The scheme helped to improve the quality of teaching, to boost interest of students
in the subject and motivate them for further studies and research.
Laboratory is strengthened due to DBT star status scheme
More hands-on exposure to students and educational tours for better understanding
of concepts are arranged.
Students got opportunity to interact with scientists, academician, industry persons
and researchers
Involvement of students in the research projects and inter-disciplinary activities are
enhanced.
Qualitative improvements due to DBT support
