The Department of Biotechnology (DBT), NBA Accredited, was established in the year 2012 with an undergraduate programme in Biotechnology. Over the years the department has seen exponential growth and has cemented its credentials both in the field of Teaching and Research. Our vision has been to impart quality education to budding biotechnology professionals and also foster strong interdisciplinary research in frontier areas of Biotechnology. Biotechnology department has signed MOUs with Codon Biotech. Pvt. Ltd., Noida & Institute for Industrial Research & Toxicology, Ghaziabad. We also have collaboration with various reputed institutes like IIT Roorkee, GGSIP University Delhi, IET Lucknow, NDRI Karnal, Biotech Park Lucknow, etc. Apart from providing in-depth knowledge of core biotechnology subjects, the students are provided with additional training in soft skills and foreign languages. The Institute offers a lot of opportunities to explore extracurricular activities for holistic and enriching experience to B.Tech. Biotechnology students. Our faculty members are involved in interdisciplinary research in frontier areas such as bio process technology, environmental biotechnology, nanotechnology, microbial technology, bioinformatics, genetic engineering to name a few. The grant of research activities includes Projects, Patents & Publications; and commercialization products are also under process.

Vision To become a prime influencer in the field of Biotechnology and provide a vibrant learning environment to the students that will have a transformative impact on the society in terms of academics, research and entrepreneurship.
