Department of Biotechnology

We’re talking education that will inspire generations

The Department of Biotechnology has grown in leaps and bounds. Since our inception in the year 2005, the department has spawned brilliant chemical engineers, scientists and biotechnologists. And it keeps churning out talent on a regular basis, thanks to the perfect combination of state-of-the-art infrastructure and exceptionally qualified faculty.

Department Vision

The vision of the department is to produce competent Biotechnologists, who can employ premium processes and applications, which will profoundly influence existing paradigm of agriculture, industry, healthcare and restoration of environment providing sustainable competitive edge to present society.

Department Mission

To achieve this vision, the department has formulated its mission to provide Biotechnology educational Program with impetus to generate quality workforce. The department is also committed to create awareness about potentials of Biotechnology with socio-ethical implications. Moreover, the department is very determined to instill spirit of innovation and creativity in young minds with sound research aptitude. Keeping this vision and mission in view, the department always nurtures the students who are effective contributors towards growth of the nation.

Programs offered

B.Tech

The program is designed to suit the needs of the young technology graduates looking to make a mark in a highly competitive market.

Placements

CBIT’s Biotech students, riding on the back of the knowledge and skills acquired during the 4 years spent at the campus, have found placement in a number of big companies. These firms include IT giants like Wipro, Tech Mahindra, CTS and Infosys along with major firms from other sectors, like Biological E. Limited, Deloitte and Dr. Reddy’s.

Out of all the students who passed out in the academic year of 2016-2017, 13 got placed; 4 in companies like UBER and BYJU’S.
