Biotechnology is a field of engineering which incorporates the principles of Bioprocess Engineering, Biology, Chemistry and Computational analysis. This Biotechnology Course can be defined as applications of life sciences to manufacturing, chemical synthesis and design of fermentation processes. Programmes Offered: B.E. in Biotechnology M.Tech. in Biochemical Engineering

M.Tech. in Industrial Biotechnology Ph.D. Biotechnology Ph.D. Biochemical Engineering The undergraduate Program in Biotechnology (B.Tech.) in MIT was started in the academic year 2005-06. The course objective is to mould students with a technical base for employment in the diverse areas of Biotechnology, where the industry based arena is expanding rapidly. This course has been designed to provide the students with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in biochemical engineering, molecular biology, enzymology, bioinformatics etc. to keep pace with latest developments and to cater to the needs of industrial biotechnology sector. This professional course opens up avenues for its graduates to promote entrepreneurship as well as careers in biotechnology related industries. B.E Biotechnology department: The B.E Biotechnology department offers a total of eleven laboratories from the 3rd to 7th semester, with 30% weight age to science, 30% to computers and 40% to Bio-processing technology. Students gain hands-on experience in all these three areas, which is unique to the Biotechnology programme at M.I.T., Manipal. In this programme, while constancy on essential areas of biology and engineering curriculum is maintained, considerable flexibility is built in through the electives offered in the study. The students are encouraged to select areas that fit his/ her aptitude and interest, so that they are allowed to specialize in the area of choice as follows: genetic engineering, process development, computer application in bioprocess, design and development of materials and equipments in bioprocess.
