Master of Science in Bioinformatics by Research

About the Program:

This is a research driven masters program meant for candidates with an exceptional background in one of the bioinformatics related domains. The duration of the course may extend beyond 2 yrs. Based on the decision of the academic committee, some of the core courses prescribed for the M Tech program may be waived for Master of Science students, depending on their background. They must however fulfill the minimum credit requirements for electives and thesis respectively.

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:

Around one year of course work followed by thesis work. Approximate duration 2 yrs.

Eligibility:

M.Sc in fundamental sciences, M.E/M Tech/B.E/B.Tech in CS/IT/Biotech/BioInformatics/BioMed, MCA.
