B Tech in Biotechnology

B Tech in Biotechnology

The four year B.Tech-Biotechnology programme aims to produce world-class engineering professionals in Biotechnology capable of meeting the challenges of the diverse fields of food and health care, environment and agriculture etc who would contribute to social and economic development. The curriculum consists of an eight semester programme. In the first two semesters, the students are given instructions in basic sciences and humanities in a manner that would facilitate their smooth passage from the intermediate level of education and acclimatize them in a professionally oriented learning process.
The duration of B.Tech programme is of eight semesters spread over four years. Eight semesters includes classroom instruction, laboratory work, industrial training and project work.
