BT FINISHING SCHOOL

Biotech Industries in the State have repeatedly represented to the Government that there is a severe shortage of Industry-ready Graduates and Post Graduates to meet the growing demand of the Biotech Industries. Several rounds of discussion were held with Industry Representatives, ABLE and Members of the Biotech Vision Group to set right the above lacunae. In the Millennium Biotech Policy-II, Government of Karnataka has announced that, to begin with, 10 BT Finishing Schools will be established in the State with appropriate course content and duration to equip graduates and post-graduates, with necessary employable skills to make them industry-ready. To begin with, the Government will promote 10 Finishing Schools, selected by ABLE and the Vision Group on Biotechnology. The Finishing Schools will have to seek ABLE’s recognition and accreditation from a recognized university. The State Government will provide financial support to each of the 10 Finishing Schools towards setting up necessary lab instruments and other technology-related gadgets and equipment required to train the students. State support will be limited to 25% of the cost, subject to a maximum of Rs.1 crore per BT Finishing School
