According to me, This training is best for students who do not want to pursue academic research (PhD) and want to do Job only. But whoever wish to continue their academic career after MSc, i will suggest not to waste their time in this training rather prepare for NET and get admission for PhD.

This training will help to get starting job in different pharma/biotech companies R&D and you may get absorbed in the same company where you will be selected through BCIL.
