Summer Training is an 80-hour, short-term program built around the same industry technologies as our full training track, compressed into a faster format — six standalone courses covering molecular genetics through forensic science, so students can build hands-on skill in whichever area fits their summer break and career direction.
Courses Available
Course I: Molecular Genetics Techniques
Hands-on training in nucleic acid extraction, quantification, cDNA synthesis, PCR, Real-Time PCR analysis, and gel documentation — built to fast-track a career in life sciences, healthcare, or food research.
Course II: Cell Biology & Drug Discovery
Practical techniques for cell-based drug screening, including tracking cell growth, running flow cytometry analysis, and observing cellular behaviour using inverted and fluorescence microscopy.
Course III: Vaccine Research & Protein Biology
Industry-ready downstream processing skills: protein extraction, precise quantification, and automated FPLC purification systems.
Course IV: Immunology & Immunotechniques
Antibody purification, ELISA, and sophisticated diagnostic immunotechniques, connecting theory directly to laboratory practice.
Course V: Analytical Techniques & Chromatography
Intensive, hands-on experience in quantitative spectrophotometry, advanced HPLC, and gas chromatography (GC) techniques.
Course VI: Forensic Science & Technology
The science of investigation — hands-on training in forensic workflows from crime scene evidence collection and fingerprint profiling through to advanced laboratory analysis.
Why a Short-Term Format Works
Not every student has 300 hours to spare, and not every career direction needs all five disciplines at once. The short-term format lets a student pick the single course most relevant to where they're headed — genomics, cell biology, protein biology, immunology, analytical chemistry, or forensics — and get genuinely hands-on in that one area over a school break.
What Employers Look For
Exposure to industry-grade equipment and standardized protocols is exactly what separates a resume with lab theory from one with demonstrable, job-ready technique. A student who's actually run PCR, operated a flow cytometer, or purified a protein by FPLC has a materially stronger application than one who's only read about it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Summer Training improve job readiness?
Exposure to industry-grade equipment and standardized protocols gives students demonstrable, hands-on technique — a materially stronger application than lab theory alone, which is exactly what employers in biotech and pharma look for.
Which courses are available?
Six standalone courses: Molecular Genetics Techniques, Cell Biology & Drug Discovery, Vaccine Research & Protein Biology, Immunology & Immunotechniques, Analytical Techniques & Chromatography, and Forensic Science & Technology.
Can I take more than one course?
Yes. Each course runs independently at 80 hours per course, so students can take one during a single break or return for additional courses across different sessions.
How long is each course and what does it cost?
Each course runs 80 hours, up to 45 days, for INR 12,000 for Indian nationals or $200 for foreign nationals, per course.
