M.Sc. (Biotechnology)

M.Sc. Biotechnology

A very brief overview of the programme :

Biotechnology has emerged as one of the most prominent branches of science. It has become an inevitable part of industries such as Pharmaceuticals, Agriculture, Food & Beverages, etc., as well as the R & D divisions of Health Care, Nutrition, and Environmental Conservation. The Biotechnology course is designed to equip the students with comprehensive knowledge on tools and techniques employed in Agriculture and Industry in addition to formal classroom teaching, well-planned lab sessions, interactive tutorials, exposure to experimental tools used in the biotechnology industry and research is provided through a carefully designed industry-centric curriculum. Students develop problem-solving and decision-making skills as well as scientific aptitude through this course.

Eligibility Criteria for admission to the programme: Candidates with Bachelor's Degree in Life Science/Agriculture/Pharmacy/Chemical Engineering/Medicine/Veterinary/ Dairy/Fisheries/Horticulture/Forestry from any University recognized by UGC/ICAR/AICTE/Medical Council with an aggregate minimum of 55% (50% in case of SC/ST) or equivalent grade.
