CU Punjab M.Sc Bioinformatics: Fees 2025, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

The MSc Bioinformatics program has a low faculty-to-student ratio, with only 3-4 core subject teachers. Despite this, the teaching quality is commendable, led by a capable Head of Department and supported by experienced faculty, including a postdoctoral scholar with international experience and a helpful PhD scholar from Syria. Student-teacher interactions are positive, although the limited number of professors is a concern. The program is financially accessible, with a semester fee of about 15,000 INR and a hostel fee of approximately 8,000 INR, catering to middle-class families. Scholarships are available based on category and merit, with SC/ST students benefiting from a reduced hostel fee of 1,800 INR per semester. Financial aid options are also provided for OBC/EWS students. Students may apply for external scholarships like NSP and Inspire, based on their academic performance. Employment opportunities on campus vary, but the 'earn while you learn' scheme supports students in balancing work and study.
