 Department of Biotechnology Since its inception in 2002, the Department of Biotechnology is committed to establish and operate efficient and effective programs with thrust on quality education, infrastructure and be an agent of change itself. The department has benefited from an open-ended budget policy resulting in the provision of state-of-the-art research facilities.

The courses are structured to impart competencies necessary for employment by aligning industry- required entry-level skills and program learning outcomes. The goal is to prepare scientific and technical human resource to meet the market potential and global demand of the skilled manpower in the biotechnology sector, as set out in the National Biotechnology Strategy. The departmental programmes produce graduates whose skills make them marketable and “job-ready” for today’s workforce. Among the B. Tech. and M. Tech. batches that passed out in previous years, several students got placement in industries/R & D organizations or are abroad carrying out research in various areas of biotechnology. The JIIT Biotechnology Department is ranked overall #1 (ranking parameters including faculty, infrastructure, industry interaction and placements), among private institutions offering Biotech courses in India (Source: Biospectrum, Jan 2007 Volume 5, Issue 1).

Research programme in the form of doctoral studies ensures that students are in close contact with applied scientific knowledge. In the past year, the research efforts have expanded to include sponsored research. The university encourages research by according generous assistantships for dual degree and doctoral studies. The faculty and students work side by side, are encouraged and given full support to participate in various national and international fora. Extension activities can be seen in the various means of disseminating the experiences and research outputs of staff and students. The expertise available is extended to personnel in and outside the institute. For example, workshops for training in bioinformatics software tools are annually held on campus wherein industry experts also participate. The research findings and project outcomes of the staff and students find a place in various standard publications in the form of books, reports, and articles in journals. A biotechnology society (RIBOSE) and a newsletter is in the offing to keep the members of the University abreast with departmental activities and achievements. In the doctoral program offered by the department, the research activities focus mainly on microbial and plant biotechnologies. Different aspects of the program relate to study of molecular mechanisms of evolution of Drosophila malerkotliana, investigation of Chandipura virus causing encephalitis and identification of possible mechanisms for designing effective drugs against it, bioremediation of polluted sites using microbial consortia, characterization of novel microbial isolates for enzymes of industrial importance, bioprospection for potential phytotherapeutics, computational analyses of horizontal gene transfer and modeling analysis of natural sweeteners.

 Laboratory and facilities: The Biotechnology laboratory has 7721 sq.ft. working area with Biochemistry, Microbiology, Immunology, Animal Tissue Culture, Plant Tissue Culture, Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics facilities in built. Approximately, 40 to 50 sq.ft. work space per student is maintained to enable hassle free ambience. The core areas of biotechnology are integrated with bioinformatics to enhance the soft skill proficiency required for the research and development. The department has open-ended budget for the acquisition of laboratory equipments, chemicals, glass/plastic ware and other consumables.

15 The design of the laboratory is in compliance with the biosafety norms with complete Air Handling Unit system (AHU), LPG pipeline and automatic fire safety equipment that alerts and handles unexpected electrical and fire accidents. The lab is equipped with basic facilities like reverse osmosis water purification system, sterilization facilities, clean air laminar hoods, incubators, shakers, centrifuges, deep freezers and cold room apart from the specialized facilities. There is a full fledged plant tissue culture laboratory with automatic humidity and temperature control with required sterilizing equipments and incubation facility. The animal tissue culture laboratory is connected with automatic CO2 controlling system that supplies uninterrupted CO2 to the incubator. In addition, the inverted phase contrast microscope is equipped with tissue manipulator for different animal cell/tissue culture experiments.

The Microbiology laboratory has three laminar air flow hoods, two BOD incubators and three shakers along with other miscellaneous instruments required for routine use. A common instrumentation facility includes equipments like fermentor, gel documentation system, HPLC, Column Chromatography, UV-Vis spectrophotometers, Electronic balances, environmental shaker, Thermo cycler and high speed refrigerated centrifuge. A separate research laboratory accommodates Ph.D. and postgraduate students for their project and research activities. An exclusive laboratory exists for the study of population genetics and genomics in the model organism Drosophila. An institutional Bio safety Committee ensures that the research projects being undertaken conform to DBT Bio safety norms.

The bioinformatics training and practical sessions are conducted in multimedia computer labs through different open source software’s and online tools. Apart from these open source tools, the department has 10 user license of Hyperchem 7.5 Molecular Modeling program that allows the analysis and visualization of simple or complex molecules, which is equipped with several computational methods for calculating molecular geometry optimization, total energy, and bond angles and distances. It employs an intuitive point-and-click interface that allows for the easy assembly and calculation of molecule structures. We have added new software in our repository of Bioinformatics tools: Gaussain and Schrödinger. We have 1 license for Gaussian and 25 tokens for Schrödinger. Gaussian is software for modeling of systems in solution, geometry optimization, and excitation studies. It employs self-consistent field calculations using closed-shell (RHF), unrestricted open-shell (UHF), and restricted open-shell (ROHF) Hartree-Fock wave functions and through density functional theory calculations. Schrödinger provides a complete solution to computer aided drug designing. It provides accurate, reliable, and high performance computational technology incorporating modules for in silico protein preparation, protein modeling, ligand docking, active site prediction and identification of lead molecules.

In the doctoral program offered by the department, the research activities focus mainly on microbial and plant biotechnologies. Different aspects of the program relate to study of molecular mechanisms of evolution of Drosophila malerkotliana, investigation of Chandipura virus causing encephalitis and identification of possible mechanisms for designing effective drugs against it, bioremediation of polluted sites using microbial consortia, characterization of novel microbial isolates for enzymes of industrial importance, bioprospection for potential phytotherapeutics, computational analyses of horizontal gene transfer and modeling analysis of natural sweeteners.

JAYPEE BUSINESS SCHOOL

Jaypee Business School is the latest symbol of the vision of the Founder Chancellor Hon’ble Shri Jaiprakash Gaur ji. The Jaypee Group has been working to promote ‘Excellence in the field of IT & related emerging areas of education, training and research comparable to the best in the world for producing professionals who shall be leaders in innovation, entrepreneurship, creativity and management’.

JBS envisions to “earn recognition as a world class shaper of service and relationship professionals in South Asia” is the vision of Jaypee Business School. The mission is 'To prepare and produce competent, passionate and market centric professionals and managers of human emotions, business operations and global quality'

Jaypee Business School is different from most business schools in several significant ways. The tag-line ‘We Are Different’ is reflected in the Four distinctive V’s of Jaypee Business School: They are Vision, Value, Vector and Vitality.

 Vision Jaypee Business School has chosen to focus on the ‘Niche and Sunrise Sectors of India’ that require specially trained executives for better service and relationships. Our MBA programs are sector specific and more industry suited than any generic MBA for greater success.

 Value Jaypee Business School benefits our technically qualified students in order to become more competent and ready for the destined professions. JBS graduates are equally trained in technical and interpersonal interactions - the twin expectations of employers today.

 Vector

23 Jaypee Business School vectors (directs) its resources towards creating a SMART MBA program with triple specializations. The first is a core specialization in service and relationship centricity, the second is functional specialization in any management function (Finance, Marketing, HRM, Consulting and Operations etc.). The third and final specialization in any industry verticals such as Financial services, Retailing, Skilled Manufacturing, Healthcare and Infrastructure services.

 Vitality Finally, JBS aims to bring a new vitality to all the three campuses of ours at Noida, Guna and Waknaghat with activities, cultural change and plans for the academic, social and leadership development of our students, faculty and larger community. Our 'Netratava' (Leadership Forum) and a mandatory course on Leadership Communication program are examples of our vitality.

 Centers of Excellence

JBS has setup three centers of excellence viz. Center for Learning Excellence, Center for Industry Interface and Center for Service Innovation. Each Center aims to ‘Pursue, Publish, Practice and Promote Excellence in the Select Verticals of Service and Relationship Management’.

 Centre for Learning Excellence (CLE)

World wide, the undergraduate education in professional programs is the focus of increased attention. In order to promote a higher order of learning environment, several universities offering undergraduate engineering education like Stanford University, Georgia Tech University, Utah State University and University of Delaware have established training centers for more effective class room learning.

JBS recognizes this as an important challenge and has responded by organizing several annual and occasional short duration faculty development programs. For instance, the annual Faculty Development Program in 2005 involved all 150 faculty members of JIIT, JUIT and JIET who learnt the concepts of CARE Learning (Customized, Active, Research centric and Experimental learning). Similarly, the annual Faculty Development Program in 2006 discussed the profiles and activities of ACE Learning facilitators (Active, Committed and Excellent Teachers).

The Center for Learning Excellence now seeks to build upon its experience further and offer its expertise to fellow institutions that are offering undergrad teaching. The Center promotes cutting edge undergraduate teaching in professional courses in India. Towards this, the Center held an international faculty development workshop in March 2007. The theme is ‘Transforming Undergraduate Technical Education through the Pedagogies of Engagement’.

 Centre for Industry Interface (CII)

JBS operates in a dynamic interface with industry and seeks to envision the future together. Each of us is required to deliver the best results to our stakeholders. Respecting the importance of this interface, JBS stands invested in the formation of ‘Center for Corporate Interface (CII)’. The CII activities include the following:

 Invite practicing managers to mentor JBS students  Industrial interface, visits and Internships  Short term training workshops, seminars and training programs for managerial staff and executives including from the government and non-government sectors  Research and business consulting

24  Group discussions, seminars, workshops and conferences  Guest lectures and talks  Case research and documentation  Any other interface activity

 Center for Service Innovation (CSI)

This Centre seeks to ‘create, crystallize, multiply and handhold the spirit of Service innovation in India ’. The mission is to support service innovators and entrepreneurs of India and build a resource network. The Centre is collaborating with entrepreneurs and forums like TiE (The Indus Entrepreneurs). The activities of the Centre include the following

. Networking . Mentorship . Courses, workshops and seminars for service entrepreneurs . Business Plan Competitions . Service Success Story Session (Interaction with successful entrepreneurs)  Global Partnership & Linkages

In line with the vision of the Group, JBS has opened discussions with several leading business schools and universities in India and overseas. The School seeks to ally with the Association for Service Management International (AFSMI) - the only global organization dedicated to advance the knowledge, understanding, and career development of professionals in the high technology services and support ‘e-business (www.afsmi.org). The School will explore association with the Center for Service Leadership at Arizona State University, USA.

JBS also believes in the power of academic networking around the globe and is in discussion with several universities for exchange and other collaborations for our students and faculty. Student exchange programs exist with select Schools globally. The MBA program provides students with the unique opportunity to study one semester at one of these select B-Schools outside India. These universities include the following:

. University of Massachusetts at Boston, USA . National Yunlin University of Science and Technology, Taiwan . Chaoyang University of Technology, Taiwan . Lunghwa University of Science and Technology, Taiwan . Cheng Shiu University, Taiwan . Chienkuo Technology University, Taiwan . University of Nebraska at Omaha, USA
