Alumni:

So far seven batches of students (200 students) have left the portals of the Department with flying colours. As on today there are no backlogs and readmissions. Our alumni are placed in different institutes, laboratories and universities, both in India and abroad. They are doing research in USA, Germany, Australia, UK, Taiwan etc. They have achieved good score in TOEFL & GRE exams. This is possible because our students undergo summer training in Biotech companies like Shantha Biotech, Bharath Biotech, Reddys Lab, Indian Immunologicals, Biological Evans, Sri Biotech and in companies under Biotechnology Consortium India Limited (BCIL) of the DBT, New Delhi. Most of the students are employed in R & D centers, Biotechnology Industry and in Academic Institutions.
