About The Department
Established in 2001, the Department of Biotechnology at Prathyusha Engineering College began enrolling B.Tech., students in 2002 and M. Tech., students in 2019. It launched Research Programs (M.S. by Research and Ph.D.) in 2024. The department was approved by AICTE (732-52-394, EYET/2001 dated: 30.08.2001) and permanently affiliated to Anna University (Lr.No:467/CAI/Permanent Affln./2014-15 dt.18.11.14) and accredited with National Board of Accreditation (NBA), New Delhi till 2026. In response to the evolving landscape of innovative technology and advances in science and medicine, the biotechnology program is designed to prepare students for successful careers in the field. To achieve this, the curriculum encompasses a range of subjects in science and engineering. The department emphasizes interdisciplinary, lab-based learning, strong industry-institute collaboration, internships, and research activities, all aligned with its Undergraduate and Postgraduate programs.
The department features state-of-the-art laboratories and modern facilities, including an Animal House approved by Committee for Control and Supervision of Experiments on Animals (CCSEA), Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India, which supports both academic and research initiatives. Faculty members, experts from various Biotechnology specializations, are committed to academic excellence and innovation. They demonstrate unwavering dedication by engaging in continuous professional development through faculty training programs and national symposiums. Research findings from the department are regularly published in peer-reviewed SCI journals, amassing over 1,500 citations. Additionally, the department has secured substantial funding from esteemed government agencies such as AICTE, DBT, and TNSCST, further enhancing its research capabilities and contributions to the field of Biotechnology.
