To foster innovation and adaptability, we provide engaging mini projects that allow students to unleash their creativity, problem-solving skills, and teamwork abilities.

    These projects enable students to tackle microbiological challenges and develop innovative solutions.Recognizing the importance of independent study in the field of microbiology, we integrate opportunities for students to explore and delve deeper into their areas of interest. Through MOOCs platforms, students can access a vast array of resources and expand their knowledge base.

    The pinnacle of our pedagogy is the major project, a comprehensive undertaking that enables M.Sc. Microbiology students to delve deep into a subject of their choice. This project showcases their expertise and research acumen, preparing them for advanced research or industry roles. To bridge the gap between theory and real-world application, we require all our M.Sc. Microbiology students undertake a mandatory six-month internship. This internship provides invaluable practical exposure, allowing students to apply their theoretical knowledge in professional settings and gain hands-on experience.

    Our assessment methods for the M.Sc. Microbiology degree courses are diverse and comprehensive. Internal assessment quizzes, end-semester examinations, and viva sessions for projects and internships form an integral part of our evaluation process.

    Additionally, students are challenged with case study solving, field surveys, and field visits, which provide practical exposure and enhance their understanding of real-world applications. Through our multifaceted assessment approach, we ensure that M.Sc. Microbiology students are not only well-prepared academically but also equipped with practical skills, critical thinking abilities, and a deep understanding of how microbiology applies to real-world situations.
