M.Sc. Biotechnology

Initiated in the year 2010, the course was started with a vision to impart in-depth knowledge of biotechnology and train  students in developing expertise in biological engineering. It is a four semester program whose curriculum  includes courses in biological sciences and engineering together with relevant laboratory programs, and a research project leading to a dissertation. The university has recognised the significant role being  played by biotechnologists in industrial development and has sought to implement an integrated approach towards education as well as research and development of various bioprocesses. The students are specifically groomed for  R&D industry. Multidisciplinary approach is the essence of the course which is achieved by offering open electives. The department has a strong interdisciplinary research and teaching base in biological sciences and engineering which prepares the student for industry as well as research programs.
