Vision


    Biotechnology is the research oriented applied Science including effusion of biology and technology. This includes Genetics, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Virology, Immunology and Genetic engineering. It also includes other subjects such as Agriculture, Bio-statistics, Bio-informatics, Marine biology, health and medicine. Biotechnology can be applied in industries to develop new therapeutic drugs, vaccines, diagnostic kits, bio fertilisers, bio pesticides, transgenic plants, transgenic animals, bio fuels, beverages etc.


Values:         To provide an in depth learning to develop technical skills necessary for success in the field of Biotechnology.

  1. To strive basic knowledge and skills of various aspects of biotechnology.
  2.  To provide the students to develop awareness of different topics of biotechnology through lectures and practical
  3.  To train the students to choose wide opportunities like scientists, research assistants, entrepreneurs, industry leader and academicians.
  4.  To emphasize and equip the students towards research updates and innovative industrial developments.
