Course Overview
The Biochemistry certification course is designed in a manner that will engage students with elementary education about the field and later it will bring them to the main scope of the course. This curriculum is an initial study that focuses on fundamental principles of biochemistry. The Biochemistry - IITKGP certification reflects on the understanding of the biological biomolecules: carbohydrates, sugars, nucleic acids.
In addition to the principles of enzyme chemistry, the arrangement and functional functions of the macromolecules will be studied: kinetic models, pathways, resistance, structure, and process. The course will also discuss the fundamentals of membrane transportation and bioenergy concepts. After the end of the Biochemistry training, students are expected to grasp the chemical composition and the three-dimensional arrangement of these biomolecules in relation to their biological role.
The course will take the modules of the whole curriculum one by one that will be engaged with the equally practical and theoretical studies for the program. The entire course will make the students more and more engaged with learning biochemistry with different assessments.

Eligibility Criteria
Education
As such, there are no criteria set by the UGC for applying in the Biochemistry certification but being an undergraduate/postgraduate course, some elementary and basic study in the field of chemistry and biology will enhance the understanding of the enrolled candidate.
Certification qualifying details
Candidate can learn the entire course for free but for being eligible for the certification criteria, the candidate needs to get 25% as an average score in the best of 8 assignments out of the total in internal assessments and 75% of the aggregate marks in the certification exam. Evaluation of the Biochemistry - IITKGP training will be done on the basis of sum marks from internal and external examination.
