Master of Science in Biotechnology

The Department of Biotechnology was established in 2002. This Department has an objective of a broad spectrum of students which includes UG, PG, M.Phil. and PhD programmes. The Department started with a PG degree in Biotechnology in 2002 and a UG programme in 2005. Later, the M.Phil course was introduced in 2013 and followed by a PhD research programme in 2018. Now, the Department has intensively committed to inculcating quality academic and research activities in the students with well-experienced faculty members. M.Sc. Biotechnology course material can be classified into two sections- the theory section and the practical section. In the theory section, students will have to deal with subjects related to biology as well as basic technology concepts. The practical section is also very important. Students will have to spend a good amount of time in the laboratory, performing practical lessons as well as lab training. At the end of the course, a research project is also held. Lab activities form a major part of the project.
