24 Candidates will be admitted into the Advanced Course in Bioinformatics out of which
6 seats are reserved for industry sponsored candidates. Candidates will be admitted only after qualifying the Common Entrance Test (CET). This CET is based on Computer Fundamentals, Biology Concepts and General Aptitude.
On the basis of performance in the CET, the candidates shall be short listed in the order of merit. Industry sponsored candidates should also appear for the CET.
Separate merit list will be maintained for Sponsored candidates .
