About M.Sc. in Biotechnology
Amalgamation of biology and technology is biotechnology, a fast growing and evolving field in
science. Biotechnology scenario in the world is changing rapidly and dynamically. The department of
Biotechnology at Rungta pursues in preparing the students for this competitive field of science,
with well-crafted curriculum and syllabi and imparts current advancement and understanding about
biotechnology along with basic knowledge about research. The department constantly provides the
latest developments in the fields of pharmaceutical, bio-pharmaceutical, and drug discovery sectors,
healthcare, diagnostic and therapeutic, plant and animal sciences, and environmental sectors along
with the core subjects.
The MSc in Biotechnology combines two of these disciplines, focusing on biology and chemistry along
with principles of design and engineering. It comprises biosciences credentials like microbiology
and immunology, biochemistry, molecular biology & genetic engineering, plant and animal cell &
tissue culture, genomics and proteomics, IPR and bioethics and bioengineering like bioprocess
technology, downstream processing, unit operations and the like.
The main thrust of the programme is on research support on short-term basis leading towards
scientific excellence, development of new products or processes, large-scale demonstrations,
validation of R&D leads. Students are given strong insights into both theoretical and practical
aspects of individual subjects.
Students, going through the course, are prepared to work in the bioscience industry in the areas of
Research & Development in Vaccine production, Biofertilizers production, clinical testing, and
diagnostic work. Potential employers include biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, as well as
