B.Sc. Biotechnology & Botany

The Dual Major Programme in Biotechnology and Botany is an innovative undergraduate programme that integrates the study of plant science with modern biotechnological approaches. It provides students with a strong foundation in classical botany - covering plant anatomy, physiology, taxonomy, ecology, and genetics, while simultaneously developing their skills in biotechnology, including molecular biology, genetic engineering and industrial applications.

This interdisciplinary curriculum is designed to prepare students for careers in research, agriculture, environmental management, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology industries, as well as for higher studies in Life Sciences. The programme nurtures scientific inquiry, analytical thinking, and practical competence through a blend of theory, laboratory work, and project-based learning.

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.
