IBAB is an initiative of the Department of IT, BT and SsT of the Government of Karnataka

The institute offers an MSc in 'Bioinformatics and Biotechnology'.  The course will provide competence in both biotechnology and computational biology/bioinformatics by providing training in the areas of cell and molecular biology, computer science, statistics, bioinformatics and so on (syllabus available below).

IBAB has been running a Postgraduate Diploma in Bioinformatics since 2002, and the 11th batch is currently doing its coursework.  It has also been running a Postgraduate Diploma in Laboratory Biotechniques since 2004, and the 8th batch has completed its coursework. The two popular programmes are now being discontinued to enable the faculty to focus on the MSc programme.

Every student is provided access to a fully loaded high-end PC and extensive access to the internet for the entire duration of 2 years. Lectures are delivered by in-house faculty, distinguished academics and industry scientists from leading institutions/companies within the country or from abroad. A significant amount of time is devoted to learning through material available on-line, journals, seminars, tutorials, group discussions etc. Thus the extensive lecture/tutorial program is supplemented by an enabling environment and associated self-learning through assignments and project work.

The 2 year MSc course is structured into 4 semesters, as below.
