COURSE DETAILS
   Introduction - B.Tech (Biotechnology)
  Biotechnology uses living cells and materials produced by cells to create pharmaceutical, diagnostic, agricultural and environmental and other products to benefit society. The science of biotechnology is also used to alter genetic information in animals and plants to improve them in some way that benefits people because biotechnology essentially uses the basic ingredients of life to make new products, it is both a cutting-edge technology and an applied science. Analysts have predicted that biotechnology will be one of the most important applied sciences of the 21st century.
