Introduction
BTFS Concept
KARNATAKA BIOTECHNOLOGY APTITUDE TEST (KBAT) for admission of students to Biotechnology Finishing Schools (BTFS) for post graduate diploma. The fast growing biotechnology sector in Karnataka has been facing severe shortage of industry-ready graduates and post-graduates for a long time. In an effort to fulfill the needs of the industry, the Karnataka government in association with the Vision Group, ABLE and Industry representatives has developed a mechanism to provide employment opportunities in the sector. In the Millennium Biotech Policy-II, the Government of Karnataka initiated establishment of finishing school program across the state. Twelve BTFS host institutions have been established in Karnataka with appropriate course content and duration to equip graduates and post-graduates with necessary employable skills and to make them industry ready. All 12 BTFS institutions will be commencing their courses from October 2015. Applications are invited from interested students across India for admission into post-graduate diploma in specialized areas of biotechnology for the academic session 2015-16. Admissions will be through an online entrance test followed by an interview. The overall progress of BTFS program is frequently monitored by the BTFS-Monitoring committee (BTFS-MC) comprising of leading scientists from academia & industry. Likewise the day to day progress of the BTFS program is observed by the BTFS steering committee (BTFS-SC).
Role of Government of Karnataka
The Government of Karnataka (GOK) strongly believes that the Information Technology and Biotechnology holds promise of boosting economy leading to qualitative improvement in the lives of people, at large. Karnataka Biotechnology and Information Technology Services (KBITS) a registered society under the Department of Information Technology, Biotechnology and Science & Technology is facilitating and promoting the IT and BT sectors in the state by organizing as well as participating in Trade shows, Conferences, Symposia, Seminars held at National and International levels etc. This enables to project the State and its potential for investments, implementation of its policies and programs, assisting industries in getting quick clearances, administering incentives and concessions announced in state policies. GOK through KBITS is desirous of developing Biotech parks on PPP mode to cater the needs of industry for quality human resource through Biotechnology Finishing Schools Role of Government of India DBT (Department of Biotechnology) is sponsoring Rs 10,000/- as fellowship per student per month in an effort to empower human resource in Biotechnology sector through BTFS.
