M.Sc. in Microbiology is a two-year postgraduate programme that focuses on a more detailed and advanced study of microorganisms, including microbial cellular processes, their harmful and beneficial aspects, microbes for human welfare, molecular details of microbial cells, and the application of this knowledge for societal benefits in sectors such as healthcare, agriculture, soil and environment, food processing, and pharmaceuticals. The objective of the programme is to produce knowledgeable and skilled microbiologists by enhancing the abilities and skills of students and preparing them to apply microbiology theories to real-world problems faced by the industry.
Microbial genetics and physiology course includes the study of Microbial genome, predominantly of bacteria and bacteriophages. It includes concepts of central dogma, DNA replication, plasmid, bacteriophage lifecycle, regulation of gene expression. The microbial physiology part includes growth parameters and nutrient requirements of microorganisms and microbial cell signalling. The Practical component include isolation of plasmid DNA, chromosomal DNA, electrophoresis, preparation of competent cell, transformation (Blue-white screening).
Introduction to Microbiology &Microbial Diversity course include the study of history of microbiology, different bacterial, fungi, viral pathogens, their general characteristics, Microbes and their interaction with the environment, bioremediation ,bioleaching,. It also includes the practical component bearing the diagnostic tests, biochemical tests, isolation techniques, staining techniques for identification of bacterial and fungal pathogens.
Biochemistry combines biology and chemistry to study living matter. It powers scientific and medical discovery in fields such as pharmaceuticals, forensics and nutrition. With biochemistry, you will study chemical reactions at a molecular level to better understand the world and develop new ways to harness these.
This subject teaches the fundamental theory, design and operational principles of instruments and the development of technologies for the measurement and manipulation of parameters within biological systems.

Also to discuss the application of the knowledge of microbial genetics and genetic engineering techniques to produce strains applicable in biotechnology and study the structure, function, energy metabolism, growth and regulatory mechanisms of microorganisms.
This course will help the students to study the structures of biomolecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. It also covers the functions and interactions of biomolecules, which will provide knowledge of the structure of cells and the various functions performed by them which are associated with life and to study the metabolic pathways of biomolecules like carbohydrates, amino acids, etc.
This course will help the students study the detail of various instruments and their principle of working.
The key aim is to seed the skills of the student to evaluate recent progress in a specific field, put research findings published in the preceding 1-2 years into a socio–research context, and explain future directions for research as appropriate. Also to build the ability of the Post Graduate Students to summarize the recent insights/advances in the specific research areas within the scope of Microbiology.
