MESSAGE TO PROSPECTIVE M.SC. MICROBIOLOGY STUDENTS
Kantipur
College of Medical Science (KCMS), established in 2004 has started B.Sc. and M.
Sc. in Microbiology program since 2005 and 2007 respectively under the
affiliation of Tribhuvan University. Till date, KCMS has been running eighth
batch of M.Sc. Microbiology with specialization in Medical Microbiology for the
first sixth batches. As soon as Tribhuvan University launched the Semester
system for M.Sc., the college has facilitated with both Medical and Food
Microbiology since the seventh batch. In addition, the college has also
launched diploma in pharmacy (D-Pharmacy) and laboratory technology program
(CMLT-Certificate in Medical Laboratory Technology) under the affiliation of
Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT). The main objective
of the college is to generate qualified and skilled manpower and academics to
fulfill the requirements of the nation. Till date, more than 140 M. Sc.
graduates have been awarded. Each year, 30 new students are enrolled in the
semester system of M.Sc. Microbiology Program (15 seats for Medical and 15
seats for Food Microbiology). The department of microbiology of KCMS has been
lead by the competent professor, four full time faculty members and other
visiting professors and faculties from national and international universities.
With
a view to standardize the syllabus with international universities and to
upgrade the level of M. Sc. graduates, Microbiology subject committee has
revised the curriculum of M. Sc. Microbiology. The new curriculum emphasizes
the research based teaching and learning practice. Besides this, the curriculum
also encourages students to actively engage in research activities. All the
students in M. Sc. Microbiology are mandatory to carry out a hundred marks
dissertation work in partial fulfillment of the degree under the supervision of
the respective faculty members. Likewise,
the students have to do project work in each semester. The Grading system is
based on their performance in regular classes, presentation and seminar, attendance
and assignments.
On
this background, it is our endeavor to educate the students by motivating and
encouraging them by imparting wide knowledge in theoretical and practical
aspects in various fields of Microbiology, in one hand. On the other, it is our
concept to make students innovative and inventive to hone their knowledge and
skills to establish themselves and serve in wide area such as health, food and
industries, environment etc. to cater the need of national upliftment as well
as in widening the horizon of Microbiology. KCMS is a huge platform for
Microbiology students to learn by research activities. Moreover, we have
collaborated many hospitals in Kathmandu valley as well as outside the valley
for internship and dissertation work. We are highly facilitated with Molecular
biology lab, Research Laboratory for Biotechnology and Biochemistry (RLABB) in
our ground, which has been working on different filed of Molecular Biology
since 1981. The main objective of KCMS is therefore to acquaint the students
for research and research based knowledge which will be applicable throughout
their academic life. We are also
committed to develop analytical skill among the enrolled students. That is the
reason behind choosing KCMS for carrier development.
KCMS
is enrolling 9th Batch in M.Sc. Microbiology with specialization in
Food and Medical.
Thanking
