Biology is currently experiencing a golden age of research-driven discovery and the undergraduate curriculum (B. Tech) of the BSBE aims to expose students to exciting new fields of knowledge while also providing opportunities for obtaining valuable hands-on research experience. The program provides a unique fusion of biology with other basic and engineering sciences. Undergraduate students compete for scholarships and R&D internship in Biotech/Biopharma industries under the auspices of endowment funds established by IITK alumni. Admission to the B. Tech program is through the joint entrance examination (JEE) conducted by the IITs.
BSBE offers to its undergraduate (UG) students five different options:
B. Tech in BSBE (4 year program)
B. Tech double major in BSBE (5 year program for students of other UG streams)
B. Tech-M. Tech dual-degree in BSBE (5 year program for students admitted to B. Tech in BSBE)
Dual-degree with M. Tech in BSBE (5 year program for students of other UG streams)
