Biotechnology is one of the most fascinating and fastest growing fields in the broader domain of science and technology. It has a vital role to enact in the areas of Agriculture, Biochemical and Biomedical Engineering, Pharmaceutical industry. A substantial growth of biotech industry stems from the release of recombinant DNA products in the market. Environmenta biotechnology helps to maintain heathad better environment. Development of transgenics, biopesticides, biofertilizers could pave the way to grand success in agriculture. Gene therapy, molecular cloning, biopharming, tissue engineering, recombinant vaccine, molecular diagnostic kits, designer baby etc. are its overwhelming contribution to modern biology. Successful sequencing of human genome will help us in the development of person specific drug / character.
Genetics is a branch of biology that deals with the heredity and variation of organisms. The mechanism of heredity eluded researchers until this century when they accepted the theory that offspring inherit their traits by the transmission of discrete units of information now called genes. The gene concept became more clear with the discovery that genes consist of DNA. The arrangement of DNA into chromosomes of eukaryotic cells makes it possible to transmit tens of thousands of replicated genes accurately. The study of genetics includes three aspects of genes; Transmission, Expression and mutations. Areas of study include both Mendelian and non-Mendelian hereditary diseases, genomics and mapping, Bioinformatics, developmental bio ogy, Neurogenetics, sex determination, cytogenetics, human malformation, and chromatin structure and function. Conceptual approaches to medically related biological problems are employed frequently with the aid of automation and advanced imaging techniques, towards the goal of disease prevention, control and eradication methods such as gene therapies.
Microbiology has gained
new stature. Micro-organisms & their activities increasingly central to many of
the concerns of society both nationally & internationally.
The problem of global environment, the recognition of the need to recycle natural
resources, the discovery of recombinant DNA & the resulting high technology of genetic
engineering these & other development have placed Microbiology in the lime light.
Microbiology has emerged as the key biological science. Micro-organisms provide
the model used in molecular biology for research. This research at molecular level
has provided and continues to provide the answers to numerous fundamental questions
in genetics, metabolism, cell forms & functions. There is a growing recognition
of the potential of microorganisms in many applied areas. The ability of micro-organisms
to degrade oil in oil spills, herbicide, pesticide, as an ability to supplement
food, to produce energy &other uses of micro-organisms are becoming increasingly
attractive.
Since the syllabus takes into account many frontiers of biology, the candidates
will also be in great demand abroad. Some of the interested will also be able to
do the doctoral studies both in lndia & abroad afler the completion of the PG Degree.
Basic sciences have a bottom-up approach which facilitates the specializations and super specializations towards the end of the education. The ideal syllabus covering basic, advanced and emerging trends in chemistry has made this course irresistible for an aspiring science graduate. Broad subject coverage like inorganic chemistry, polymer chemistry, physical chemistry, organic chemistry and analytical chemistry provides a very strong foundation of the concepts of chemistry.
Industrial chemistry is a combination of chemical technology and chemistry. Industrial visits and trainings are the flavors of industrial chemistry. The knowledge of subjects like unit operations, unit processes, plastics and polymers, dyes and drugs, management, safety and hazards, instrumentation, pollution and organic chemistry infuses confidence in students to work as an entrepreneur, research scientist, and plant in charge, lab chemist and in many other fields.
This is an undergraduate three years program where students are introduced to various areas of Computer Science, Programming, Database Design, Software Engineering, Networking and Information Systems. The course prepares graduates for further postgraduate degrees or employment in variety of roles in organizations requiring expert professionals who can apply computer science principles to solve problems induced between business and technology. BCA graduates can start their career as programmers and can rise to top level management. The course is aimed at developing the computer professionals in the wide range of application such as Business Sectors, Government Sectors, Scientific Research, Medical Science, Social Sciences, Management, and Communication etc.
With tremendous developments made in the field of Information Technology, the need for trained professionals has also increased over the years. Various companies require professional who can manage their sensitive data in a secure way. This course covers all the technical aspects such as software, database, networking etc. B. Sc. (IT) offers more options in management of systems which is combination of software, communication, internet etc Candidate with B. Sc. (IT) will have more exposer in management of systems and networks. The jobs opportunities related to information systems are: Programmer, Programmer Analyst, Business Systems Analysts, Systems Engineer, Systems Integration Engineer, System Administrator, Customer Engineer, Field Engineer, etc.
Language is a dynamic intermediate in the whole network of social systems and disciplines in the superstructure of culture. Theorist and linguist have proved that language powerfully conditions all out thinking about social condition and processes, whether they be scientific or otherwise. Post-modern phenomena like globalized economy, increasing cyberspaces, ever changing technology and medias cape have made it obligatory for every individual to come to close terms with language skills.
The Department of English at NVPAS is zealously committed to strengthen student's proficiency in English Language and Communication Skills in various forms. To accomplish this, the Department has developed various modules, which provide fascinating insights into structural, cultural and communicative aspects of English language. Apart from this, the college is constructing a state-of-the-art Language Laboratory with the capacity to accommodate seventy students at a time to integrate communication technology in language learning process as a way of enhancing interest and retention among students. In addition to the prescribed syllabus for B.Sc. and B.C.A. courses, the Department conducts an Orientation Program for the initial forty five days of the first term. This programme addresses the language needs of the students who studied in vernacular medium at school level and concentrates on elementary and intermediate principles of English Grammar. Regular use of Audiovisual aids and exhaustive task based exercises aim at grooming the speaking, writing, listening and presentation skills of students.
Food Technology Is An Applied Subject Which Deals With The Techniques Involved In The Production, Processing, Preservation, Packaging, Labeling, Quality Management And Distribution Of Different Categories Of Food. This Field Also Involves Tequniques And Process That Are Used To Trasform Raw Food Materials Into Value Added Food.
Career Prospects: Food Technology is a discipline which is expanding its horizons due to rapid urbanization and lifestyle changes worldwide. Being a branch of applied sciences, Food Technology is very multi-disciplinary in nature, just like Biomedical Science, Pharmacy or Translational Science. This discipline involves optimum study of chemistry (organic, inorganic and physical), biochemistry, microbiology, nutrition, chemical and process engineering. The field needs highly qualified and trained Food Technologist. Due to advancements in technology and our hectic daily life, there is an increasing demand for easy to prepare and easy to consume food items but without compromising its nutritive value. Factors like safety and quality also need to be kept in mind. Therefore, there is a growing market demand for more advancements and sophistication in the field of food technologies globally.
