What is the objective of BINC examination?

Neel — Mon, 12 Aug 2013 09:36:53 -0500

I personally did not understand the objective behind BINC examination. Is government only try to show off that they are doing something to promote Indian bioinformatics sector?

Moreover, It looks like BINC indirectly putting an extra burden to bioinformatician, mentally and financially.

BINC (Bioinformatics National Certification) Examination 2018

Jit — Mon, 23 Apr 2018 03:34:53 -0500

Bioinformatics National Certification (BINC) was instituted by Department of Biotechnology, Government of India in 2005 at Savitribai Phule Pune University, formerly University of Pune, Pune to certify bioinformatics professionals and recognizing candidate's theoretical and practical ability and fostering interdisciplinary research. Later on, it was transferred to Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi and then to Pondicherry University, Puducherry. Pondicherry University conducted the BINC examination in 2015, 2016 and 2017.

Biotech Consortium India Limited (BCIL), New Delhi is conducting the BINC 2018 examination on behalf Department of Biotechnology, Government of India.

BINC is a certification programme for graduate and post-graduate students for recognizing their exceptional bioinformatics knowledge and skills and to improve their employment opportunities. There is a growing need for trained manpower in the area of Bioinformatics. Currently, various universities and institutions, both government and private, impart Bioinformatics education in India. The qualifying candidates will be awarded a lifetime certificate. This certification would facilitate industries and potential employers in recruitment of Bioinformatics professionals having exceptionally good bioinformatics skills.

The certification under Bioinformatics National Certification (BINC) scheme is given to the candidates after three tier selection process. The successful candidates are also eligible for availing Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) for pursuing Ph.D. in Bioinformatics at recognized Indian universities/institutes. The research fellowships of all BINC qualified Indian nationals are funded by DBT. BINC qualified candidates are called DBT certified Bioinformaticians while the individuals availing the fellowships are called as DBT-BINC Junior Research Fellows (DBT-BINC-JRF). Cash prize of 10,000/- each is awarded to the top 10 BINC qualifiers.

Eligibility

i) Bachelor's/Master's degree in Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Mathematical Sciences, Agriculture, Veterinary, Medicine, Pharmacy, Engineering and Technology.

ii) No formal training, diploma or certificate in bioinformatics is required.

iii) Candidates in final year of Bachelor's/ Master's degree are also eligible to apply.

Pattern of Examination

Syllabus

The syllabus consists of six sections - Bioinformatics, Biology, Physical Science, Chemical Science, Mathematics & Statistics, and Information Technology.

Note: Paper-III will be computer based practical and will include programming on Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics in Africa: Part5 - Nigeria

BioStar — Sat, 06 Feb 2021 21:13:47 -0600

Covenant University (CU)Ota:
Covenant University (with her enriching and growing stateoftheart laboratories in the area of science and technology, arts, business and social sciences) is presently the Best University in Nigeria (Private University category), based on the recent overall rating just concluded by the Nigeria University Commission (NUC). Recently, Covenant University has initiated the establishment of a Centre for Applied Biotech, BioInformatics and Microbiology (CBBM) to be situated at the University. The institute has been designed to be a PublicPrivate Partnership for a productive synergy b/w Academia, Industry and Government. The whole concept is still evolving and more details will be release soon. As regards CBBM, a dedicated computing lab is in plan, but even our computing capacity is presently enormous. In the department of Computer and Information Sciences, we have more than 250 Pentium 4 PCs set aside for teaching and research purposes. Furthermore, we have several moderate speed PCs at the Postgraduate research lab and our engineering departments and units. Our wet lab facilities is presently minimal (basic for teaching), the Centre requirement as it touches the wetlaboratories is also set to upgrade this to basic tools expected at an international centre of learning.

University of Ibadan (UIB)Ibadan:
There has been significant increase in the number of bioinformatics activities in Nigeria (and West Africa) since 2003 when the program was initiated by the West African Biotechnology Workshops Series (WABWS, http://www.wabw.org) at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria (in collaboration with the South African National Bioinformatics Institute (SANBI, http:/www.sanbi.ac.za). Workshops that were open to scientists from all African countries have seen a very high number of applications from scientists based in West Africa. The encouraging desire to acquire cuttingedge skills to computational process data and extract useful knowledge from genome projects led to the interest of the West African Biotechnology Workshops (WABW) to develop an agenda to address the bioinformatics skills gap among scientists in West Africa. An increased commitment from agencies like NEPAD would be required in the provision of infrastructure to establish and sustain regional and national networks.

University of Ilorin (UIL)Ilorin:
The University of Ilorin was established in 1976 by the Federal Government of Nigeria. Bioinformatics activities started at the University in February 2003 with the establishment of the West African Bioinformatics Research Initiative (WABRI). However, progress has been rather slow due to inadequate funding. We are mainly engaged in Bioinformatics training at the introductory level and proteomics studies on various species of malaria parasites. Recently, we became interested in comparative genome analysis of various species of Plasmodium and the comparison of chloroquine sensitive and chloroquine resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Other activities and areas of interest can be seen on our website, http://www.wabri.org, although not all our proposed interests have been fully implemented due to our level of funding.

Training:
The University of Ilorin has introduced M.Sc. and Ph.D. programmes in Computer Science (with options in Bioinformatics). The programme is based in the Department of Computer Science and emphasis is on the development of algorithms to solve problems in bioinformatics. The Covenant University offers M.Sc. and Ph.D in Computer Science with option in Bioinformatics (Computational Biology). Furthermore, through affiliated departments, the CBBM is been design to award Diploma and Degree certificates in Biotechnology.
