VIT and SRM both are good universities. I don't know much about these two universities but as LPU alumni, I would recommend LPU. If you are looking for the best university for B.Sc. In the biotechnology course, I would say Lovely professional University is the best university. The curriculum has been designed in such a way that it makes it easier for the students to prepare themselves for giant exams like CSIR NET ICMR, ICAR, and GATE. With an experienced faculty of 30+ in the department who are ready to help the students round the clock, seven days a week, this institute is one of the best options for the young population to opt for biotechnology. In addition to core curricula, the course offers subjects like communication and soft skills to enhance personality and employability. She said, specializations may be offered in Dairy Technology Fermentation Technology, or Molecular Biotechnology (subject to the minimum number of students and feasibility) The course offers specializations in Dairy Technology, Fermentation Technology, and Bioinformatics. The curriculum offers a prime focus on fundamental and applied aspects of biotechnology. Students can get a foreign degree through international collaborations (2 years in India and 2 years abroad or 2 years in India and 1 year abroad).
