Department of Biotechnology

Biotechnology is an interdisciplinary science which encompasses areas viz. Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Virology, Plant and Animal tissue culture, Chemistry and Engineering. It is a fast emerging “cutting edge” science with distinctive advantages as it finds applications in practically all aspects of life. The subject offers exciting opportunities in various fields from basic research to an industry-oriented career.

Keeping in view expanse and applications of biotechnology in every field there is going to be a perpetual demand for resource personnel with biotechnology as specialization. Our undergraduate and postgraduate program is aimed to cater this ever-increasing demand and to groom students to excel in their future career.
