| Biotechnology is the application of scientific and engineering principles to the processing of materials by biological agents to provide goods and services. The 21st century is expected to generate tremendous employment opportunities in biotech-based technologies such as nanotechnology, stem cell research, cell signalling, health care biosensors, bioremediation, bioinformatics, pharmaceutics and genetically modified pest resistant crops. A biotech degree will help you to prepare for an exciting and highly remunerative career in these fields. |

The Faculty of Biotechnology provides a wide range of courses designed to develop knowledge and understanding of both the practice and theory of biotechnology. The faculty has academic alliances with Seoul National University, South Korea for exchange of students and is developing a programme for credit transfer and student exchange with National Hampshire University, USA. The faculty has also formed mutually beneficial links with various industries for student projects and training.
Further, to satisfy the requirements of the biotech industry, our graduates are imparted practical training in plant tissue culture, biotransformation, fermentation, DNA and RNA isolation, industrial microbes screening and production, biochemical analysis and standardization of analytical instruments.
