Biotechnology is an applied Science which offers an amalgamation of Technology with the Biological sciences like Microbiology, Biochemistry, Genetics, Molecular Biology, Immunology, Cell Biology and Cytogenetics. The scope of Biotechnology is wide and it’s applications are diverse and multidisciplinary. Along with conventional (and indispensible) techniques like fermentation, it also encompasses modern subjects like Bioinformatics, Proteomics, Genomics, Animal Tissue culture, Plant Tissue culture, Nanobiotechnology, Gene Therapy, Genetic Counseling, Developmental biology, Neurobiology, Endocrinology, Genetic Engineering to name a few.

Biotechnology has great impact on all domains of human life. Advancement in the field of Biotechnology has revolutionized many industrial processes and research approach. It has great impact on latest trends in research and development in Health sector, Pharmaceuticals, Diagnostics, Food Technology, Agricultural trends, Environmental conservation. In general, Biotechnology has largely contributed towards improvement of Quality of human life.
