IBAB Postgraduate Diploma in Bioinformatics through
Modular Courses

NEW:

Course on GENOMICS, TRANSCRIPTOMICS AND PROTEOMICS starts from June 7th

Modular courses: IBAB is offering a Postgraduate Diploma in Bioinformatics through modular framework under the aegis of the Department of Information Technology, Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, Government of India. The program provides a unique opportunity for professionals in industry, the student community at large and others interested to acquire/enhance proficiency in the fast developing area of bioinformatics, but unable to do so through traditional rigid courses. It offers flexible course patterns and choice for what they wish to learn and enhance their capabilities. The entire course is divided into 5 modules and a number of sub-modules to facilitate progressive skill development, eventually leading to completion of the course at a pace convenient to the participants. Those completing all the modules will be awarded a Postgraduate Diploma.

Prerequisite for admission to modular courses:  Graduates/post graduates in science (all branches), engineering, agriculture, medicine and dentistry, etc.

To register yourself to these modular courses, kindly send in your latest resume to modcourse@ibab.ac.in mentioning the course of your interest.
