During the current placement drive, over 10 biotech companies recruited the students for various functions like production, quality assurance, regulatory affairs, research and development and marketing. A talented pool of 60 aspiring biotechnologists (from Batches 3 & 4) received their certificates from Dr Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Chief Mentor, Biocon Academy during the recently held graduation ceremony at Biocon Park, Bangalore.

The professional success of these students will inspire many other young biotechnologists to pursue their passion for science. It is encouraging to see the impact made by the academy in such a short period. We are now developing new programmes which will further enhance biotech learning and prepare them to seek opportunities to excel in the biotech world.”
