The above mentioned subjects are the main topics which almost every college covered.

best of luck for your future!

Hello aspirant,

I am myself a biotechnology UG student. So it is safe to assume that I have been in your shoes.

The BTech biotechnology syllabus includes general sciences subjects for the 1st and 2nd semesters such as Physics, Chemistry, Electronics, Basic programming in C, Mechanics, etc.

The core or the departmental subjects begin from 2nd year onwards. The subjects included are as follows:

• Microbiology
• Thermodynamics and Kinetics
• Transfer operation
• Biochemistry
• Chemistry of biomolecules
• Bioseparation
• Genetics
• Immunology
• Plant and animal Biotechnology
• Elective subjects such as Bioprocess, Food Biotechnology, etc.
• Nanotechnology
• Bioinformatics
• Industrial Stoichiometry

These are the basic subjects spread across the rest 3 years of your B.Tech degree. The choice of electives vary in different colleges. Hope this helps you.
