FAQ's
Why should I join Bioengineering course?
  • It is the era of biology joinging hands with technology.All the major applications,inventions,bigdata,exciting advancements will be in relation to Human health.
  • Healthcare sector will be booming with a number of medical devices based on smart sensors and IoT flooding the market.
  • A unique course that offers you an opportunity to study interdisciplinary subjects across various fields and gain an integrated balanced overview to prepare you for the industry.
  • You will be trained as an engineer with a working knowledge of biology to deal with and understand the terms used in biology and medicine.
Should I choose B.Tech. or integrated M.Tech.?
  • Both offer same opportunities and the coursework is similarly crafted minor differences lie in the duration of the project work
  • M.Tech: Saves you one year and one can directly appear for PhD courses or join a company. MTechhas a 1 year project.*
  • B.Tech: If you want to pursue a MS degree in foreign university. Btech has a 6 months project.
  • *Admission to MTechcourse required a higher merit in 12thand good CET score.
What are the job prospects?
  • Very good.The specializations (bioinformatics,biomedical and biotechnology)open up vast avenues in related industries as well as IT and healthcare sectors,speciality hospitals etc.

Common profiles include:

  • Data scientists: highly paid in IT industry, cloud computing, hadoop, map reduce, R, python.
  • Pharma: drug design, molecular modelling, materials
  • Biomedical: Hospitals, clinics, devices, bionic hand, artificial organs, instrumentation, imaging, artificial intelligence.
  • Biotechnology: nanomedicine, vaccine design

*Already a number of companies in these sectors have been visited(Persistent, Praj, GennovaBiotech) and the MOU process will begin for future tie-ups and collaboration

What if I don’t have either Biology or Maths background ?

Only the basic principles of biology and engineering along with sufficient levels of mathematics and statistics will be taught in the first year.

  • A team of dedicated faculty will provide tutorials and remedial courses should you lag behind in any subject.
  • The course curriculum framework has been designed in consultation with industry match your training with the industry requirements.Industry is ready to accept you as a trainee and absorb in the near future based on performance.
  • You will have the freedom to choose the elective in the fifth/sixth semester after understanding your interests and aptitude.
What are the specializations available?

Three
Our professors will work with you closely so that by the time you are in third year you will gain clarity on which specialization you are inclined for

  • Biotechnology:If lab experiments interest you,using microorganism to do tasks–making medicine,vaccines,detoxifying environment,making better crops.
  • Bioinformatics:If you develop more inclination towards IT,handling big data,computing,modeling,new algorithm development.
  • Biomedical:If you develop interest in imaging,building bionic hand,rehabilitation engineering in hospitals, developing smart sensor based device, intelligent,robotics,instrumentation,biomaterials.

How is it different from other similar courses?
  • The biggest difference is that our course makes you industry ready and ready for future –you will graduate to be a well rounded bioengineer who will be strong in bioengineering fundamentals & concepts, understand industry lingo and will be able to confidently perform at an industry job or academic/research institute
  • We offer some unique advanced courses such as robotics, tissue engineering, molecular engineering, bioelectronicsmake it interesting for you.
  • Importantly the approach is different, more emphasis on practicalsthan theory, inculcate entrepreneurial skills, role plays, communication skills, importance of financial planning, time value of money etc.
How is it different from other similar courses?
  • Project based learning, problem solving skills, encouragement for inhouseas well as external projects in collaboration with industries and premier research labs.
  • Even undergraduate student encouraged to publish research papers with faculty in IEEE journals or file patents to enhance their employability.
  • Apart from assistance in placement, recommending for higher education, a corporate culture to enable start up vision among students. Idea to market
What about faculty and infrastructure?

Faculty:Recruited from premier institutes; Pune University, NCL
