|Training and Projects|
Today, there is a high demand of quality training in Bioinformatics from students of various disciplines. In India universities took early note of these developments and started many teaching programmes in IT, Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical. Students from all over the country have taken these programmes very actively and are enjoying these exciting new technologies. Over 60 programmes in the country are awarding M.Sc./M.Tech (Biotechnology), which is supported by Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Govt. of India. In addition to these, many private colleges and institutes have also started awarding M.Sc./M.Tech. (Biotechnology) and some of them even B.Sc. (Biotechnology).
Similarly large numbers of institution in the country are offering B.Tech. in IT, Computer Science, Bioinformatics or B.Pharma or M.Sc. in Life Science, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Botany, Zoology, Pharmaceutical Science, Information Technology, Computer Science or BCA, MCA programmes. Since most of the new departments in these disciplines have come up in a short distance of last few years and therefore, face problems related to adequate infrastructure and qualified faculty to conduct meaningful practicals and training in Bioinformatics.
As per some last year this year too, on overwhelming demand, we are planning to conduct the semester project (Dissertation) & training programme during the Summer and Winter season of 2010. The training shall be given at Industry standards for providing state of art practical knowledge to students in various fields of Bioinformatics.
