ABOUT UGC-NETWORKING RESOURCE CENTRE

IN BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES

UGC, New Delhi has created Networking Resource Centre's in various disciplines at leading University Departments/Research Institutions in India. The major objectives of the centres are to promote collaborative research, to provide access to advanced research facilities and to impart training to young researchers working in frontier areas of the respected subjects. SBS has been recognized as a "Networking Resource Centre in Biological Sciences (NRCBS)". UGC-NRCBS, MKU, with its state-of-the-art infrastructure, is functioning as a resource centre for training and research collaborations. The activities of the UGC-NRCBS include:

i) organizing summer and winter schools,

ii) guidance of Ph.D students of other institute on experimental trouble shooting and research methodology,

iii) support for Ph.D students who are in need of equipment/laboratory facilities and

iv) strengthening the collaborative research initiatives in Biological Sciences among universities and research institutes.

GENESIS OF "ON-SITE" WORKSHOP PROGRAMME

As there is a great demand for these training programme, conducted by NRCBS MKU and recently, we proposed to conduct these workshops 'On Site' to cater the need of large number of research scholars/faculty in remote places who are deprived of the modern research facility / mentoring support in Biological Sciences. The faculty and NRCBS team ofSBS will visit and conduct the 'On Site' workshop at the selected Institute/ University and provide 'Hands On' training and mentoring the researchers working in Biological Sciences. The proposed "On Site" workshop is on the theme of "Computational genomics and its application" as per the request received from SV University, Tirupati to train their researchers.

ABOUT THE ON-SITE WORKSHOP

Technological advances over the past two decades have led to the accumulation of whole genome sequence data. As the number of sequenced genomes rapidly increases, searching and comparing sequence features within and between species has become a part of most biological inquires. Comparative genomics helps identifying potential new drug targets, such as putative essential genes and/or those affecting the cell viability that are conserved in pathogenic organisms. Complete genome sequences will be retrieved, analyzed through genome browsers to get the required functional information. Available genomic data can be utilized to design molecular biological experiments, using In SilicD simulations. PCR primer designing and In SilicD simulations can be efficiently used to check the specificity of the designed experiments. Awareness on the available genomic data is limited. Submission of the indigenous sequences derived from the experiments using Sakura and other tools is limited and the participants will be given training on the above aspects. The main objective of this "On Site" workshop program is to introduce the resources available in public domain with their applications in the advance functional genomic studies.

NATURE OF THE COURSE

The course will consist of expert lectures and hands-on practical training in Computational Genomics with their applications, so that the participants can apply them in their research programmes. The training will be techniques oriented and 80% of the time will be given for the practical sessions and the participants will be allowed to carry out the laboratory exercises individually.

1.4. Postgraduate Admissions with MHRD Scholarship
 

As per the directives of the MHRD, the following procedure is to be adopted for admission to the postgraduate programmes (Master and Doctoral) with MHRD scholarship/assistantship. The performance of the candidate in GATE will be considered for admission. If the candidate is to be selected through interview for postgraduate programmes, minimum 70% weightage is to be given to the performance in GATE. The remaining weightage (30% maximum) can be given to the candidate’s academic record or performance in interview. The admitting institution could however prescribe minimum passing percentage of marks in the interview. Some colleges/institutes specify GATE qualification as the mandatory requirement even for admission without MHRD scholarship/assistantship.

Candidates are advised to seek details of admission procedures and availability of MHRD scholarship/ assistantship from the concerned admitting institution. The criteria for postgraduate admission with scholarship/ assistantship are different for different admitting institutions. The management of the postgraduate scholarship/assistantship is also the responsibility of the admitting institution. Similarly, reservation of seats under different categories is as per the policies and norms prevailing at the admitting institution and Government of India rules. GATE offices will not entertain any enquiry about admission, reservation of seats or award of scholarship/assistantship.

A candidate declared “Qualified in GATE at the time of admission” is entitled for MHRD fellowship for 24 months unless he/she loses it due to poor performance in the registered programme. The students of Integrated Master Degree and Dual Degree programmes in Engineering/Technology are eligible to appear in GATE 2012 in order to qualify for the postgraduate scholarships in their own institutions only. They are not eligible for admission to a fresh M.E./M.Tech. programme.

1.5 Application Submission Process
 

a) Candidates need to apply/register ONLINE for GATE 2012. Application process for GATE 2012 is entirely ONLINE, and sale of application forms through banks / GATE office counters has been discontinued. Details for applying ONLINE are available on the websites of IISc and the seven IITs as given below in Table 2.

Table 2: Websites of IISc and IITs
