NU is all about fresh perspectives. So is our website.
Have you ever asked yourself how we transitioned from microscopes to gene editing, lab-grown meat, and disease curing through nanobots? Welcome to the extraordinary world of biotechnology engineering, where science and imagination converge, and innovation and impact intersect.
If you’re someone who’s as captivated by DNA strands as by drone tech, petri dishes as by coding, then you’ve just landed up at the right course, and yes, it’s BTech biotechnology.
Biotechnology engineering is the technology Marvel Universe—a powerful amalgamation of biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, and data science. It’s where you learn to play with cells, read genetic codes, manufacture biomaterials, and even cultivate human organs in a lab.
Whether it’s producing clean fuel, creating anti-cancer medications, or creating climate-resilient crops, biotechnology bestows superpowers that the world so desperately requires.
“Be the one who scripts life in a world dominated by coders and engineers.”
Most students think that there is no point in pursuing biotechnology after class 12. To know the answer, first let’s debunk a myth immediately—biotech is not lab coats and test tubes. At NIIT University, it’s more of an adrenaline-packed adventure with experiments, real-world problems, cutting-edge technology, and learning with meaning.
As the world is shifting towards clean energy, sustainable farming, and cutting-edge medicine, biotech graduates are in greater demand than ever before. Disciplines such as synthetic biology, CRISPR, 3D bioprinting, and genomics are opening up new avenues day by day. Be it food tech to pharma to green tech—biotech graduates are writing the future.
“Biotechnology is not a subject—it’s a revolution under a microscope.”
Let’s be honest—We, the generation of the Modern and advanced Era, don’t love boring blackboard lectures. That’s why at NIIT University, the BTech Biotechnology program is designed for doers, thinkers, and makers. You’ll learn to do, by fail, by explore, and by finally create.
The courseware comprises cutting-edge subjects like Molecular Biology, Genetic Engineering, Bioinformatics, Microbiology, Bioprocess Engineering, Environmental Biotechnology, AI in Life Sciences, and Human Physiology.
You’ll also get to conduct live research projects, gain proficiency in high-tech labs, learn from researchers, and take part in global forums, innovation camps, and conferences.
“Failure is not an option. “In our labs, failure is just the first step to discovery.”
To enrol in the BTech Biotechnology at NIIT University, students must have secured 55% aggregate in Class 10 and Class 12, with the core subjects being Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Maths, and English.
Candidates should also have valid scores from entrance exams such as JEE, CUET, BITSAT, SAT, or any relevant state-level engineering exam.
When you study at NIIT University, you don’t get a degree—you create the potential to change the world. The curriculum at the university is structured in partnership with industry leaders such as Biocon and other R&D firms to make sure that what you learn is precisely what industry requires.
Situated in the lap of the Aravalli Hills, NU’s green, technology-facilitated campus is a hotbed of innovation. Learning is enriched, personalised, and deeply participative with world-class researchers and scientists as mentor guides.
NU also fills your campus life with internships, one-on-one mentoring, and exposure to real-world industry through its Capstone Project and Industry Practice modules.
“NU doesn’t prepare you for the future. It lets you build it.”
The possibilities are endless after biotech. From medicines to farms, pharma to climate change solutions—biotech minds are needed everywhere. You can be a Biomedical Scientist, Clinical Researcher, Plant Biotechnologist, Genetic Engineer, Biochemist, or Bioinformatics Specialist.
You’ll discover careers in hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, pharma, research institutes, food safety facilities, and even environmental protection businesses. Want to be a bio-startup entrepreneur? NU provides the education, training, and confidence you need to do it.
“Biotech doesn’t tie you down to labs—it sets you loose in the world.”
Some gold nuggets that you will learn along the way are:
•Begin early reading journals—Nature Biotech, PubMed, and Elsevier become your BFFs.
•Become a coder—Python, R, or MATLAB will do wonders for your research.
• Get your online game going— GitHub and a cool portfolio go a long, long way.
•Don’t be afraid of internships and research projects—take every opportunity NU offers to you.
•Ask fearless, quirky questions—that is where real innovation begins.
If unwrapping the human genome, fixing the world’s problems, or making science hip and cool is your thing, then biotechnology is your vocation. And acquiring it the correct way is at NIIT University.
NU provides you with context, direction, tools, and trust to move beyond the book. Here, you’re not only learning for the future—you’re constructing it, gene by gene, cell by cell, and discovery by discovery.
