Strengths:
Experienced Teaching faculty, though number-wise inadequate.
Reputation of the department since 1993
Well-equipped laboratories; Extramural funding for research activities.
Curriculum that covers the syllabus of national level examinations and suits
the corporate-industry requirements.
Alumni network.
Weaknesses:
Inadequate Teaching faculty owing to this, we are not able to tap the funding available through UGC-SAP, Non-SAP,DST-FIST and DBT-Builder schemes.
Inadequate space and non-availability of independent buildings for
department
Difficulty in attracting foreign and cosmopolitan and urban students.
Campus placement is difficult as companies are satisfied with harvesting in
urban areas.
Students with inadequate communication skills.
Opportunities:
NET/SLET qualified candidates are appointed as permanent faculty members in either Government Degree Colleges through Karnataka Public Service Commission recruitment or in the Universities through Board of Appointment.
Jobs in the Private Academic institutions.
Corporate sector/Industries job opportunities. Our alumni support for this.
Research opportunities within the University, other Universities in the state or outside state and Universities in abroad with fellowship.
Competitive examinations at state level or national level through public service commission/banking sector/Staff selection commission, etc.
Challenges:
Imparting training on communication skills to the students so as to enable them to be suitable for the requirements of corporate world.
Overcoming the space problem, improving the permanent faculty strength
NAAC 1st Cycle Accreditation- Evaluative Report, Davangere University
Page 75
Securing the research grants for the Department through UGC-SAP, Non-
SAP, DST-FIST and DBT-Builder schemes.
Placements for students through campus recruitment.
Bringing National level/International level recognition through
interdisciplinary-academic activities and research collaborations with reputed scientific organizations/institutions.
52. Future plans of the department.
The Department would strive hard to become one of the best Biochemistry
Departments in the State and as well as in the Country.
The Department should be equipped with state-of the Art facilities for carrying out
research pertaining to frontiers areas of Biochemistry to address the issues
pertaining to life-style borne diseases in humans, and also to understand and
address the issues pertaining to stress-tolerance in plants..
The Department should have a Bioinformatics laboratory with all the hardware
and software facilities for doctoral research and to train the post-graduates.
