PREAMBLE

The Foundation for Life Sciences and Business Management was established in 2003-04 with the aim of working in areas of higher education and research, and helping set up entrepreneurial ventures in biotechnology and related fields.

Prof PK Khosla, an internationally renowned academician and scientist, conceived the idea of integrating higher education and research during a visit to United Kingdom in 2003. He joined hands with renowned NRI, Mr Ramesh Mehan and Mr Satish Anand, a local businessman with vast experience in local infrastructure development, for this venture.

The executive members of the Foundation are academicians and professionals with distinguished backgrounds. Prof P.K. Khosla, Ex-Vice Chancellor, HPAU, Palampur and former Advisor, Biotechnology, H.P.Government is at the helm of the management and functioning of the Foundation.

The Foundation, with the support of visionary educationists, scientists, administrators who are on either its Executive and Advisory Boards or a part of the faculty, has very successfully set up the Shoolini Institute of Life Sciences and Business Management (SILB). The institute is affiliated to Himachal Pradesh University, Shimla and in the last six years, has attained several distinctions. It is one of the most sought after institutes for

higher education in biotechnology, microbiology, basic sciences (botany and chemistry), management and pharmaceutical sciences. The institute is duly recognized by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, GOI, New Delhi as a research institute; and was graded at 8th rank amongst private biotech institutes of the country (Biospectrum Survey - 2008). Its students have earned top positions in biotechnology, microbiology and botany during 2007-08 and 2008-09. In M.Sc.. Botany and Microbiology its students occupied six to seven positions among the top ten ranks of the University.

With the vision of building a world-class university which combines academic & teaching pursuits with a research driven model - the Foundation put forward a proposal for setting up of a University of Biotechnology and Management Sciences to HP Government in 2005. The Shoolini University of Biotechnology and Management Sciences came into existence in September, 2009 under the auspices of the Foundation for Life Sciences and Business Management.

The Foundation envisages significant investments to develop well equipped state of the art labs as well as to recruit and retain the best faculty through a challenging work environment, competitive

emoluments, and access to global information sources. Faculty members are expected to drive research through research grants from national and international donors. The research facilities will also serve as an incubator for the HP Biotechnology and Nanotechnology Parks being set up nearby.

The Foundation is committed to UGC regulations (2003) for Private Universities and will also follow the guidelines of different regulatory bodies (AICTE, PCI, ICMR, ICAR, CSIR, etc.). Partnerships with industry, academia and the Government shall be the special focus of the University. These linkages will help in customizing education to the needs of the industry, leveraging the best available teaching resources, and participating in the quest for a better quality of life for the people in the region.

Lastly, we believe that Himachal Pradesh is at the cross roads of capturing India's Biotech revolution - and that Shoolini University can play a significant role in helping achieve this objective. Developing Shoolini University into one of the best global universities is the prime mission of the Foundation.

Prof Prem Kumar KhoslaFounder & Vice Chancellor

Dear Students and Parents,

Path breaking discoveries and inventions

in physics and engineering in the

twentieth century changed the way we

live. The twenty first century will have

similar changes -though this time these

will be driven by innovation in biology

and management sciences. It is no

surprise that a career in these disciplines

is now emerging as a preferred option -

at par with , or even more preferred than

medicine or engineering.

However, considering the rapid pace of

innovation in these areas, a high degree

of specialized knowledge is important

to build a winning career .To make an

impact in these fields, the latest

learning and specialized domain

expertise is the single most critical factor

of success.

Our vision behind Shoolini University of

Biotechnology and Management

Sciences is to provide students with an

opportunity to learn from and interact

with top-most experts in their field of

expertise. We also endeavor to develop

Shoolini University into an internationally

recognized centre of research and

education. The university's model is to

blend expertise in biosciences with the

principles and practices of engineering

and business management to create

exceptionally skilled human resource for

future leadership positions in academia

and industry. I say with pride that some

of India's and the world's most

renowned academicians, scientists and

business managers are already

collaborating with us to make this vision

a reality.

To achieve these goals, we are

proactively building faculty,

infrastructure and developing an

atmosphere where our students acquire

cutting edge skills and domain

knowledge. We also seek to give our

students the appropriate environment to

build on their creative and social

aspirations.

I am confident that with the support of

senior faculty and our esteemed panel of

advisors, this institution of higher

learning shall become a prestigious part

of the educational hub that Himachal's

Hon'ble Chief Minister, Prof Prem Kumar

Dhumal, has envisaged.

Shoolini University's distinctiveness

emanates from committed governance

and support from the foundation, strong

alliances and linkages with industry and

academia, high caliber faculty, brilliant

students and state-of-the-art

infrastructure.

Shoolini University has adopted high

standards of education, which have

received recognition and appreciation

from various bodies. It is now recognised

by the University Grants Commission

(UGC), approved by Pharmacy Council of

India (PCI), and rated 4th amongst top

ten Private Biotech Institutes in the

country in a recent survey conducted by

BioSpectrum, a prestigious and

exclusive national magazine on

biotechnology.

It is my pleasure to invite you to be a part

of Shoolini University and help build an

institution all of us are proud to be

associated with.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me

for any questions or queries. I look

forward hearing from you.

From The Founder & Vice Chancellor's Desk

An internationally renowned academician, with post-doctorate in genetics from Oxford University, UK, Prof Khosla has added new dimensions to higher education and research in Indian Universities. He has served as Vice-Chancellor, HPAU, Palampur (HP) and as Senior Advisor to the Government of Himachal Pradesh and has been responsible for guiding its biotechnology policy.

Ramesh K MehanChancellor

I am a sincere believer of the philosophy

- that knowledge alone can liberate and

elevate mankind. Knowledge is the

ultimate power that helps us to shake the

shackles of ignorance and be free.

As India makes strides of progress in this

globally competitive environment, it is

the quality of education that we will

provide to the young generation of today

that will give us the edge to keep ahead

in all spheres.

I also strongly believe that the focus of

global development and research in the

coming years will be the life sciences.

Innovative ways of applying basic,

engineering, management and computer

sciences to this purpose should

therefore be the thrust of higher

education today as it will directly

influence the preparedness of today's

India for a better tomorrow.

Many years ago an artist and a

philosopher named Nicholas Roerich

made the Himalayas his home. His

creations were a direct result of the

inspiration that these mountains

provided him. Almost a century ago he

wrote in an article- "...only in Himalayas,

exist the unique, unprecedented, calm

conditions for achieving results." In my

capacity as the first Chancellor of the

Shoolini University, I express my gratitude

to the Government and the people of

Himachal Pradesh for giving us the

opportunity to set up this life sciences

and management sciences' university in

the picturesque and inspirational

settings of this beautiful state.

R K Mehan

Here (in this world), there is nothing as pure (sublime) as knowledge.

At Shoolini University, we aspire to

translate our vision of providing world

class education in biotechnology and

management sciences and facilitating

research and innovation in these areas.

I invite you to be a stakeholder in this

dream- as a student, a faculty member or

just as a citizen of a progressive and

forward thinking society- and

turn it into reality.

The medium of teaching at Shoolini University is English, and the students are required to have minimum proficiency in English language for them to be more intuitive and effective in the class. Greater fluency in English will also enable the students to bag good jobs in thecorporate sector.

Keeping in view the poor standard of English of students, especially with rural/ semi urban background, Shoolini University has initiated a range of English language programmes that will build upon their current skills and help them to meet their personal and professional goals.

The University has tied up with British Council for honing the communication skills of the students. The English language programmes offer an inspiring learning environment for the students to explore and take part in activities that complement the development of their English skills. Through classroom instruction and opportunities to engage outside of the classroom with other students at the university, you will build your skills and become more comfortable with the language.

Academic English courses provide intensive language teaching from beginner to advanced levels along with the development of academic skills for grasping the subject matter at the undergraduate or graduate level courses.

Academic English

General English is a flexible, intensive language programme for beginner through advanced levels that is augmented with a wide range of optional modules, as well as social and cultural activities.

The degree is awarded under course credit system. Each course has a well defined syllabus with specified number of credithours for theory and practical classes. The research component also forms a part of the curriculum for postgraduate studies.

The credit hours are regulated as follows:1. One credit hour of theory is one hour of class room teaching.2. One credit hour of practical, in case of undergraduates, is two hours' of teaching in the laboratory/workshop3. One credit hour of practical, in case of postgraduates, is three hours' of teaching in the laboratory/workshop

Examination• Undergraduate programme: The system of examination is partly internal and partly external. Besides, each student has to appear /

submit assignment, presentation, quiz, short test etc.• Postgraduate Programme: Examination system is internal.

EvaluationA student is evaluated in a course for both theory and practical, following Overall Credit Point Average (OCPA) system:1. An undergraduate student is evaluated through continuous internal assessment and external semester end examination. He or she has to

pass in both internal assessment and external examination (separately in theory and practicals).2. Postgraduate students have to pass in theory and practical examinations separately.3. A student is declared pass only if he or she secures the following minimum Grade Points in each subject and OCPA on a scale of 10:

a) Undergraduate Examinations: 5.0 grade points in each subject and 5.5 in OCPAb) Postgraduate Examinations: 6.0 grade points in each subject and 6.5 in OCPA
