Biotechnology is a course that is a intermediate of life and Technology. Industrial visits and Laboratory classes are held often in between theoretical classes. Classroom are well equipped with whiteboards, blackboards and smart classes, projectors. Teachers make sure that students are familiar with the course.

Many companies from many different places around India offer internships that you can join either in between classes but mostly it is during semester breaks. Internships can be paid or unpaid and stipend based or not.

Eligibility for Placement is semester 7 and 8 which is 4th year. A number of companies visit the campus including HCL foundation, ICICI Bank, Mother Dairy, Godrej agrovet Ltd. Etc. I myself am thinking of going into research field so i'll have to do further studies in the same field.
