An Introduction to Hindustan

About the Department

Biotechnology is a highly interdisciplinary program encompassing biological sciences and technology to meet the industry and research. The scope and application of the course is manifold in the fields of therapeutics, drug discovery, biopharmaceutics, food processing, marine ecosystem and to find remediations for the environment hazards. The scientific discovery spans from biologics, gene therapy, stem cell therapy for several diseases and environmental solutions like bioenergy, biofouling, bioremediation, and cleantech providing opportunities for Biotechnology graduates in industry and research institutes as an engineer and scientist.

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, moisture retaining crops; all these can be possible with 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 broader scope of the subject, there is a strong potential for employment opportunities in Corporate/Government organisations at research and manufacturing level. The subject keeps evolving with time, which is a stronger impetus for the students to go in for higher education.

Corporate and public R&D organisations recruit biotechnology personnel in good numbers. As the 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, agricultural fields; they are on a constant look out 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, Dr.Reddy's laboratories are some of the companies that actively hire biotech personnel.

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.
