Biological Science

Yes, Biosciences students at chandigarh University have access to multiple internship programs designed to provide industry exposure and practical  experience. Undergraduate and postgraduate students can join summer training programs with partner organizations like life Science compaies, research labs, and biotech firms. Internships may last 30 to 40 days and include hands-on laboratory work, field studies, and exposure to industrial workflows. Postgraduate and Ph.D students can also participate in extended research internships, collaborating on industry-guided projects that often result in publications. Industrial visits to agro-based companies, reserach institutes, and biotechnology firms further enhance learning. These internships allow students to understand current industry practices, develop technical skills, and prepare for employment or higher studies. Participation in internships also helps students gain confidence, networking opportunities, and practical insight that complement classroom instruction.

Yes biosciences students at chandigarh university are provided with competitive exam training as part of the life skills and mentoring programme this programme every student gets mentor who support them with academic guidance, exam strategies and career advice the main goal is to prepare students for professional field is to prepare students for professional field by giving them the right training and confidence. The university also gives many chances outside the classroom like research project, industry visits and workshop these activities helps students understand how the things work in real life and improve their knowledge beyond books at UIBT, biosciences students use modern labs and takes part in innovative projects which sharpenes their practice and problem solving skills 

The laboratories for biosciences are well maintained with modern facilities. They are centrally air-conditioned and equipped with updated instruments for experiments. Proper hygiene and safety measures are followed so students can work in a clean space. As far as I know, there are labs like - Zoology Laboratory, Botany Laboratory, Chemistry Laboratory, Research Laboratory, Advanced Instrumentation, etc. Instruments such as microscopes, PCR machines, spectrophotometers, and incubators are checked regularly to ensure they work properly. Chemicals and biological samples are strictly followed. Waste materials, both solid and liquid, are disposed of using proper methods so that they dont't harm students or the environment. Teachers and lab assistants guide students on correct handling of specimens, chemicals, and equipment.

Chandigarh University offers advanced, ICT-enabled laboratoies for Biosciences students, including specialised facilities for Botany, Zoology, Microbiology, and Biotechnology. The labs are well-equipped for experimental learning, research internships, and projects work. Studnets have access to modern instrumets for plant tissue culture, animal physiology, environmental studies, and industrial microbiology. The department maintains a central resource library and equipment-sharing facilities to support research and dissertation work. Students regularly participate in industry-guided research projects and summer training programs, allowing hands-on exposure. Additionally, opportunities for publishing research papers, patent filing, and collaborating on interdisciplinary studies are available. The labs are complemented by workshops, model-making sessions, and field trips, offering a practical understanding of theoretical concepts and preparing students fro real-world challenges in life sciences and allied industries.

The Biosciences course at Chandigarh University focuses on a mix of interdisciplinary learning and practical experience. Students study subjects from micro to macro aspects of life sciences, including Zoology and Botany, while learning in modern ICT-enabled classrooms and labs. The programme encourages research, with chances to publish in reputed journals and participate in innovative projects. Students also benefit from skill-based training and workshops that improve employability in various biosciences careers. The curriculum is aligned with industry needs, ensuring students learn relevant skills. Regular expert talks, lab work, and industry visits give practical exposure beyond books. Faculty members have strong qualifications, including post-doctoral and international experience, offering guidance for both academic and career growth. With support for all types of learners and infrastructure that meets global standards, the programme prepares students well for careers or higher studies in biosciences.

Admission into Biosciences programs at Chandigarh University requires completion of higher secondary education with subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. For B.Sc. medical or its honors variant, students must have passed 10+2 or an equivalent examination from a recognised board. Postgraduate applicants must hold a relevant undergraduate degree in life sciences or a related field with satisfactory marks. Doctoral candidates are expected to possess a master's degree in Zoology, Botany, or allied areas. Chandigarh University also conducts thr CUCET (Chandiagrh University Common Entrance Test), which provides an additional route for admission and scholarship eligibility. Selection is merit-based, considering academic performance, entrance test scores, and sometimes portfolio or research experience. Meeting eligibility criteria enables students to participate in workshops, research projects, and industrial training programs designed to complement their academic learning. 

Yes, Chandigarh University arranges industrial and field visits for its biosciences students to give them practical exposure beyond classroom learning. For example, students have visited Panacea Biotech Ltd., where they observed the R&D labs, learned about drug synthesis, and saw how advanced analytical instruments are used in real-time research. Another visit was to the Centre of Innovation & Applied Bioprocessing (CIAB), where students explored equipment like fermenters, spray dryers, and analytical devices such as GC-MS and HPLC. These visits helps students understand industrial processes, bioprocessing techniques, and laboratory practices. Such experiences also complement their academic knowledge, making them more prepared for careers in biosciences. 

Biosciences students at Chandigarh University are to participate in a wide range of cultural like B.Sc. Microbiology, B.Sc. Zoology, and M.Sc. Botany join events such as cultural fests, scientific symposiums, workshops, and inter-college competitions. The University hosts events like techno-cultural festivals where Biosciences students showcase projects, cultural performances, and volunteer programs are also popular among them.These activities help students build confidence, social skills, and a sense of community. For many Biosciences students, these experiences are as important as academic learning because they provide opportunities to network, explore new skills, and create lasting memories while enriching their overall University life.
