About the Institute

Bioinformatics Institute of India, BII has been setup as a premiere
institution for the promotion, growth and prosperity of
Bioinformatics, Biotechnology and the related sciences. Today it is
recognized across the globe as a premier institution offering programs
and trainings in the emerging domains of Pharma, Bioinformatics,
Clinical trials etc. The institute aims not only educational and
research initiative in this direction but also vouch for creating a
talent pool of professionals from various fields who can contribute
for the growth and prosperity of Bioinformatics / Biotechnology /
Cheminformatics / Biomedical informatics as a career

Program Details

Bioinformatics is not limited to its application in biological
sciences but is also knocking the doors of other domains of science.
The individual who wants to develop a career in bioinformatics cannot
limit to distance learning but for better economic pursuits he has to
have the practical industry oriented knowledge of subject. With this
mission and vision BII has launched the Dual program in
Bioinformatics. The dual Program in Bioinformatics offered by BII is a
combination of two programs:

Need for the Dual Program

The need for the dual program has been felt with the growing
Bioinformatics and Cheminformatics segment in India. There is a huge
demand of skilled Bioinformatics and cheminformatics Professionals in
the industry. The proposed program has been thus designed to provide
participants with the in-depth knowledge of the subject thus making
him a skilled Bioinformatician / Cheminformatician. The student
benefit by getting a Certificate by BII in Advance Program in
Bioinformatics thereby saving 6 months.
Program Duration

The Program Duration is one year
Program Eligibility

The eligibilty for the training program is graduation in any
discipline.Highly interested participants in final year can also
apply.
Attendance

A minimum of 75% attendance is compulsory, failing which the students
will be debarred from appearing in any examination and he/she will
have to repeat the term.
Discipline

Students are expected to follow the code of discipline failing which
action, as considered necessary, including rustication may be taken at
the discretion of the Director. These rules are displayed on the
notice board
Evaluation



At the end of the duration of a program, participants will through a
well defined evaluation process for both Advance Program in
Bioinformatics and PG Diploma in Bioinformatics.
Career Prospects in Bioinformatics:

Bioinformatics is the new global wave. Companies and Governments in
the business of developing drugs, agriculture, chemicals, hybrid
plants, plastics, petroleum derivatives, Information technology among
others are developing Bioinformatics divisions and looking to it to
provide new avenues and research output to help replace scarce natural
resources. India, being a forerunner among the countries having the
knowledge edge, is expected to play a leading role in the
Bioinformatics revolution. Bioinformatics Institute of India aims at
being the frontrunner and pioneer in the Indian Bioinformatics
initiative. India has expert software professionals and qualified and
experienced Biologists/ Biotechnologists but lacks a combination which
is now known as Bioinformatics Professional. Prospective employers
include Pharmaceutical companies in India/ abroad, R&D organization,
Academic Institutions, Government Organizations, Software Companies &
Product Marketing Companies. There are great opportunities to work as
Scientists, Researchers, Software Developers, Database Developers,
Consultants, Trainers and Academicians.
Career Prospects in Cheminformatics

The rising tide of data being generated by high-throughput approaches
to drug screening is slowly bringing about a chemical revolution.
Cheminformatics thus is becoming a big business. Those indicators are
growing stronger for cheminformatics — also called cheminformatics or
chemical informatics. Just as the genomics boom created a need for
bioinformaticians, an explosion in the amount of data generated by
combinatorial chemistry and other high-throughput approaches to drug
screening and drug design is creating a demand for
chemoinformaticians. Cheminformatics experts are in great demand. The
demand for cheminformatics expertise has come primarily from the
pharmaceutical industry. But chemistry – database creation and
searching, and high – throughput technologies, have become
increasingly important to the chemistry industry as well. Their jobs
can range from the management of a database of structures and
biological data, to work involving combinatorial chemistry.
Fee Structure

Total Course Fee Rs. 40,000 (Installment facility available).
Program Completion

After the successful completion of the program the candidate will
obtain

1.) PG Diploma in Bioinformatics/Cheminformatics (Jamia Hamdard
University)

2.) Advanced Program in Bioinformatics (BII).
Admission Procedure
