About the Department of Genetic Engineering

The Department was started 13 years back with B.Tech program in Genetic Engineering. It is the only place in India offering Genetic Engineering courses in B.Tech, M.Tech, Integrated PhD and PhD. Teaching both the basics and advanced subjects in genetic engineering through rigorous laboratory experiment is unique to this department. Advanced subjects include recombinant DNA technology, genomics, cytogenetics, gene therapy, stem cell biology, genetic counselling, etc. We have exceptionally talented faculty with PhD and post-doctoral experience from varied fields such as Plant Genetics, Human Genetics, Genomics, Microbial Genetics, Stem Cell Biology, Molecular Medicine, Cancer Biology, and Neuroscience. We have Genomics lab, Molecular genetics Lab, Genetic Engineering lab, Genetics Lab, Bioseparation Lab, Sponsored Research Labs, and Radioactive Lab for teaching and research purposes.  We have 500 students currently pursuing their UG & PG courses in our department. Around 200 students have opted for semester abroad program and they carried out their research project with renowned researchers around the world.
