Biotechnology is one of the fastest growing technologies that have revolutionized the world. It is the translation of biological discoveries into sustainable technologies for human life. It comprises industrial, agricultural, medical and other technological applications. Biotechnology is an exciting and rapidly developing interdisciplinary technology. There is an increasing demand for biotechnologists in many branches of industry such as pharmaceutical, medicine, chemical, environmental, agricultural and food and beverage industry.

B.Sc. Biotechnology is a four year 8 semester course of Purbanchal University. It imparts comprehensive knowledge on modern biotechnology backed by practical experience in well equipped laboratories of Molecular Biology, Recombinant DNA Technology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Cell and Developmental Biology, Agricultural Biotechnology, Immunology, Food Technology, Industrial Biotechnology, Genetics, Molecular and Human Genetics, Medical Biotechnology and Environmental Biotechnology etc. Its curriculum is well designed, based on the relevance of current life-science research and the demand of industry.To ensure a comprehensive understanding of real-life biotechnology, opportunities for internships in reputable companies and institutions are available. A fourth year B.Sc. thesis encourages students to perform independent research studies. 

The aim of the B.Sc. Biotechnology degree program is to:

  1. Provide students with a multidisciplinary education in biotechnology and its core subjects.
  2. Lead to employment in industry and government
  3. Provide a basis for postgraduate studies in any of the core disciplines covered in the course.
  4. To make this institution a center of excellence in Biotechnology.
