In 2013, Biocon Academy was founded by Biocon as a CSR initiative and a Centre of Excellence for ‘Advanced Learning in Applied Biosciences'. The Academy was started with a vision to transform raw talent in the Indian workforce into skilful industry professionals and bridge the gap between the industry and academia. This skill development objective is achieved by offering short-term certificate programs based on imparting industrial training, and within a span of 11 years, we have trained more than 1200 students in the life sciences sector and have successfully placed every student in 80+ biotech industries pan India.

Academically speaking, we have adapted a unique four-pillar training model to offer the best-in-class skill development training to life sciences graduates and post-graduates. Our students are provided with Application-Oriented Industry-Training by the renowned faculty of our educational partners. Alongside, Subject Matter Experts of Biocon, Biocon Biologics and Syngene covering R&D, Manufacturing, QC, QA, QC Microbiology and National/International Regulatory Affairs departments during live-experiential training in their state-of-the-art industrial facilities.

We do not stop just here. Our students also receive hands-on experience during the week-long training sessions organized in collaboration with our training partners including ThermoFisher Scientific, BiOZEEN, Merck, Syngene CAPS and JSS Hospital. And, lastly, we know how important professional skills are to every person, and thus, we provide a ‘Campus-to-Corporate’ professional skills development program by corporate and in-house trainers and transform our students to become industry-ready!

Biocon Academy's success stories go beyond providing industry-oriented training; we also ensure 100% interview opportunities, leading to 100% placements in various biotech and allied industries across all our programs. We are proud to say that our students are today working with some of the best biotech companies including Cipla, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, GlaxoSmithKline, Aragen Lifesciences, Syngene, Biocon, Biocon Biologics, Thermo Fisher, Novonesis, Lupin, and IQVIA among many others.

We are looking forward to transforming the student in you into an industry-ready professional!

Best Wishes!
