About University School of Biotechnology, GGSIPU
University School of Biotechnology (USB), established in 2001, is one of the earliest and most prominent constituent schools of GGSIPU dedicated to life sciences and biotechnology engineering. Located at GGSIPU's main campus, Sector 16C, Dwarka, New Delhi, USB offers B.Tech (Biotechnology) and B.Tech/M.Tech (Dual Degree Biotechnology) programs, along with M.Tech, PhD, and research programs in Biotechnology. USB is unique within GGSIPU in that B.Tech Biotechnology admission is NOT through JEE Main — it is conducted through IPU CET (Code 130/131) or CUET, a biology-based entrance test comprising Biology/Biotechnology, Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics. USB has approximately 30 B.Tech Biotechnology seats through centralized GGSIPU counselling. Key faculty includes Dr. K.K. Aggarwal and Dr. Meenu Kapoor in the Department of Biotechnology. The school focuses on molecular biology, genetic engineering, bioinformatics, pharmaceutical biotechnology, environmental biotechnology, fermentation technology, and industrial bioprocesses. PhD Biotechnology has a total fee of Rs. 1.58 lakhs for 3 years, making it extremely affordable. USB graduates work in pharma, biotech startups, hospitals, research labs, and government agencies. Many pursue M.Tech at IITs or Indian Institute of Advanced Research (IIAR).
