The
Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (MBBT) at Kalyani
Mahavidyalaya was established in the year 2004. The main objective of starting
this department was to cater to the ever-increasing academic needs of students
in the broad area of Genetic engineering and Biotechnology. Candidates having
strong foundation of Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics at 10+2 level, who are
extremely keen to explore the area of applied biological sciences, should, opt
for the 4-yr B.Sc. Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (NEP-Major) course in
this department. The department always strives to achieve excellence by maximum
utilization of available resources, identifying lacunae and overcoming
limitations. In this connection, it would be pertinent to mention that the
former students of this department have fared extremely well in various
national and state level examinations. The Department also boasts to be the
home for Toppers in B.Sc. (Hons) examination of Kalyani University consistently
for the past few years.
The MBBT
department offers a very cordial and homely atmosphere allowing ample scope for
continuous dialogue between students and highly qualified, experienced, and
passionate faculty members. The department strives to resolve the academic and
personal concerns of students in the timelymanner, keeping professional ethics
in perspective. It tries to nurture a healthy and strong mind amongst students,
which is free from maladies but well prepared to cope with stress that they
would encounter in the professional world. The Division is in the process of
regularizing scientific visits for students on a yearly basis to expose them to
the frontier areas of scientific and industrial research. Also, everyone
eagerly waits for the annual departmental cultural programme which provides
students with opportunities to display their artistic and musical talents
permeated with scientific insight. It turns out be a splendid show of
performing arts in the most befitting manner possible. In short, all-round
development of mental faculties along with improvement of scientific acumen is
of prime concern to this department.
Vision:
Biotechnology,
as the name suggests is an Interdisciplinary subject, a dynamic, fast growing
and evolving field in science with promising prospects for research-oriented
employment across the globe. Keeping this in perspective, the department aims
to develop trained manpower equipped with appropriate skills and positive
mindset to compete and secure coveted positions in this heavily demanding
Biotechnology job market.
Mission:
Biotechnology
is a frontline area of science having immense potential for the benefit of the
human kind. It spans diverse fields ranging from Agriculture to food
processing, Pharmaceuticals to personalized medicine. As evident, people
trained in Biotechnology have career opportunities in both public and private
sectors. Biotechnology students in India may find work in government-based
entity such as universities, research institutes or at private centers as
research scientists/ teachers or associates. Alternatively, they may seek
employment in specialized biotechnology companies such as pharmaceutical firms,
food manufacturing units, aquaculture and agricultural companies that are
engaged in business related to life sciences ranging from equipment to
chemicals to pharmaceuticals and diagnostics. The scope of work can range from
teaching, research, sales, marketing, administration, quality control, animal
breeding, technical support etc. The Department shall devote wholly to achieve
excellence in the promotion of Biotechnology by:
