Often, it becomes difficult for any bioscience and life science graduate to match with the industry expectations. With this new course of Biocon Academy through our partnership with JSS, we are aiming to deliver the best-in-class curriculum to the students and also offer them complete practical exposure in various disciplines, much before they are recruited by any pharma and biopharma company. This course will equip them with the relevant industry skills required to be successful in their career as a RA professional."

To ensure holistic approach, the students will get an opportunity to have hands-on training with PharmaReady- NJ, Glova- Blr, CDSCO-New Delhi, JSS Hospital-Mysuru, and will also benefit from Employee Shadowing during the 16 weeks of extensive learning program. Considering that, we are offering this course at a very affordable price due to the scholarship of 60% of the program cost provided by Biocon Group of Companies, makes this a perfect pathway for the students to build a robust career in regulatory affairs."
Dr T M Pramod Kumar, Dean, Faculty of Pharmacy, JSS AHER said, "Biocon Academy is doing an exceptional job in bridging the gap between academia and the industry in association with several prestigious academic institutes. JSS has been imparting knowledge to pharma students for more than 3 decades at postgraduate level, and we are privileged to be the knowledge partners for the Biocon JSS AHER Certificate Program in Global Regulatory Affairs.
