B.Sc Honours in Biotechnology

           The development and utilization of biological processes, forms and systems for obtaining maximum benefits to human being and other forms of life i.e. it is the science of applied biological processes. It is the application of scientific and engineering principles to the processing of materials by biological agents to provide goods and service. Biotechnology is the most up growing area of science and technology in the present scenario of research and development as well as employment, which can fulfil the need to face the challenging task of 21st century. Biotechnology offers great opportunities in various industries like agricultural, pharmaceuticals, chemical, fermentation industries etc.
