Preamble

Pimpri Chinchwad University offers Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Clinical Microbiology. This course is an undergraduate program that aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding diverse world of microorganisms and its impact on Human lives. The syllabus for Clinical Microbiology at undergraduate level is designed using the Choice Based Credit system has been framed in compliance with model syllabus given by UGC. The main objective of framing this new syllabus is to give the students a complete understanding of the subject giving significant weightage to both the core content and practices used in Clinical Microbiology.

The ultimate goal of the syllabus is that the students at the end are able to secure a high ending job. Keeping in mind with the changing nature of the subject, passable emphasis has been given on new practices of mapping and understanding of the subject. The syllabus has also been outlined in such a way that the basic skills of subject are taught to the students, increasing chance of students to secure a job

It is essential that Clinical Microbiology students select their general electives courses Chemistry as compulsory and any one from the branch of Life Sciences disciplines. While the syllabus is in compliance with UGC model curriculum, it is necessary that Clinical Microbiology students should learn “Bioinformatics, Microbes in Sustainable Agriculture and Development & Instrumentation and Biotechniques” as one of the core courses rather than as elective while. Course on “Concept of Genetics” has been moved to electives. Also, it is recommended that the Project Work and Industrial Tour is compulsory for all the students as per their respective semester curriculum.


Vision and Mission

To be a leading program in clinical microbiology that produces competent and considerate professionals who contribute to the betterment of society.
Our mission is to provide students with a rigorous education in the scientific study in Allied Health Sciences.
Organizations always evoke institutional goals to define the kind of trained manpower (or professional) they intend to produce. The undergraduate student coming out of this program from PCU should
Be competent in recognizing techniques of common health problems of the individual and the community, associated with or concerned with his/her position as a member of the health team at the Primary, Secondary or tertiary level, using his/her clinical/technical skills based on history, physical examination and relevant investigation techniques and as per the advice of the attending physician
