The four-year undergraduate B.Tech program in Biotechnology & Biochemical Engineering being offered in the department has the main objectives to train students as leaders in research and development in industry and to produce good quality production engineers to cater to the needs of industries in the field of biotechnology and other allied fields. The curriculum of the course encompasses latest development in the field as well as present day and future needs of the industry. This undergraduate program covers both greater depth and breadth due to its extensive course requirements. The curriculum includes courses in biological sciences, chemical and biochemical engineering together with compulsory industrial training. An array of electives gives an opportunity for greater depth in both biology and engineering applications. Relative to many peer institutions, the undergraduate course offered in the department is enhanced due to a high level of interdisciplinary and cross-institution research and training interactions. The department is fully equipped with Biochemistry, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Bioprocess Engineering, Fluid Flow, Enzyme Engineering, Heat and Mass Transfer, Downstream Processing and Computer lab. At the cost of 4 lakhs worth software packages, “ASPEN PLUS“ – Engineering suite and “CHEMCAD- Process simulations software” has been purchased for Software Laboratory. Large numbers of our alumni are placed in various software companies like Infosys.
