Why Study Applied Sciences and Biotechnology?
Applied Sciences and Biotechnology are dynamic fields that combine foundational science with real-world applications. These areas help us understand how living organisms function and how this knowledge can be used to solve practical problems. In this course, you will study cells, DNA, and genes to understand how they operate. You'll also explore how medicines are developed, how crop quality can be improved, and how biotechnology can be used to manage environmental challenges like pollution. This makes the course relevant across multiple sectors, including healthcare, agriculture, and food production. With Biotechnology and Applied Sciences being fast-growing industries, graduates have a wide range of career options. You can work in research labs, hospitals, biotech companies, or government organisations. The course also lays a strong foundation for higher studies, opening paths to research and academic careers. Choosing the best university for Biotechnology in India can give you a significant advantage in building a strong future in this field.

Research
Considered among the best in the country in the BioSpectrum rankings, and recognized as Excellent University for Research in Biotechnology (CCI AND GTU), the Faculty of Applied Sciences and Biotechnology research focuses on bio-molecular engineering, food technology, biosensor technology, harnessing Himalayan medicinal flora for drug discovery to treat cancer, microbial infections and associated anti-microbial resistance (AMR), host-pathogen interactions, biodiversity and omics of extremophiles, cloning and molecular characterization of industrially important proteins and enzymes, bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides.
Our food technology division houses Himachal’s first commercial food testing laboratory with a financial outlay of Rs. 2.85 crore funded by Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MOFPI), Government of India. The faculty has received a DST FIST grant of Rs. 65 lakh for setting up a proteomics facility at the university. The DST along with HPPIC, SCSTE (Shimla) also sponsored an IPR cell at the University.

Support for Research and Learning
In addition, the university has also received a financial assistance of Rs. 73.71 lakh under the Human Resource Development Scheme for creation of Infrastructure Development facilities for B Tech & M Tech Food technology courses by the MOFPI. The project includes financial assistance for the purchase of 26 major machines and equipments related to food processing, canning and dairy processing. The financial grant includes an assistance of Rs. 5 lakh for the purchase of more than 500 book titles in the subject of food technology. The university is also looking forward to producing marketable food, vegetable, bakery and dairy based products tailored by the food processing units at a pilot scale. Further to satisfy the requirements of the biotech industry, our graduates are imparted practical training in plant tissue culture, biotransformation, fermentation, molecular biology, Recombinant DNA Technology, industrial enzymes screening and production, biochemical analysis and standardization of analytical instruments. Graduate and post-graduate students are required to undertake research/ projects.
