Department of Life Sciences / B.Sc. Biotechnology & Biochemistry
The Dual Major Programme in Biotechnology and Biochemistry is an interdisciplinary undergraduate programme designed to provide a strong foundation in the biological sciences, integrating the principles and applications of both biotechnology and biochemistry. The programme equips students with theoretical knowledge and practical skills in molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, enzymology and biochemical techniques, along with exposure to emerging biotechnological tools and innovations.
By combining the two complementary disciplines, the programme prepares graduates for diverse career paths in research, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, agriculture, and the biotech industry, as well as for higher studies in life sciences and allied fields. The B.Sc. is a three-year degree programme. However, as per the provisions of the new National Education Policy (NEP 2020), a student may continue into the fourth year and earn a B.Sc Honours degree.
Comprehensive training in enzymology, metabolism, bioenergetics, recombinant DNA, and molecular life processes.
Advanced hands-on experience in spectrophotometry, chromatography, electrophoresis, and clinical diagnostics.
Four-year honours framework with research dissertation, industry internships, and exit options.
Graduates are equipped with scientific acumen, analytical competence, and practical expertise required across leading industries and research laboratories.
A structured academic pathway designed for high-impact professional careers and advanced research excellence.
