Department of
Biological Sciences & Bioengineering (BSBE)
Structure of
the Ph.D program in BSBE
|
Students admitted to the PhD program in BSBE come
from a variety of backgrounds and programs, and hence the course work is tailored
to individual needs, and appropriate advises are given at the time of
joining. While the minimum credit requirement from the coursework is 36 (4
courses), the department in general recommends 54 credits (6 courses) from
course work as per the template given below. Students with M.D/M.Tech or equivalent background would credit 36 credits. All PhD
students must clear the four “zero credit” courses as well. |
