    students: 'Applied Techniques in Industry and Laboratories' started in academic year (2012-13).
  • Add-on Short-term Skill-based Certificate course for UG students proposed: 'Quality Control in Laboratories and Industries'


UGC sponsored Career Oriented Certificate Course:


Applied Techniques in Industry and Laboratories” was started in June 2012. The syllabus for the same was approved by University of Pune. Eleven students of T.Y.B.Sc Microbiology opted for this course in year 2016-17. The objectives of this course are to bridge the gap between academia and industry, to impart career and market oriented training, to impart soft skills and entrepreneurship skills and to empower students and increase their employability.

The highlights of the course are :

  • Practical and theoretical training by experts from industry
  • Training in Soft skills and entrepreneurship
  • Visits to various industries
  • Projects /training at various industries

An MOU was signed with Janakalyan Blood Bank and Kulkarni Laboratories and Quality Management Services for training of students. Students will receive a certificate on completion of required credits. Placement assistance will be offered to the students under this course.

Placement Cell Activities:

  • Campus Interviews/ Students are recommended for placement to industries/ institutes

  • Interactions: of current students with well-placed alumni in order to make the students aware of the opportunities and skill sets required for placement/ entrance examinations

  • UDAAN” was initiated in the month of August 2010 for giving the students maximum exposure to the vast opportunities available in industries before they take a decision of their future career. Each student of M.Sc. II gathers and displays the complete profile of one of the leading industries in the field of Pharmaceuticals, Food and Dairy, Agriculture, Medical Diagnostics and Research. The details of the industry includes the leading brands of the company, complete product range, various manufacturing and R & D facilities, their contact details, market share and also the current career prospects in various departments.



Project placements

Every year selected students are placed under the supervision of eminent professors to carry on their M.Sc. dissertation projects in reputed institutes which are as follows:

  1. Department of Biotechnology, SPPU
  2. Department of Chemistry, SPPU
  3. Department of Physics, SPPU
  4. School of Health Sciences, SPPU
  5. National Chemical Laboratory, Pune
  6. National Centre for Cell Science, Pune
  7. Agharkar Research Institute, Pune


Other activities:

  • Financial Aid:
    Staff members of the department have given financial support to students for their education.
  • Water Potability Testing:
    In Aug 2010, we have started a new activity of testing the Potability of drinking water available at our college, which is a basic need of everybody in the college. This activity is undertaken by T.Y.BSc. Microbiology students. While participating in this activity the students get exposure to the applied aspects of topics included in their undergraduate syllabus and carry out some of the techniques which are commonly used in many water testing laboratories which are certified under BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards).
  • Participation of students in Annual Science Exhibition, ‘Anubhuti’: where projects, models and posters are presented. The department also organizes ‘Rangoli’ and ‘Salad Decoration Competitions’ with Microbiology as a theme.
  • Science exhibition:
    Participation of students in Annual Science Exhibition, 'Anubhuti' is encouraged where posters, models, project work undertaken are displayed. The department also organizes 'Rangoli' and 'Salad Decoration Competitions' with Microbiology as a theme.


Anubhuti: Total number of participants:- 2015-2016

  1. Projects = 7(26 students)

  2. Posters = 4 (9 students)

  3. Models = 8 (26 students)
