For a developing country such as India, the agricultural community is dependent on regular monsoon rains for good yield. With global warming, it has been predicted that rainfall patterns may be erratic. To be dependent on a single natural factor to help in good agricultural productivity is a risk, which is not worth taking. Instead, crops can be made adaptable to the extremes of weather such as drought-resistant seeds, and moisture-retaining crops; all these can be possible with the help of Biotechnology.

Besides, the use of pesticides can be also made redundant, if pest-resistant seeds can be developed. Similarly, in the medical arena, gene therapy can help people to reduce the risk of preventing hereditary diseases. Stem cell technology is one of the key outcomes of biotechnology and molecular biology. With the broader scope of the subject, there is a strong potential for employment opportunities in Corporate/Government organisations at the research and manufacturing levels.

Biotechnology subjects keep evolving with time, which is a stronger impetus for the students to go in for higher education.

PEO1: To impart knowledge of biological and chemical sciences, emphasizing their practical application in biological systems.

PEO2: To cultivate expertise in essential and applied biotechnology fields, nurturing professionalism and leadership qualities.

PEO3: To empower students with practical skills essential for conducting innovative research projects in the field of biotechnology.

Pursuing a B Tech in Biotechnology at HITS opens up a wide range of career opportunities. With its diverse applications, Biotechnology is now a significant player in the fields of medicine, agriculture, environmental science, and industry. Corporate and public R&D organisations recruit biotechnology personnel in good numbers. As employers realise the need for indigenous development of ideas domestically, they look for good quality personnel to ramp up their operations.

Besides, research organisations also see good scope for new and improved products and processes in medical, and agricultural fields; they are on a constant lookout for motivated personnel. Contract Research organisations in the pharmaceutical and Biotech industry recruit graduating college students; they are trained and inducted in the workplace. Dupont, Biocon, Dow Chemicals, and Dr Reddy's laboratories are some of the companies that actively hire biotech personnel.

Some of the high-profile B Tech Biotechnology career options encompass roles such as Biochemist, Biomedical Engineer, Microbiologist, Process Development Scientist, Biotech Research Scientist, Biotech Product Analyst, Biotech Quality Control Analyst, Biotech Patent Analyst, Research and Development (R&D) Scientist, Biotechnologist, Clinical Research Associate, Environmental Biotechnologist, and Entrepreneur.

Students looking to advance their academic journey can enrol in the M.Tech Biotechnology course at Hindustan Institute of Technology and Science.

Programs offered

B.Tech - Biotechnology

Students who have studied Physics, Chemistry along with maths/biology/computer science at the higher secondary schooling level, are eligible for a B.Tech in Biotechnology. As biology is taught from a level from where anyone can comprehend; students, who have had a non-biology subject apart from maths, physics and chemistry will not be at a disadvantage.
