STAR COLLEGE SCHEME

“Star College Scheme” has been initiated by the Department of Biotechnology (DBT),New

Delhi, to support colleges to improve science teaching and strengthen Life Sciences and

Biotechnology education at undergraduate level. The programme aims to improve the skills of

teachers by organising faculty training, improved curriculum and emphasis on practical training to

students by providing access to specialised infrastructure and laboratory equipments.

Five Science Departments of Justice Basheer Ahmed Sayeed College For

Women(Autonomous),Chennai, namely Physics, Chemistry, Plant Biology & Plant Biotechnology,

Zoology and Biochemistry have received the Star college grants in the year 2015.
