B.Tech Bio Technology
The Department of Biotechnology is instituted in the year 2020 to promote academic
excellence under the mentoring of resourceful faculty members to produce competent
Biotechnologists. Currently, the Department offers B.Tech in Biotechnology program with
an intake of 23 students which has been approved by AICTE. The department has curated
faculty members who are specialised in the areas of Immunology, Bioprocess and Chemical
Engineering, Genetic Engineering, Computational Biology and Nanobiotechnology. Most of
the Professors have diverse academic and research background as they are graduated from
premier universities and state of the art research institutes in India. The students are
trained to realize the potential need of Biotechnologists in the society and upgrade the
recent advancements in the Biotechnology field.
