Programme Overview
Khaja Bandanawaz University offers B.Sc. and M.Sc. Biotechnology courses with advanced facilities. The international-standard course structure has been developed in consultation with clinical, agricultural and industrial experts to provide cutting-edge knowledge and practical skills for a career in molecular biosciences.
Students gain extensive subject knowledge and research experience through research-based teaching in well-established biotechnology laboratories, hands-on training in Bioinformatics, internships in industry or medical institutions, and a full-semester research project under the mentorship of highly qualified faculty recruited from reputed universities across the country.
The programme follows a Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), allowing students to opt for courses of their choice from the pool of Biotechnology courses. The University is a pioneer in introducing international patterns of examination — Library Based, Take Home and Seminar Based Examinations — alongside traditional written exams, enhancing quality of learning and research-oriented thinking with reduced examination stress. The aim is to develop a sustainable pipeline of biotechnology professionals across fundamental science, technology development and translational research.
