PROGRAMME SPECIFIC OUTCOME (PSO)

The M.Sc. programme Bioinformatics at VISTAS has documented measurable outcomes that are based on the needs of the programme’s stakeholders. The programme specific outcomes that the department presently adapts to are as follows:

PSO-1: The syllabus addresses the need to introduce students to new tools and application in bioinformatics.

PSO-2: The PG course helps every candidate to analysis the software for data studies and comparisons and provides tools for modelling, visualizing, exploring and interpreting data.

PSO-3: To access the wealth of data to answer questions relevant to the average biologist, and is highly hands-on.

PSO-4: The main goal of the M.sc Bioinformatics to convert multitude of complex data into useful information and knowledge.

PSO-5: The course is intended to describe not only with the programming languages but it covers the proteomics, genomics, cell and molecular biology, genetic engineering, biochemical pathways etc., relevant to the improvement and development of mankind and industrial application purposes.
