| The Post Graduate
Department of Biotechnology was introduced in the Self-financed
Stream of Women’s Christian College in the year 2000.
Since 2005, the Department has been following the autonomous
system. From its inception, the Department has been imparting
high-level knowledge in various
spheres of Biotechnology apart from rendering value-based education.
The State of the Art Laboratories, Hi-tech
Educational Kits and need-based information are the highlights
of the Department. The Post Graduate students are trained meticulously
so as to have a full-fledged kaleidoscopic
knowledge in all areas of Biotechnology, which is a multifaceted
subject. From the Academic year 2005-2006, the Department
has introduced a job oriented
Post Graduate Diploma in Advanced Medical
Laboratory Technology which caters to graduate students
with a Life Science background. |
