Further the question items may includes parameters like advantages, disadvantages, comparison, effectiveness, etc. of concepts.
    • Question 3 and 6 include question of long answer of 150 words test the analytical ability to analyze a scenario and apply theory for the solution.
  • The letter grade awarded to a student in a course shall be based on CIE and SEE. The letter grades O A B C D E F indicate level of academic achievement assessed on a 10 point scale.
    Letter Grades: O A B C D E (Pass) F (Fail)
    Grade Points: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4
    Raw Score: 90% and above Below 90% - 80% and above Below 80% - 70% and above Below 70% - 60% and above Below 60% - 50% and below Below 50% - 40% and above Below 40%
  • The overall performance of a student will be indicated by two indices:
    SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) and CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average).
    SGPA is calculated on the basis of course credit and grade point of all courses in that semester. CGPA is cumulative in nature.

Programme Outcome (PO) & Programme Specific Outcomes (PSO)
Programme Outcome (PO)
  • PO 1: Knowledge: The students acquire strong theoretical background along with necessary skills and techniques in biological sciences and have the ability to use these tools in industry, hospitals, community and institutes or any other profession they would like to pursue.
  • PO 2: Core Competence: By studying the components of living cells, students can learn how to control, fix and modify them to our benefit. This knowledge has already lead to the creation and manufacture of products that help in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases (e.g. the production of antibiotics, insulin, and other genetically engineered medicines such as safer recombinant vaccines). Biotechnology is also playing a role in providing services in the areas like healthcare, food, agriculture, energy and the environment.
  • PO 3: Breadth: Biotechnology assimilates in itself a number of disciplines. There is a great demand for biotechnologists in countless diversified industries and sectors such as, Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, Environmental Conservation, Genetic Engineering, Health Care, Medicine, Industrial Research and Development.
  • PO 4: Preparation: The curriculum is designed in such a way that in the first year the students are exposed to the fundamental aspects of plant science, animal science, microbial world and chemistry. Subsequently, they are made to learn specialized aspects such as enzymology, immunology, bacteriology, tissue culture, genetic engineering etc along with practical applications. In addition, they are also introduced to the conservation aspects of biodiversity and business entrepreneurial skills. During fourth and fifth year the students are also supposed to work on the research project and submit the findings in the form of dissertation.
  • PO 5: Professionalism: Career opportunities for students in biotechnology are plentiful. Those specializing in different sub-disciplines of this field can easily find jobs in both private and government sector undertakings. The students who have acquired a post-graduate degree in biotechnology can easily find a suitable position in a number of industries. Major employers include industries engaged in processing and developing agricultural and biological products, bio-processing industries, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. There are ample opportunities in industries dealing with healthcare, textiles, and environmental health. Nowadays, a large number of biotechnology students are employed by different industries for environment protection activities and for the safe disposal of hazardous materials. In addition to academic study, the interested students are given opportunities to exhibit their talents in extracurricular activities through departmental competitions. The excelling students are further encouraged to participate at higher levels.
  • PO 6: Evaluation: Academic performance evaluation of a student is according to a letter grading system = Total of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) + Semester End Examination (SEE).
Programme Specific Outcomes (PSO)

After successful completion of program the Graduates will be able to ;

  • Identify and formulate healthcare, textile, cosmetics, agriculture, marine products.
  • Understand biology, mechanism, and dynamics and work on laboratory techniques involving microorganisms, plants and animals tissues.
  • Developing many useful products for man and cleaning the environment.
