Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in Bio-Technology

B.Tech Bio-Technology Course Details

B.Tech Bio-Technology is a study of combining Engineering and Biology that includes chemical engineering, genetics, molecular science, etc. which helps in the development of products by using natural systems for use in the healthcare sector, medicine industry, and other applications. This programme is intended for students who wish to pursue a career at the crossroads of life science and technology.

B.Tech Bio-Technology is a field that focuses on studying living systems and using concepts of engineering in the development of products and technologies that include vaccines, drugs, diagnostic devices, biofuels, genetically modified crops as well as bioprocessing technologies. Students are well-trained in such subjects as microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetic engineering, bioinformatics and biochemical engineering.

Biotechnology, with the advancement of human medical science, pharmaceuticals manufacturing and processing technologies, genetic engineering and environmental sustainability, has become one of the most promising high-growth sectors at a global level. In India, initiatives by the government (including Make in India, Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC) and National Biotechnology Development Strategy), increasing investments in healthcare and life sciences have led to a surge in demand for trained biotech professionals.

Our B.Tech Bio-Technology graduates are instrumental in the discovery of path-breaking healthcare solutions, increasing productivity in agriculture and food products for better security and the environment. The course will be of interest to students who are curious about the field of biology and would like an opportunity to use engineering methods to solve practical biological problems.
