A Centre of Biosciences was started in 1980 and upgraded to a full-fledged academic Department of
Biosciences and Biotechnology in 1986. It was renamed as the Department of Biotechnology in the year
2002. The department has teaching and research programmes which encompass various basic and applied
aspects of modern biotechnology. The main objective of the Department is to provide academic training
and conduct research in the interdisciplinary areas of biotechnology with a particular emphasis on
extending the knowledge generated from these studies towards the development of technologies of
commercial significance. The M.Sc. (Biotechnology) course of the Department is being funded by the
Department of Biotechnology, Government of India. B.Tech. (Biotechnology) course has been started in
2005. A wide range of sophisticated equipment related to biotechnology has been made operational at IIC
as well as at departmental building involving the multidisciplinary faculty of the center.
