Programme Educational Objectives (PEO)

• PEO1:  The knowledge of microbiology can be applied for the sustainable welfare of human society, the program includes information on significant microorganisms involved in medical, agricultural, and industrial applications, enzymes, biomolecule’s structure and function, various tools and techniques, immunology, molecular biology, cell biology, and genetic engineering.
• PEO2:  Practical classes are intended to give the students laboratory expertise in microbiology. In addition to designing and carrying out experiments, students will be able to understand as well as analyze experimental data.
• PEO3:  The program equips students with the desired knowledge and skills necessary for them to pursue further education in the fields of microbiology and related fields, as well as in multidisciplinary fields including, biochemistry, biotechnology, and molecular biology. It will also assist in the development of a variety of generic skills important for fostering student entrepreneurship.
• PEO4:  The students will be exposed to a wide range of occupations and professions that mix the skills taught during the programme and this will help them to use them for environmental remediation, setting up of a start up, in development of medicine, pharmaceuticals, drug discovery and many more related disciplinesStudents will be acquainted to a wide range of occupations and professions that mix the skills taught during the program and this will help them to use them for environmental remediation, setting up of a start-up, in development of medicine, pharmaceuticals, drug discovery and many more related disciplines

Program Outcomes (PO’s)

• PO1:  Apply the knowledge acquired and comprehension of the principles of Microbiology as they relate to a variety of disciplines, including Medicine, Industry, the Environment, Genetics, Agriculture, Food, and others.
• PO2:  Use skills learned during the programme with fluency that will allow students to pursue higher education, find employment in a variety of industries, and build their entrepreneurship capabilities.
• PO3:  Exhibit essential practical abilities when dealing with microbes for research and application both in and out of the lab, including the application of sound microbiological principles.
• PO4:  Clearly and concisely express scientific ideas, experimental findings, and analytical arguments related to the field of microbiology.
• PO5:  Correlate the subject to society and explain the benefit of Microbiology in development and welfare of the mankind.
• PO6:  Keep themselves skilled and advanced in the subject as the course includes more practical, which helps the students get hands on experience about the subjects taught.

Programme Specific Outcome (PSO's)

• PSO1:  Students will acquire understanding of the concept of microbiology as they relate to diverse fields, including biochemistry, microbial physiology, molecular biology, and genetics.
• PSO2:  Students will demonstrate adequate proficiency in the use of tools, technological advancements, and microbiology-related procedures. They will also use theory testing and logical reasoning to plan and administer exams.
• PSO3:  Students will gain the required knowledge and skills necessary to use microbiology to identify problems involving microorganisms, discuss these with colleagues, and take corrective action.
• PSO4:  Students will become familiar with the processes, through which microorganisms acquire energy, carry out their metabolism, reproduce, survive, and interact with their surroundings, hosts, and host populations.
• PSO5:  The biological and medical sciences, environmental groups, public health, pharmaceutical, the food, dairy, and biotechnology industries are just a few of the career options available to students after completing this programme.
• PSO6:  The students will be skilled with computational statistical and other genetic manipulative techniques and tools required for modulating microbes for betterment.
