M.Sc. Biotechnology (under CBCS)

Biotechnology is the exploitation of living systems or molecules from them for commercial gain. Although the word 'biotechnology' is only a few decades old, humankind has been using biotechnology for millennia, for example in baking, brewing and sewage treatment. Modern biotechnologies rely on our increasing ability to manipulate organisms at the genetic level and include novel waste treatments and bioremediations, new pharmaceuticals, the exploitation of enzymes in 'green catalysis' and exciting new diagnostic techniques. Realizing the potential role of Biotechnology, the college has been offering a two- year postgraduate Program in Biotechnology since 1999 in which students receive practical training and are made to conduct guided student seminars and do dissertation work. The college is dedicated to research work in every aspect of medicine, from advanced technology to herbology.
