About the Department:
Biotechnology has emerged as one of the leading fields in Biological Sciences. Most of the industries like pharmaceuticals, brewery, food and allied industries relay upon Biotechnology Post Graduation qualified candidates. Under Davangere University jurisdiction under-graduate program is already in existence to provide B.Sc. with Biotechnology as one of the combinations. In view of providing an opportunity to these Biotechnology and other biological science degree qualified students and to cater the need for industry/research, the University administration has introduced M.Sc. Biotechnology program in the year 2017-18. It is revised in the year 2020-21. The syllabus has been framed in accordance with the modern trends with industrial relevance, research orientation and the curriculum requirement. It is fully CBCS program involving four semesters and qualified, competent, enthusiastic faculty members are working hard and teaching cutting edge technologies and training the students.
