The School of Bio and Chemical Engineering is committed to provide the students with a wide range of opportunities in the modern world. The School of Bio and Chemical Engineering comprises of Biotechnology, Biomedical Engineering, Bioinformatics and ology, Biomedical Engineering, Bioinformatics and Chemical Engineering departments. The various undergraduate programs offered by the school include B.Tech. in Biotechnology, B.Tech. in Biomedical Engineering, B.Tech. in Chemical Engineering, B.Sc. Biotechnology, B.Sc. Microbiology, B.Sc. Biochemistry and B.Sc. Data Science and Bioinformatics. To promote higher education, the following postgraduate programs are also offered by the school; M.Tech. in Biotechnology, M.Tech. in Medical Instrumentation and M.Sc. in Data Science and Bioinformatics. The school fosters Ph.D. in bioengineering, Chemical Engineering and life sciences. The departments are equipped with state-of-the-art technology to empower the students compete in the global arena. The school aims to inculcate the students with value education and ample practical skills. The strength of the departments lies in the academic laboratories with adequate instrumentation to impart practical technical skills to the students. A wide range of laboratories including the basic Biochemistry laboratory to the advanced Molecular Biology laboratory reinforces theoretical knowledge. The Chemical engineering laboratories comprising of Environmental Engineering laboratory, Mass transfer laboratory, Fluid mechanics laboratory and Chemical reaction engineering laboratory aids in practical learning. The Biosciences laboratory along with the Electronic devices laboratory and Biotherapeutic laboratory ensures effective learning of Biomedical concepts. A biocomputing laboratory satisfies the need for computer-enhanced technical knowledge transfer. The faculty members publish research papers in impactful journals in synergy with research centres. A central research facility - CBiRD (Centre for Bioresource Research and Development) is a place for promoting research amongst the faculty and students. The School has entered an MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) with various industries wherein collaborative research and training for students in real-time under industry conditions are provided. A steady placement record of the school, above 90% every year, provides a direction for the aspiring graduates. The study abroad programme ensures a launchpad for the students who would want to pursue higher studies abroad. In coordination with the Technology Business Incubator cell of Sathyabama, young entrepreneurs are nurtured leading to startups. By promoting extracurricular activities (NSS, NCC, YRC and other student development cell activities) the school ensures all-round development in the students.
