About the Program
Students admitted to the program have to complete a course work followed by breadth and depth examinations apart from the thesis work.
Objectives
To provide opportunity to work on a challenging research problem in the area of Bioinformatics and computational biology.
Advantages (for the student)
The students will acquire sound concepts and learn to independently carry out research.
Duration
3 - 6 years
Eligibility
M.Sc in fundamental sciences, M.E/M Tech/B.E/B.Tech in CS/IT/Biotech/BioInformatics/BioMed, MCA.
Curriculum (Semester-wise)
Breadth Course requirements:
At least three courses from the following should be chosen.
MA6.301- MCS 1-Probability and Statistics + MA6.302 - MCS 2-Linear Algebra
