Introduction & overview
The School of Life Sciences was started in the year to offer Integrated MSc-PhD course in Biochemistry, Biotechnology and Microbiology with five internationally trained PhD degree holding faculty members and sixteen students. Our decision to start these courses was in view of the challenges faced by the Postgraduate degree holders in these areas to get into PhD programme.
However, with changing regulations the School stopped offering Integrated Courses and over the years now has three departments under the School:
