The minimum qualification required to apply is a pass in the 10+2 examination in Science from PUC / ISC / CBSE or an equivalent board with Physics, Chemistry and Biology as core subjects.
The B.Sc. course in Biochemistry, Genetics, and Biotechnology at JAIN (Deemed-to-be University) offers students a valuable opportunity to expand their knowledge and grasp essential concepts. Covering diverse aspects of life, both micro and macro, this programme gives insights into Genetics. This examines the inheritance of traits through gene study, and Biochemistry. Also, exploring the intricate workings of biological molecules and their interactions within organisms and their environment. B.Sc. Biotechnology is a combination of biology and technology that deals with the aspects of using living systems ranging from microorganisms to macroscopic systems for the benefit of humankind.
The programme navigates scientific understanding and critical thinking by equipping students to pursue advanced research and studies like an M.Sc or Ph.D. Specialised fields such as Environmental and Agricultural Biotechnology, gene therapy, and bioinformatics while exploring genetics, molecular biology, and the fascinating realms of life, ageing, and disease are explored.
