The School of Biotechnology is located in a state of the art building which incorporates both teaching and research facilities. Biotechnology combines disciplines like genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, microbiology, immunology and cell biology, which are in turn linked to practical disciplines like chemical engineering, information technology, and biorobotics.

The School of Biotechnology emphasizes on Biotechnology education programme with an impetus to generate a workforce that could turn into a substantially trained pool to meet the country's demands. The school is dedicated to provide quality service through teamwork, partnerships, and developing team and individual strengths. Patenting of innovations, technology transfer to industries and close interaction with them have given a new direction to Biotechnology research in the world today. The School is an active centre of basic and applied research and aims to achieve a balance of pure basic, strategic basic, applied and experimental development research.
