzymes, Phytoregulator-animal Cell
Interaction, Systematic & Developmental Anatomy and Biopesticies.
Besides the centralized facilities, the Department has excellent
sophisticated and modern equipments for wet-lab training, viz., UV-Vis
Spectrophotometers, Ultracentrifuge, High Speed Refrigerated
Centrifuges, Microfuges, Ultrasonicator, PCR Machine, Temperature
controlled plant growth chamber, CO2 Incubators, Geldoc
apparatus, Elisa reader and Ultrapure water purifier.
The Department admits students based on performance in the national
entrance examination. Several of our students have found entry into MS
and Ph.D. programmes in the USA and Europe. This Department offers a
congenial environment for training and individual growth.
Programmes
of Study
M.Sc. Biochemistry & Molecular Biology (BMB)
Ph.D. Biochemistry & Molecular Biology (Full-Time)
UGC/CSIR- NET qualified students are admitted to Ph.D.
programme. Students are also selected for Ph.D. programme if they are
selected as Fellows in research projects.
Entrance examination
Selection of students for M.Sc. is based on entrance examination
conducted at various centers in the country. The test consists of
multiple choice questions in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Zoology,
Botany, Chemistry, Biophysics, Microbiology, Genetics, Physiology and
allied areas.
