60 MonthsThe major in Life Sciences is offered as part of a five year Integrated Master of Science in Life Sciences programme. It is a distinctive programme which introduces students to modern concepts in biology ranging from molecules to ecosystems. The major introduces students to the basic areas of biology as cell biology, microbiology, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology and later in certain specialised branches of biology such as cancer biology, nanotechnology, research methodology, recombinant DNA technology and bioinformatics. The laboratory courses will introduce students to research methods in biology and the 18 months long Masters thesis will help them to continue their research in an area of their interest. Students wanting to pursue their career in industry can substitute their credits with an extended industry internship or an industry project. Through the interdisciplinary approach, they will be able to think even outside biology and try to solve a problem from different angles and to become well-rounded scientists.
Students with Biology, Physics, Chemistry subjects in the 12th standard
Admission Eligibility - The Integrated Master of Science in Life Sciences programme is open to anyone who has completed class 12 or equivalent with Biology, Physics and Chemistry – all three subjects being required.
Students without Biology/Chemistry/Physics as a subject in the 12th standard
Candidates who do not have one or more of these subjects at class 12, will have to take prescribed MOOC Courses in one or more subjects out of Biology/Chemistry/Physics (whichever were not at her plus two-level) and achieve a satisfactory grade in those courses as prescribed by the University. The student can then apply for a Major in Life Sciences. Credits or Grades obtained in the above referred MOOC (qualifying exams) courses will not appear in the University transcripts.
For the above category of students, over and above the subject specific MOOC Courses, the University may also insist on clearing its own Diagnostic Test, in the corresponding subject(s) (up to class 12 level Biology and/or Physics and/or Chemistry of the CBSE level) to be conducted in June every year. Based on the scores/grades of the candidate, a committee constituted by the university may approve the admission to the major.
