Message
H.N.G.U.
Department of Life Sciences is a high-profile, post-graduate level research and
teaching institute, offering M.Sc., M. Phil. and Ph.D. degrees. Department is offering
M.Sc. in Microbiology since 1998 with student intake of 25 per batch. The students
are exposed to the knowledge of fundamental and contemporary Microbiology and
are also trained in sophisticated instrumentation and computational skills. Our M.Sc.
Microbiology course curricula are updated every three years based on recent
advances in the subject. Students’ evaluation is based on a various criteria including
classroom participation, presentations, term papers, other assignments and more
importantly, external examinations. Our students are encouraged to participate in
seminars and workshops that are conducted on campus and off campus throughout
the year. With cutting edge curriculum, dedicated and accomplished faculty, in a
vibrant study environment we fabricate the Microbiology post graduates with
academic excellence and wide-ranging expertise on several broad fronts as well as
national character. The institute has made its niche by providing industry oriented
quality innovative courses, professional learning, competent and competitive
mindset to fulfill the aspirations of diverse employers. No wonder then that our
students are at Zydus Cadila, Claris, Intas, Ranbaxy, Sun Pharma which are from the
list of reputed national and multinational companies.

I wish a very successful career ahead to all the students and extend a very warm
welcome to prospective recruiters to include our institute in the list of prominent
institutions to be visited for campus placement. I am confident that the relationship
between industry and academia would prosper and strengthen by interaction and a
visit to the beautiful campus of the Hemchandracharya North Gujarat University,
Patan.

Department of Life Sciences is a premier academic and research institute in the North
Gujarat region. The department is multi disciplinary in nature offering Master Degree
in Botany, Biotechnology, Environmental Science and Microbiology.

The Department was established in November 1998 to cater the need of the higher
education in the field of science and technology. The department has the progressive
journey with 15 students of Microbiology seating in temporary premises to the
current strength of more than 100 students within a state of art premises.

Apart from the primary thrust of academics, the department is vigorously involved in
research. The department has completed various research projects and contributed
with several research publications to the society of science

Our students have proved their academic potential with excellent examination results
and good employment rate. Moreover, the immigration of many students to overseas
for higher education and employment indicates our global acceptance.
