Preamble:
The Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering comprises of BT (Biotechnology) and BME(Biomedical Engineering) as core academic groups. Eligibility criteria and research areas are mentioned below. Students should mention in item No.10 (b) of Application Form in the order of priority the groups (BT, BME) they wish to join. Based on the respective eligibility criteria and academic performance, applications will be screened independently by these two groups for conducting interview, according to the priority mentioned by the candidate in the application form.
