Best Practices
Value-Added Courses and Skill Development
The department offers a range of value-added courses designed to enhance research aptitude and entrepreneurship skills among students. These courses provide additional training beyond the regular curriculum, covering advanced laboratory techniques, industry-oriented skills, and microbial applications. Students also receive support through internships, hands-on training, and placement assistance, preparing them for diverse career opportunities in academia, industry, and start-up ecosystems.
Extension Activity – Teaching–Learning Pedagogy
The extension activity is an innovative teaching–learning approach where postgraduate students take part in teaching school children as part of their curriculum. This activity enhances their communication and presentation skills while enabling them to design creative and student-friendly teaching methods. By simplifying complex microbiology concepts, PG students gain confidence and teaching experience, making the activity mutually enriching for both groups.
Institutional Social Service – Outreach Activities
As part of the department’s commitment to social responsibility, regular outreach programmes are conducted for the public and school children to create awareness about microbiology and health-related topics. Through interactive demonstrations, exhibitions, and awareness sessions, students communicate scientific concepts in a simple and engaging manner. This initiative strengthens community engagement and fosters scientific curiosity among young learners.
Research Culture Development
The Department of Microbiology actively nurtures a strong research culture among students by providing continuous exposure to scientific inquiry, laboratory-based learning, and mini-projects. Students are encouraged to explore advanced concepts, participate in research discussions, and engage in hands-on experimentation. This initiative motivates them to pursue higher education, develop industry-relevant skills, and contribute meaningfully to scientific advancement and societal well-being.
