Biotechnology uses biology in engineering, technology, medicine and other industries that require bio-products. It involves processes like cloning, stem cell research and genetically modified crops. Some key areas of biotechnology include biochemistry, molecular biology, microbiology, immunology, and recombinant DNA technology. Popular courses include B.Sc./B.Tech in biotechnology, M.Sc. in biotechnology, agricultural biotechnology, veterinary biotechnology and biomedical sciences. Top institutions offering these courses are JNU, IISc Bangalore, AIIMS, IITs, BHU, University of Delhi, NCBS Bangalore and TIFR Mumbai.
