Department Profile

A young and dynamic department supported by four experts from different fields- Molecular Biology, Tissue Culture, Medical Microbiology and Biochemistry. Our First batch of T.Y.s appeared for the University Exams in 2005, Second in 2006 and Third batch has just completed their exams. Since 2005, Thanks to the management, we have a well-equipped Tissue Culture Laboratory and we are now getting set to apply for a Research Project. In the new academic year, we will be holding a workshop in Bioinformatics by Dr. Gunjan Mukerji.
We generally get the toppers of the 12th Std. who are full of enthusiasm, both academically and in extra-curricular activities. Our students achieved and continue to achieve great laurels in their further ventures. We have a record of students who are university rankers as well and have excelled abroad in the higher education. They are others who have been selected in the topmost universities within India as well. Other students have chosen fields varied from call centers to flying to clinical research to pharmaceutical management as their career options.
