PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES (PEO)

PEO1: To provide the graduates with knowledge in microbiology and an overview of the processes that employ or deal with microbes that enables them to handle the safe and efficient use of microbiological applications with development of competence on par with global standards and helps the graduates for life-long learning.

PEO2 To prepare graduates by imparting skills to use technological developments related to current and advanced areas involving molecular diagnostics, immunotechnolgy, mass cultivation of microbes, downstream processing and nanotechnology with scope for upskilling in all potential future technologies so as to contribute effectively for Research & Development leading to patenting and publishing.

PEO3: To train graduates to choose a decent career option either as Entrepreneur or having a high degree of employability; or pursue higher education – by empowering students with basic interpersonal skills, ability to handle critical situations allowing them to be good team members as well as training to excel in competitive examinations.

PEO4: To impart a strong sense of social responsibility with awareness of professional and societal ethical values and scope to develop leadership capabilities.

PEO5 : To establish an environment that accentuates the requirement to fulfil life-long learning for the overall development of self and society at large.

PROGRAM OUTCOMES (PO)

PO1- Microbiology knowledge: Graduates will acquire microbiology specific knowledge including molecular biology, immunology and rDNA technology coupled with hands-on skills and leadership skills for a successful career.

PO2- Problem analysis: Graduates will be able to analyse, solve and troubleshoot problems in implementation of microbiological protocols.

PO3- Design/development of solutions: Graduates will develop creative thinking and cooperate with each other to solve problems in the field of microbiology.

PO4- Conduct investigations of complex problems: Graduates will acquire practical skills – which help in planning and designing protocols to validate hypothesis and execute experimental techniques independently as well as assimilate, analyse and interpret subsequent data.

PO5- Modern tool usage and communication: Graduates will effectively be able to manage resources and time using ICT and computer enabled devices and accomplish ability to understand and communicate all ideas effectively.

PO6- Environment sustainability and Ethics: Graduates will get adequate knowledge to use information and implement solutions for environmental protection and remediation. Graduates will be aware of their role and responsibility in handling and use of microbes including genetically modified microorganisms.

PO7- Lifelong learning: Graduates will carry on to learn and adapt in a world of constantly evolving technology.

PROGRAM SPECIFIC OUTCOME (PSO)

PSO1: Microbiology skills: The ability to understand the basic concepts related to the relevant fields of microbiology which will enable them to analyse and develop solutions to microbiology related problems.

PSO2: Microbiology related employability skills: The ability to use the acquired hands-on skills in microbiology, molecular biology, immunology, medical microbiology and screening for useful biomolecules within employment areas.

 PSO3: Successful Career and Entrepreneurship:  The ability to gainfully become an entrepreneur by using microorganisms to produce biofertilizers, mushrooms and pharmaceutically important biomolecules as well as using practical hands-on training to become employed in diagnostic, industrial, pharmaceutical, food and research and development laboratories.
