B.Sc. (Biotechnology – Zoology)

Program Description

Offered by the School of Life Sciences, Rungta International Skills University

The Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Biotechnology and Zoology is a dynamic and interdisciplinary undergraduate program that seamlessly integrates the cutting-edge field of biotechnology with the critical scientific study of animals. This program is ideal for students who are deeply passionate about animal biology and genetics, as well as harnessing modern biotechnological tools to tackle pressing real-world challenges in healthcare, agriculture, environmental sustainability, and industry.

Our curriculum provides a robust foundation in essential biological sciences while immersing students in advanced topics, including cell biology, molecular genetics, animal physiology, and key biotech techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), tissue culture, and DNA analysis. Students gain a profound understanding of life processes, spanning from the cellular level to entire ecosystems, with a strong focus on innovation, sustainability, and real-world application.

With access to state-of-the-art laboratories, comprehensive hands-on practical training, and the chance to engage in impactful research projects, fieldwork, and internships, students are well-prepared to develop the essential skills and expertise needed for successful careers in biotechnology firms, research institutions, wildlife conservation, pharmaceuticals, or to pursue advanced studies in life sciences. This program not only equips students with knowledge but also empowers them to make a significant difference in the world.
