DEPARTMENT OF MicroBiology

History

The department of Microbiology was started with under graduate (B.Sc., microbiology) in the year 1994 and later Post Graduate in Applied Microbiology was established with 16 seats in 1997 and it has been grown up to 26 seats in the year 2001.

The immense support and guidance given by the management paved way for additional sections in B.Sc. Microbiology. The B.Sc. Microbiology was established with 2 sections in 2002 and 3 sections in 2004 by the mainstay provision of management. And around 150 students have studied every year.

The department has been offering also additional courses like DMLT, HACCP, food safety and control and mini projects for the students giving them a bright future before they complete degree in this college.

The department has been organizing various guest lectures, symposium, inter-collegiate competition every year and has organized national conference (biodegradation & bioremediation in 2009 & 2010) and carrier guidance programme for school students (2013 &2014).

Higher studies

Every year students pursued their higher education in various fields of microbiology in IBMS, Tharamani, Madras University- Guindy campus for PG and other research institutes for Ph.D & PDF. Most of them are placed well in reputed institutions with a sound package. The institutes are such as Cancer research institute, Govt. and private hospitals, laboratories, Food corporation of India (FCI),CLRI, food and beverage Industries, water companies, other universities, research institutes, self financing and aided colleges, e-publishing companies, etc. as a microbiologist, research asst.(JRF/SRF), food control officer, manager, HR, Quality controller, drug designer, Team leader, project asst., project manager, medical transcriptionist, lab asst., assistant and associate professors, professors, head of the dpt. etc.

To improve the talent of each and every student, the department organizes the following competition every week.
