ICTP Biotechnology

The Department offers B. Tech Biotechnology program, which is designed to equip students with a strong foundation in biological sciences, along with an understanding of various engineering principles. Our department boasts of well-qualified and experienced faculty members, as well as visiting professors from national and international institutes, who provide students with holistic academic training and experiential learning. The International Credit Transfer Program (ICTP) offered by the Department of Biotechnology provides students with a unique opportunity to pursue a part of their academic curriculum at internationally recognized partner universities.

This program is designed to foster global exposure, cultural exchange, and academic collaboration, allowing students to broaden their educational experience beyond national borders. Through ICTP, students can complete one or more semesters abroad, with the credits earned during this period transferred back and counted toward their degree requirements at the parent university.

The curriculum under ICTP is thoughtfully mapped to ensure academic alignment between the home and host institutions. Students benefit from global teaching methodologies, cutting-edge laboratory infrastructure, and a diverse academic environment. These experiences strengthen their knowledge in core areas of biotechnology, promote research aptitude, and nurture innovation in fields like molecular biology, genetics, bioprocessing, and bioinformatics. Eligibility is typically based on academic performance and language proficiency.

Participating in ICTP significantly enhances a student’s academic and professional profile. It fosters adaptability, scientific curiosity, global awareness, and effective communication—skills highly valued in biotechnology sectors such as pharmaceuticals, healthcare, agriculture, environmental science, and research and development. The program also opens doors to international internships, collaborative projects, and postgraduate opportunities. Overall, ICTP is a transformative platform that prepares Biotechnology students to thrive in a globally competitive and research-driven environment.
