|
You
are aware that the Board had introduced the subject of Biotechnology
as an elective subject in Class XI at senior school level from the
academic year 2002-2003. About 200 schools were granted permission
to introduce this subject in the preceding two sessions. The Board
has also brought out the textual materials and the laboratory manual
in the subject for classes XI & XII. Subsequently, many schools
have been seeking permission from the Board for introduction of
this subject. The following guidelines are given to schools, which
would like to seek affiliation for this subject.
|
|
|
|
|
|
01.
|
The
school should make an application on a plain paper to the
Education Officer (Science), CBSE, 17 Rouse Avenue, New Delhi-110001
on or before 10th March, 2004 giving the following information
:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
whether
you have adequate space for the laboratory for the subject
of Biotechnology in your school?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whether
you will be willing to spend about 4.0 lakhs for the
equipment and instruments in the laboratory?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whether
you would be willing to employ a teacher with a requisite
qualification (Post Graduate in Biotechnoloy/Bio-Chemistry/Genetic
Engineering/Micro Biology/Life Sciences) for the current
session from 2004-2005.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whether you would be willing to depute your teacher
for one week training programme in Delhi or at some
other place identified by the Board at your own cost?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Based on the information made available to us, the Board would
finalise the list of schools and intimate you by last week
of March, 2004
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please note that a mere application sent to the Board is no
guarantee of permission accorded.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
selected schools have to seek affiliation on the prescribed
format from the affiliation branch of the Board by payment
of the necessary fee for the same after grant of formal approval.

The
Board will provide training to the teachers of the selected
schools in the month of April, 2004.
