TNU's M.Sc. in Biotechnology is a discipline that involves the application of living organisms and bioprocesses in technology, engineering, medicine, and other fields that require bioproducts. The curriculum will be developed by academic experts and will provide research and practical instruction in labs that are well-equipped to give students real-world working experiences. The purpose of such fundamental research is to improve the knowledge base of scientists. As the world population increases, Biotechnologists are sought out by scientists to find solutions to various issues, including adequate nutrition as well as infant mortality and sustainable farming.

Career Prospects

Biotechnology is a business that is product-based and is not a service-based industry. Biotechnologists will work with DNA tissue and bacteria, viruses, as well as complex proteins. In a specialization or expertise, one can work for a biotechnologist working in medical settings: agricultural biotechnologist, pharmaceutical biotechnologist, food biotechnologist—industrial biotechnologist, or environmental.

Biotechnologist  Biotechnology is the fastest-growing segment in India. It is valued at around $11 billion right now and is expected to reach the $100 billion level by 2025, according to the Association of Biotechnology Led Enterprises (ABLE) projections. In addition, the biotech sector is predicted to grow at 30% per year (according to the Make in India website). Since the current pandemic is causing the most significant impact on people's lives across the globe, the significance of learning about Biotechnology and the opportunities for employment in this area is continuously expanding. It is the most appropriate option for students.
