Programme

The academic programmes currently consist of the M.Sc. Biotechnology (supported by the Dept. of Biotechnology, Govt. of India), and Ph.D. programme. Both M.Sc. and Ph.D. Programmes have been designed to induct the students into both academic and industrial facets of different domains of Biotechnology. The major thrust areas of the teaching and research include Plant Molecular Breeding, Plant Functional Genomics, Conservation Biology & Genetics, Plant Bio-/ Chemo-diversity, Microbial Genetics, Immuno-Genetics, Infectious Disease Biology, Cancer Biology, Bioprocess Technology, Bioinformatics, and Bioprospecting of Ethno-pharmaceuticals. The Department has adopted choice-based curriculum for M.Sc. students based on the model syllabus prescribed by DBT, Govt. of India.

A)M.Sc. in Biotechnology

M. Sc. Biotechnology is a two years (four Semesters) course program with 30 seats. Each of the semesters comprises of both theories and practical papers. Papers are examined through a mid-semester and an end-semester examinations. Any Science Graduate(Physical Science, Chemical Science, Biological Science and/or Agriculture)in 10+2+3 pattern having 50% of marks in aggregate with biology at +2/ senior secondary level are eligible to apply for admission.

Admission Process into the M.Sc. in Biotechnology

The total number of seats in M.Sc. in Biotechnology is 30 (Thirty)

a. Admission through Graduate Aptitude Test-Biotechnology (GAT-B) conducted by DBT, Govt. of India through Regional Centre of Biotechnology, Faridabad): 10 Seats. These students will get a studentship of Rs. 5,000.00 per month.

b. Admission through Common P.G. Entrance Test (Higher Education Dept., Govt of Odisha): 20 Seats. These students get scholarship by different national and state agencies after successful screening of their applications.

B) Doctoral Degree (Ph.D. in Biotechnology)

The Department offers a Ph.D. program in Biotechnology as per the norms fixed by the University and its amendment from time to time. The award of the Ph.D. degree in Biotechnology is a recognition for distinguished achievements, development of scientific knowledge and their application for the solution of technical, scientific and societal problems.

Admission Process into the Ph.D. Course

Admission to the Ph.D. in Biotechnology is normally made on the basis of a written test conducted by the University to screen the candidates followed by an interview of the shortlisted candidates. The selection process is conducted by the Department through its Department Research Committee (DRC) as per the University norms.

M.Tech./M.Sc. or equivalent degree holders in Biotechnology or allied subjects with a valid score or qualification in national level examinations like CSIR/UGC-NET, DBT-JRF, ICMR-JRF, INSPIRE, etc are eligible for admission in to the Ph.D. programme.

Class Schedule

There are six teaching days per week except the official holidays with allotment of both theory and practical classes every day following UGC, India guidelines
