The Department of Biotechnology was established in the year 2002 with the goal of rendering innovative education to the learning aspirers. Department of Biotechnology offers UG, PG, M.Phil and Ph.D programs. Since its inception, the Department has contributed a lot in terms of teaching, learning and research. We have a team of faculties who contributes much to the development of the potentials of students. Department enhances the knowledge base of students and creates research curiosity among students generating highly skilled human resource. The autonomy brings into force industry and research oriented syllabus and hour based curriculum helps the students to excel their knowledge towards innovate, incubate ideas and nurture the needs of society. The Department is approved and recognized as DBT STAR College Scheme since 2018, which also stimulates research interest as a team from under graduate level. With the support of the Management, DST-FIST and DBT STAR College Scheme, we equipped the research labs with modern equipments and infrastructures which kindle research interests among budding Biotechnologists.
