India's skill and capabilities in biotech is well recognized. But the rapid growth of the industry will ultimately depend on availability of quality manpower and good educational institutions in country. In last one decade, a large number biotech institutes were set up. However, not much has been done for benchmarking of these institutes for their own relative assessment, for industry and for aspiring students. The mandate of Gunamay Institute of Science & Technology (G MIST) is to provide competence in diverse fields of biotechnology including computational biology, bioinformatics, cheminformatics, computer aided drug design, nanobiotechnology, plant biotechnology & seed engineering and other cutting edge job oriented areas.

Lectures will be delivered by in-house faculty, distinguished academics across the globe and scientists from leading corporate bodies. A very large amount of time is devoted to learning through material available on line, journals, seminar/tutorials, group discussions etc. Thus the extensive lecture/tutorial program is supplemented by an enabling environment and associated self-learning through assignments and project work.

Different courses and curricula are structured into a semester system that cater to needs of building up scientific and technological manpower required for the fast-paced Indian biotechnological innovation-landscape. G MIST will also conduct postgraduate diplomas and certificate courses that will empower existing workforce or students who are eager to join the industry at an earliest opportunity. Students work in close collaboration with research-active scientists on problems of real significance, making use of the considerable research expertise and facilities available on campus.The courses are designed to overcome the challenges to be confronted by Biotech industry in the years to come :
