Introduction

Department of Biotechnology has started B.Sc. Biotechnology a three years degree course in the year 2005.

The course structure facilitates students to understand the basic concepts and principles in the Chemical, Physical and Life sciences needed for better understanding of the advances in the field of Biotechnology.

This course is based on studies in various specialized disciplines like Microbiology, Biochemistry, Genetics, Molecular biology, Cell biology, Recombinant DNA technology, Tissue culture technology, Stem cell technology, Environmental biology and Bioinformatics.

Our undergraduate program is aimed to groom students to excel in their future career so as to furnish the ever rising demand of Biotechnologists for practical applications in all aspects of life.

Objectives
