Overview
Biotechnology is the amalgamation of biology and technology and is a fast-growing and evolving field in science.The recent development in the field of Biotechnology has resulted in a rapid growth and establishment of biotechnological industries. This has resulted in great demand for trained manpower in this field and has opened new career opportunities for young generation of the state. To cater to this need, the College has started the degree programme B.Sc. Biotechnology in 2008. Since its recent establishment, the department is functioning efficiently with the help of well-established laboratory and hardworking staff. The course is for students who have a background in Biology and who are interested in a career in the field of research or industry encompassing pharmaceuticals, breweries and food production.
The department offers foundation courses in Biochemistry, Microbiology, Cell and Molecular Biology, Genetics, Genetic Engineering, Immunology and Industrial Biotechnology. We also offer elective courses in Molecular Genetics, Plant and Animal diversity, physiology and cell culture, Bio-statistics and Bioinformatics. Each course has a practical component where in students gain hands-on experience of experiments based on the concepts learned in theory. Online resources are available through Learning Management systems such as CLAAP (Chowgules Learn Anytime Any Place) /Google class rooms, etc. We have a compulsory internship programme wherein students work for a minimum of four weeks with pharmaceutical companies, research institutes, etc.
In addition to the regular lectures, we also organize guest lectures on the latest developments in Biotechnology. As a part of this course, students undertake a six-months project which they are encouraged to present at National Seminars or National/ International Conferences and to further publish their data in peer-reviewed journals. We want students who are highly motivated to learn new concepts, comfortable in a laboratory setting and most importantly, who have a patient disposition.
