Diploma in Biotechnology Engineering

Biotechnology is an emerging technology, which involves the knowledge from life sciences along with inputs from the chemical engineering, instrumentation, information technology etc. for the application in agriculture, food industry, Medicine, Pharmaceuticals and bulk chemical industries and environment conservation. The syllabus has been approved by BTE and BIOCON –a major Biotech. Industry

Features
• Exploring the living organisms world for the benefit of mankind.

• Nurturing the skills for upcoming technology

• Apply the principles and methods to other fields.

The Technical Diploma programmes follow a wide spectrum of craft skills and project work within the various engineering options. In addition, thorough grounding is established in basic computing skills, engineering mathematics, engineering science and engineering drawing. A large part of the studies will be hands-on training in excellent workshops equipped to the highest standards. Theoretical studies are included to support practical work.

Career Scope
A diploma in biotechnology moulds students to work in various industries like:

• Pharmaceutical Industry
• Agriculture & Crop
• Improvement industries
• Bioinformatics Sector
• Bulk Chemical Industries

The Diploma qualification provides a good grounding for students who wish to continue further studies or employment where the skills, knowledge and understanding of planning, designing, construction & manufacturing are useful. The programme will develop the student’s understanding for a full range of careers within the manufacturing and maintenance industry as members of a flexible, competitive, multi-skilled workforce.

As a matter of fact, today’s technology driven industries are forcibly looking at diploma students to fill up a lot of vacancies in their organisations when higher engineering skills may not be immediately required.
