ACTIVITIES

STUDENT SUPPORT ACTIVITIES

Remedial Classes

Remedial classes helps students to gain a better understanding of a particular subject. By reviewing and focusing on the basics, students become better prepared to cope up with advanced classes. Remedial courses can also teach students to better study and learning habits, to help them succeed where they might have otherwise found difficulty. Remedial courses over being conduct for weekly twice by the professors for the weaker student to improve them in specific subject.

Coaching classes for NET/SLET/GATE

Our aim is to create persuasive environment for all biotechnology and life sciences candidates to become the acme in the field. Our motto is to show consistent results in Life science and biotechnology and to place our students in all leading Biotech institutes and universities of India. Here we help students to clear theoretical concepts and use them to solve the numerical problems. Coaching classes for National level eligibility exams are conducted weekly twice for the M.Sc students. The Study material and question paper in all respects are being provided to strengthen the knowledge of students.

Soft Skills programme

Soft skill programme is conducted every year for M. Sc and M. Phil students for getting confidence and knowledge before undergoing placement. Soft skill programme are designed for good communication skills, knowledge thinking skill, teambuilding and leadership skill, emotional intelligence skill and more.

Grievances Redressal Cell

The departmental level grievances are being attended by the concerned class mentors along with the Head of the Department. Grievances Redressal Cell is formed in order to keep the healthy working atmosphere among staff and students. This cell helps Students to record their complaints and solve their problems related to academics, resources and personal grievances.

Periyar University Biotechnologists Association – (PUBA)

Periyar university biotech association was started to support and facilitate the scholars and M.Sc students to develop good communications and disseminating information within in-housescientific community. Here, fortnight once meeting is conducted to discuss about the current research topics from the reputed journals. Scholars/ students will have an opportunity to present and discuss the research papers and gain confidence in facing the audiencein a better way.
