Student goals and capabilities

The program focusses on practical laboratory skills applicable across various scientific industries. The program has students with Specializations in: Quality Assurance

 Cell & Microbiology

Chemistry & Quality Analyst

Learners are equipped with techniques in microbiology, molecular biology, chemistry, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Quality assurance, knowledge in upcoming analytical techniques like HPLC, AAS, ICP-OES, GC-MS, FTIR, UV-Vis, and others provides an extra edge to the projects we can handle. Learners can assist in projects that require precise scientific analysis and adherence to industry standards.
