It certainly is a very good option for B.Tech in Biotechnology! From best-in-class academics to best-in-class placements. At LPU, Learners are trained to extract information from the best-published articles and thus create their own hypotheses on real-world scientific issues. Thanks to the innovative teaching methodology followed at LPU that the students learn much more than what given in the books. There are multiple guests and industrial visits lectures from time to time, helping the students in all the best possible ways. LPU also lays proper emphasis on research and entrepreneurship. At LPU they believe in learning by doing. At LPU they harness the entrepreneur in you by doing on-field projects. Bee-keeping is just one of the examples of on-field projects. Talking about the placements here, they are remarkable as well. Ranking in International Conference and internship in Taiwan are just some of the achievements of students at LPU.
