Welcome to DBT Star College Scheme
Star College Scheme has been initiated by the Department of Biotechnology, Govt. of India in 2008 to support colleges under urban and rural categories offering undergraduate education to improve science teaching across the country. DBT is committed to the values of,
- Pursuit of excellence.
- Academic and intellectual freedom.
- Creativity and innovation.
- Diversity.
- Cooperation and Communication.
- Accountability
DBT has, therefore, launched a scheme for improving critical thinking and ‘hands-on’ experimental work at the undergraduate (college) level in sciences. It is expected to encourage, more students to take up higher education in science. DBT will identify colleges with ambition and potential for excellence and provide academic and physical infrastructure for achieving excellence in teaching and unique exposure of students to experimental science. Department has supported more than 200 undergraduate colleges across the country in the past 9 years. Apart from financial support, colleges have benefited tremendously from guidance received in Advisory Committee Meetings, mentoring, Task Force Meetings, and learning from peers in other colleges.
