BIOTECHNOLOGY

PROFILE

Vision

• Quality education to develop competent Biotechnologists for the welfare of society.

mission

• To regularly update the course curriculum, catering to the needs of academia and industry.

• To emphasize the recent trends in Biotechnology through workshops and seminars. • To inculcate ethical research culture.

• To expose students to entrepreneurial avenues in science.

The B.Sc Biotechnology program was started as a UGC sponsored B.Sc Vocational course in the year 1994. The subject is offered in combination with Chemistry and Zoology. The department has experienced teachers and well-equipped laboratories to conduct experiments at undergraduate levels. Industrial visits, student research projects, workshops, guest lectures, and student seminars are an integral part of the department activities.
