The Department of Biotechnology made a modest beginning in 2008 with the commencement of B.Sc Biotechnology Course. Since then department is working continuously with upgraded knowledge and technical base. The backbone of the department is the intellectual rigor provided by a dedicated faculty and students coming from all across the country.
Biotechnology is an interdisciplinary science which encompasses areas viz. Molecular Biology, Genetics, Microbiology, Virology, Plant and Animal tissue culture, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Recombinant DNA Technology, Agricultural Biotechnology, Food and Pharmaceuticals, Bioinformatics, IPR and Patenting. It is a fast emerging 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 expense and applications of biotechnology, in every field there is going to be a perpetual demand for resource personnel with biotechnology as specialization. Taking the increasing demand of the subject onto consideration, department faculty groom students and make them ready to excel their futuristic challenges.
