After successful completion of the three-year B.Sc. (Honours) degree program in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, students should be able to achieve the following objectives/ outcomes:

Program Specific Outcomes (PSO):

  • Develop a strong foundation of Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Biophysics and instrumentation techniques and their applications to examine and appreciate the inherent complexity of Biological systems at molecular level.
  • Conceptualise the molecular and genetic basis of diseases and traits observed in species and populations. Develop advanced level concepts of Microbiology and Immunology and their applications in health and disease.
  • Understand the principles and applications of Recombinant DNA technology and Bioinformatics to address Medical, Agricultural and Environmental problems. Be aware about the regulatory and ethical considerations associated with genetically engineered organisms and their environmental impact. Be alert about protection of Intellectual Property Rights associated with generation of novel commercial products by value addition to indigenous bio-resources.
  • Undertake an interdisciplinary approach to Design and conduct experiments in the above areas following prescribed laboratory standards. Be competent to acquire, analyse and interpret the data to arrive at unbiased conclusions. Troubleshoot problems and devise alternatives to existing procedures.

Course Outcomes (CO):

CO1: Develop ideas on Biology and Biochemistry.

CO2: Understand and solve problems of Cell Biology, Biophysics and instrumentation.

CO3: Analyse molecular-genetic problems through statistical tools.

CO4: Comprehend Microbiology and Microbial genetics.

CO5: Appreciate the Immune system and its impact on health.

CO6: Explore the basic tools and techniques of recombinant DNA technology for manipulation of organisms at genetic level.

CO7: Have a thorough understanding of the applied aspects of advanced molecular biology and bioinformatics.

CO8: Be competent in applying biotechnology towards generating solutions to complex problems in Agriculture, Medicine, Environmental science and conservation of biodiversity.

CO9: Be fully sensitive about bioethics and biosafety issues associated with the development of genetically engineered products/ processes.

CO10: Conversed with patent laws and capable of preserving Intellectual property rights for novel innovations.
