Molecular biology is an interdisciplinary science combining major fields like, Biochemistry, Bioinformatics, Genetics and Cell biology. A student of molecular Biology study molecules of biological importance such as DNA, RNA and proteins along with molecular events that administrate cellular functions. The Department promotes an active academic program to assist undergraduates in deciding the career and satisfy requirements for graduation. This program can be completed in four years. The Program structure is dynamic and enable the graduates to utilize the various options for future career.
Eligibility Criteria
At least 50 % marks in Intermediate (HSSC) or Equivalent examination with Biology certified by IBCC.
