The Department of Biotechnology was established in the year 2004 offering Graduate, Post graduate and Research programmes. The Department takes legitimate pride in offering several specialized courses like one year Post Graduate Diploma in Fermentation Technology (PGDFT) which was started in 2008, a four year BS Biotechnology (UG Course) started in 2010, and a One year Post Graduate Diploma in Bioinformatics (PGDBI) that was started in 2011. M.Phil and Ph.D programs were started in the academic year 2012 and six students have been awarded Ph.D through the Department. The Department has fully equipped air-conditioned laboratories with computer systems, and instruments like advanced Inverted Microscope, Biosafety Class II Cabinet, CO2 Incubator and ELISA reader, Fermentor, Spectrophotometer, Thermocycler and Gel Documentation System. The excellent infrastructure facilities are available in the Department for the benefit of students and it is appreciated by researchers and academicians. Many International and national conferences/seminars, workshops are conducted periodically. Out gone students are well placed in various health care systems in IT industry and biotechnology institutes by the best recruiters.
