BSc Biotechnology is a branch of science which deals with the application of biology in the technical world. B. Sc. in Biotechnology is a 3- year undergraduate course, involving an advanced study of the cellular and bimolecular processes for the development of a variety of technologies and products that contribute to improving people’s lives and health. The course is divided across 6 semesters. The course familiarizes candidates with the usage of living organisms and bioprocesses in the field of medicine, technology, engineering, and other bioproducts.

Overall syllabus of 3 years of BSc biotechnology is:
