B.Tech Biotechnology

Overview of the Programme

The Department of Biotechnology was established in 2020 and has a strong multidisciplinary research and teaching foundation in Biotechnology. It conducts joint research with other Institute departments as well as other local and foreign institutes. The department recently established a cutting-edge center for biotechnology research.

B.Tech. in Biotechnology program at Rathinam Technical Campus is designed to foster and teach individuals with a passionate interest in research and the bio-industry to tackle the current challenges of biotech research/industry. The curriculum emphasizes fundamental and practical understanding of  vital biotechnology disciplines, as well as specialized sectors through specific programs in  Medical and Nano-biotechnology. “In addition, optional courses from different fields will give students with interdisciplinary experience. Hands-on laboratory training, along with the mini project components to be completed in-house/other R&D institutes/industries, will provide students with the skills needed in today’s job market, both in academia and in industry, upon completion of the program.

Bio incubation hub( Bio-i-hub) is the highlight of our department that uses innovation technologies to promote strategic areas with a high capacity to transform and impact people’s Sustainable development goals. The Center’s prime goal is to foster and accelerate cutting-edge biotechnological product developments by providing a wide variety of assistance to innovators and entrepreneurs working at the confluence of bioscience and technology.

The department currently offers

  • Tech in Biotechnology (Regular – 4 Years)

Opportunities

Biotechnology is perceived as a revolution throughout the world. Through Research and Development (R & D), have developed and are continuing to develop cures for diseases that have affected people for decades and even centuries. Scientists recently have also clinically developed crops that can withstand the brutalities of weather changes, helping poor farmers of developing countries retain their yield and increase their output manifold. Thus, biotech, considered a boon by some, provides great hope to many worldwide, and its benefits are and will be realized by more and more people over the years.
