The Department of Biotechnology offers outcome-based programs that are designed to meet the needs and challenges of the industry.

The department now offers a four-year UG program, instead of three-year program.

The programs emphasize application-based teaching, learning and research by highly experienced and qualified faculty members and provide students with the adequate skills and knowledge to lead the biotechnology industry to new heights.

The three-year undergraduate program (B.Sc (Hons) in Biotechnology) has been thoughtfully designed to bridge the prevalent gap between academia and industry. In addition to the fundamental subjects of biotechnology, the program includes biomathematics, biostatistics, computer programming, and chemical science lending a multitude of career options for students.

 Research - Biotechnology

The Department also offers two postgraduate programs, an M. Sc. in Biotechnology and an M. Sc. in Molecular and Cellular Biology. Efforts are made to provide future-focused subjects and courses that prepare students for a changing tomorrow.

Given that translational research and biosimilar products are believed to be the future of biotechnology, the skill-based electives available to students are pharmaceutical biotechnology, synthetic biology, molecular carcinogenesis, drug design and delivery, artificial intelligence and healthcare, downstream processing, upstream processing, etc.

Partnerships with organisations and institutes like Mazumdar Shaw Medical Foundation (MSMF), HCG-Strand Genomics, and Narayana Health Foundation also open the door to valuable learning and employment opportunities for students. The proximity to the Indian Institute of Science campus contributes to a truly exciting learning and research ambiance.

Highlights

The highlights of Department of Biotechnology are:
  • To develop and retain a sustainable source of biotechnology professionals through education, training, and career development initiatives.
  • To understand the fundamentals of life science research and their implications in healthcare and agriculture.
