About the Programme

M. Tech (Biotech) Animal Biotechnology is a two-year post-graduate programme that combines both biological sciences and engineering with relevant lab sessions to offer students in-depth knowledge of the subject. The purpose of the proposed programme is to make the aspirants learn biotechnology-oriented basic and applied research programmes for improving animal productivity.

The programme intends to help the students develop innovative dairy processes for producing superior quality, safe and wholesome dairy products. Under this programme, students will also learn the animal reproductive processes to develop methods for improved animal health and regulated production. In addition, they will be exposed to monitor animal nutritional plans and feed combinations.

Upon successful completion of the programme, students can pursue higher studies like PhD in Animal Biotechnology. They can also opt for UGC-NET or apply for jobs in Government Research Centres, Private Institutions or NGOs.

This course is for individuals who...

have an inquisitive mind and will-power to gain an exceptional amount of knowledge. It is for candidates who are compassionate towards animals.

Students who are looking for...

pursuing a career in Biotechnology frontline areas of Animal Cell and Biotechnology must opt for this programme.
