ABOUT
Biotechnology is a fascinating branch of science that has the potential to modify almost every aspect of human life. It has created unprecedented opportunities by manipulating biological systems for the benefit of mankind. Biotechnology in the last two decades has gained much popularity in the study of applied science. To impart quality education in Biotechnology, GC Bilaspur started this course in 2010 and has been running the same successfully for the last thirteen years with a total strength of 30 students every year. The college is committed to the all-round development of its students and thus providing well-qualified and experienced faculty, well-equipped laboratories, a well-stocked library with INFLIBNET, and a peaceful ambiance to its students.
VISION
“Instill ideas in the emerging youth of the biotechnology era and cultivate the human resource for national and international needs."
