The MScBT students have to undergo mandatory practical training once in a year as a part of the program requirement. There will be two practical subjects, one each in ll and lV semesters. Each practical subject is of six credits. The duration of the practical training will be about 10 days. On the last day of the practical training, there will be an examination. Out of the total marks, 70% is meant for continuous assessment over the duration of the practical training and 30% for the final examination to be held on the last day of the practical training. Since this practical training requires advanced equipment and imported chemicals, it will be conducted only at the University designated nodal centres. These nodal centres are provided with full fledged infrastructure and trained staff to support the students. Practical training will be scheduled once in a year and it is compulsory for all the students to attend the practical training.
