The M.Tech. programme in Marine Biotechnology sponsored by Department of Biotechnology, Government of India is an unique educational programme in its kind in India
_
Why M.Tech. in Marine Biotechnology?
To ignite young talented minds having strong foundation in Science to take up major challenges which human race faces and to find practical solutions through marine biotechnological interventions. The challenges to be addressed are:
- Food and nutritional security through enhancement of marine/aquatic food production through intensive aquaculture
- Depleting fuel stock and requirement of next generation fuel (Bio-fuel) for next generation human race
- Climate change and need of its reversal for survival
- Human and animal health related issues and requirement of next generation pharmaceuticals with least or no side effects
Over above three decades, Government of India has been supporting infrastructure development and research in focused areas of Marine Biotechnology to develop novel processes and products aiming at enhancement of marine biotech industrial processes, biomedical material development, environment management and intensive aquaculture production. In any such movement, appropriate manpower with the right mind set is a vital component, and to satisfy this requirement the M.Tech. programme in Marine Biotechnology has been conceptualized. The curriculum has been built with the global concept of education 'Find Solutions to the Human Problems in Class Rooms. Through this programme we look forward to generate Academicians, Scientists, Technocrats, Entrepreneurs and Planners to address the above cited issues and to find appropriate solutions.
The programme is offered at National Centre for Aquatic Animal Health, Cochin University of Science and Technology under the supervision of an Advisory Board constituted by the University as per the directives of DBT, having Vice Chancellor as the patron.
Admission to the programme is through the Combined Entrance Examination for Biotechnology Programme [CEEB] conducted by Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi.
