The department of Biotechnology was established in 2006.
Biotechnology department is allocated at first floor of the science building.
It covered 2200 sq. feet area of college campus. Today biotechnology department have five teaching faculties along with one non-teaching staff. Student strength in biotechnology department in academic year 2020-2021 is 40 in all three year degree courses.
Scope and importance of the subject:
Biotechnology is one of the emerging career fields in India and Abroad. Food technology, Nutrition, Medicines, Healthcare, Forensic Sciences are some of fields of biotechnology. The scope of biotechnology is wide and offers opportunities in the field of both research and engineering.
Biotechnology is a broad field. From using yeast in the production of bread to evidence like hair, skin or blood scrutinized by Forensic Scientists, all are an application of the glorious field of biotechnology. A course in biotechnology enables you to make your contribution for the benefit of humankind. Some of the courses in biotechnology are:
Carrier oriented job opportunities after M.Sc. Biotechnology in Pharmaceutical Industries
A wide scope in the research laboratory all over India.
Improvement of Research oriented job skill/attitude.
Biomedical Engineering
Food Technology
Nutrition and Diabetics
Forensic Sciences
Microbiology
Biochemistry

Importance of Biotechnology-
Technology generally aims to create tools to empower man. Biotechnology aims to change man himself to better fit him to the world.
Simply put, biotechnology is the application of advances made in the biological sciences, especially involving the science of genetics and its application. Biotechnology has helped improve food quality, quantity and processing. It also has applications in manufacturing, where simple cells and proteins can be manipulated to produce chemicals. But biotechnology is important for its implications in health and medicine. Through genetic engineering – the controlled alteration of genetic material – scientists have been able to create new medicines, including interferon for cancer patients, synthetic human growth hormone and synthetic insulin, among others. In recent years, scientists have also attempted to employ the methods of genetic engineering to correct certain inherited conditions, and have been making great strides in their ability to manipulate genetic materials. These advances suggest the prospect of human control over the very genetic makeup of man, and thus the ability to manipulate our inherited traits. The consequences of man’s growing power over human genetics are enormous, and they become ever more immediate each day. Many observers have suggested that just as the late 20th century has been the age of computer technology, so the early 21st century will be the age of biotechnology.
