Located at the newly purpose built Park Road Campus, DBS is wellpositioned to become an innovative center focused on education, research and industrial applications. BS Biotechnology, BS Microbiology and MS Applied Biosciences programs have been developed in line with the Higher Education Commission guidelines to train the undergraduates and graduates who can be an important component of the academia and industry. In addition to the academic excellence, we focus on grooming and enhancement of the students so that they can serve as responsible citizens of the society.
