Selected by aptitude — not by cut-off.
The Postgraduate Diploma in Quality Assurance is distinguished by its inclusive approach to admissions. We look beyond academic scores to assess aptitude, potential and motivation.
A graduate in the sciences — and a willingness to learn.
The course is open to both men and women, with a background in chemical or biological sciences. Graduation is the minimum qualification required.
Our student community is deliberately diverse — comprising science graduates drawn from colleges across India. This diversity strengthens classroom discussion and mirrors the cross-disciplinary nature of quality work in the real world.
