Institutes and colleges in India offering courses in Biotechnology

CAREER IN BIOTECHNOLOGY

INSTITUTES AND COLLEGES IN INDIA OFFERING COURSE IN BIOTECHNOLOGY

An interdisciplinary subject biotechnology encompasses diverse areas of study, be it molecular biology, tissue culture, agricultural engineering, fisheries, genetics or even medicine, Biotechnological procedures apply themselves to a very wide variety of spheres more so because of a clearer understanding of DNA & Genesis. Hence students from a wide range of academic backgrounds can do postgraduate studies in this very specialized field. The growth areas of this discipline are M.Tech/M.Sc. Biotechnology or Biochemistry with focus on Chemical Engineering or Agri Engineering. M.Sc.

Biotechnology is a 2 year course after graduation (10+2+3) pattern of education in Physical, Biological, Agricultural, Veterinary and Fishery Sciences. Graduates in Pharmaceutical Sciences Engineering, Technology or Medicine can also do a post graduation in Biotechnology. For studying and applying Biotechnology to Agriculture or Animal Science, graduation in Agriculture / Horticulture / Forestry / Fisheries /Veterinary Sciences /Agricultural engineering is required.

M.Tech. in Biotechnology can be done after Chemical/Bio-chemical engineering, Leather technology, Pharmaceutical technology, Food Technology, B.Pharma and Dairy technology, Post graduates in life sciences, Botany, Zoology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Genetics, Physiology, Pharmacology and Biophysics can also study for an M.Tech. in Biotechnology. The IIT's at Kharagpur and Delhi conduct a 5 year integrated biotechnology course for the school leaver.
