Biotech Park starts finishing school

LUCKNOW: In order to impart necessary training to students of science, by exposing them to the demands and pressures of the job market, Biotech park, has started a Biotechnology Finishing School. It is a six-months certificate course. The institute has started the first batch of the course.
"This has been done after realizing the fact that every year about 4,000 students pass out with BTech, MSc, BSc degrees from the state but unfortunately they could not find proper placement," said PK Seth, CEO, Biotech park.
The course will ready the students for job, as they will be trained in skills not taught during their degree courses. The biotech park already provides training to students to students of MSc., B. Pharma, and Biotechnology. However, Finishing School is a different concept. It has got the approval from the Department of Biotechnology.
Two entrepreneur companies of the park have announced to employ students of finishing school after the certificate course and two other companies have offered for their training, Seth said. There are few scientific institues in South which have started the concept to help students of science pursuing higher degrees.
The Finishing School will let students have interaction with eminent scientists. The students will learn the skills to become entrepreneurs and know the demands of today's market.
