Introduction
Biotechnology is the application of scientific and engineering principles to the processing of materials by biological agents to develop products and processes.Biotechnology applies engineering and other principles to add to the abilities of organisms and thereby developing processes useful to mankind’s progress. Diverse activities like developing new variety of seeds, improving stock breeds, creating pesticides of various kinds and developing industrial enzymes that hasten the production process etc are fields biotechnology has been marching ahead .
This postgraduate programs lays emphasis on practical llaboratory training with industrial visits forming a part of the course supplementing the regular curriculum. Some of the subjects covered during the course of study include General Microbiology, Bio-molecules, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Immunology, Bio-informatics and Computer Applications, Animal Biotechnology, Plant Biotechnology, Bio-ethics, Genetic Engineering and Environmental Biotechnology.
