Profile

Message

The College of Biotechnology was started during 2004 in University. College was formally inaugurated during April 25, 2005. It was established after realizing the importance of lack of trained manpower in the different areas of Biotechnology in the country. The establishment of College of Biotechnology is first of its kind in the country and reflects vision to set a revolutionary pace with the advancement of technology in the area of Biotechnology.

The main goal of College is Human Resource Development to produce highly skilled and qualified Graduates and Postgraduates in the area of Biotechnology. Researches on various biotechnological approaches like Recombinant DNA Technology, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Microbiology and Bio-fertilizer, Tissue culture, Genetic Engineering, Bioinformatics etc. Students and Researchers are trained and exposed to recent developments in Biotechnology. Presently the college of Biotechnology is functioning with three Divisions (Plant Biotechnology, Molecular and Environmental and Animal Biotechnology) one Section (Bioinformatics) covering different areas of Biotechnology.

About The College

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology established on 2nd October 2000 has the honour of being “First Agriculture University of the 21st century”. It is a professional University providing education, research and extension activities in integrated manner. The College of Biotechnology was established in the year 2004. College is running four year B.Tech. (Biotechnology) degree programme since 2004. M.Tech./M.Sc. and Ph.D. degree programmes were started from 2007 and 2021 respectively in Biotechnology. This college was initially established with 8 departments, which have been reoriented into three divisions and one section (Plant Biotechnology, Animal Biotechnology, Environmental and Microbial Biotechnology and Bioinformatics Section) as per the ICAR guidelines. All the divisions have UG and PG laboratory facilities for effective teaching along with a central facility with latest instrumentation to strengthen PG research.

This college fosters national and international linkages for capacity building to enhance performance and visibility of the college by imparting an appropriate blend of knowledge, skill and attitude to the students. In order to provide industry specific focused vocational training to youth a student READY programme as per Vth Deans committee have been initiated to impart skill development for enabling students to become entrepreneur or seek employment in public and private sectors. Post Graduate and PhD students are involved in high quality advanced research that supplements the knowledge generation. The college offers trainings and workshops which improve the skills of students and researchers in the field of Biotechnology.

Peer Review Team of Indian Council of Agriculture Research, New Delhi visited the College during July, 2022 and inspected the Teaching/ Research activities, infrastructure facilities, labs, smart classrooms, auditorium, library, computer facilities etc. College of Biotechnology was approved for Accreditation by ICAR, New Delhi.
