MS 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 MS by research 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
The students will acquire sound concepts and learn to independently carry out research.
Course 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.
