The general purpose of the seminar course is to facilitate review of a specific research study and to discuss implications of the study for gaining knowledge. This course offers opportunity for the students to critically evaluate recent novel articles related to any field of biosciences/biotechnology that have been published in reputed journals. The student will prepare power point slides and present the selected article in front of an audience. This course thus creates an opportunity for the students to talk in a forum to keep them updated with the recent scientific literature.

This course is designed to let the students of non-thesis group (Group A) to perform experiments in Labs to facilitate an experiential and methodological learning environment. Students will gain significant hands-on training experience by performing in-depth lab experiments on various methods/techniques of molecular biology and biotechnology. This course also has a scope of engaging students in short-term laboratory/field work or in specific biotechnology-related assignment to promote research aptitude. The field work or the assignment will be determined by the respective course teachers.

All MS students of thesis group (Group B) must undergo a thesis work, which must encompasses originality, clarity of purpose and critical analysis in some areas of biotechnology under supervision of a faculty member. Students are expected to have an in-depth discussion with his/her supervisor before choosing a topic for thesis work. Students are encouraged to begin exploring/sharing ideas with his/her supervisor for initiating thesis work early in their program of study. After completion of the thesis work, students have to submit a dissertation and face a board for a defense.
