Message from the Chairman
Welcome to the Department of Microbiology
The department of microbiology was established in the academic session 2009-2010 with permanent four faculty members and 15 students and started regular full-fledged academic activities in the following year. By the time, the department became expanded by students, teachers, office staff, class rooms and laboratory facilities. At present, a total of 160 students are studying in Bachelor and Master’s programs. We receive 40 students per year at undergraduate level. Currently we have 19 teachers who are very learned, trained, experienced and enthusiastic. We are dedicated to promote high quality education and research with the maximum use of our facilities. We have established an advanced molecular research laboratory. Besides, the existing laboratory facilities of the department, we collaborate with other laboratories of different universities and research institutions for conducting research for graduating students. We are always on the way to upgrade and standardize our educational and research capability with the demand of time and develop our department as an excellent resource of education and research.
About Department of Microbiology
The department offers a full-time, 4-year BSc (Hon’s) program in Microbiology. The course aims to give detailed knowledge and understanding of important aspects of Microbiology and as currently applied in industry, food, health and medical sciences, environmental management, and research. To be eligible for admission in the 4-year BSc (Hon’s) program, the candidates must have biology, chemistry and physics, including mathematics in their Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) Examination in Science group or recognized equivalent examinations. The educational qualification of the candidate shall be decided as per university admission rules. To obtain a bachelor's degree, a student must successfully complete the required number of total credit points with a final CGPA of 2.5 (at least 50% of marks).
The 4-year BSc (Hon’s) will span over 8 semesters with 140 credits. A minimum of 15 class hours will constitute one credit and will carry 25 marks. There shall be three types of courses: theoretical, practical/research project, and viva-voce. Of the total 140 credits, 106 credits are allocated for theoretical courses (departmental 84 and extra-departmental 22). Practical courses, including research projects, contain 26 credits. The theoretical course will include class teaching, open discussion, academic assignments, etc. Continuous assessment (30% of the final grade) and the semester final examination (70% of the final grade) will be used to evaluate each theoretical course. Practical courses for one credit point will be at least two contact hours in a week, and it will cover 10–20% of the total credit hours. During the final semester (8th semester), a research project will be assigned to the students, and it will be decided by the departmental academic committee. A viva-voce examination will have 8 credit points and will be held at the end of the 2nd semester-final examination in each academic year.
Apart from BSc, the department offers a full-time 1-year MSc program and a 1-year MSc (professional) program. Students must complete a total of 40 credits in the full-time MSc program, with 18 credits (theory only) completed in the first semester and 22 credits (theory, thesis/practical, and viva-voce) completed in the second semester.
Additionally, the department also offers a 2-year MPhil program.
