Strengths:
Weakness:
Opportunity:
Challenges:
Future plan:
| Young and enthusiastic staff, well established laboratories. |
Weakness:
| The students are not aware of the significance of the subject and due to lack of awareness the interest of students fades off. |
Opportunity:
| Research opportunity via VIVA Centre for Advanced Research & Development |
Challenges:
| To maintain the interest of the student in the subject of BIOCHEMISTRY which seems to be fading out due to lack of awareness of subject & introduction of applied subjects. |
Future plan:
| Getting better infrastructure facilities. |
| Academic improvement of the staff. |
| Providing state of art research facilities. |
