Biotechnology is the use of biology to develop new products, methods, and organisms intended to improve humans and society. The modern practices of biotechnology draw from multiple sciences and technology which include basic sciences like Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, and Genetics and advanced sciences like Molecular biology , Genomics, Bioinformatics, Nanotechnology, Genetic engineering, Fermentation technology

            Department of Biotechnology made a self-supportive beginning in the year 2006 as Biotechnology (Entire) . Recently in this year 2023 M.Sc. Biotechnology course is also begun. Vivekanand College is the only college with these all courses together on one campus.
