Programs offered
USBT began with a five and half year integrated course of BTech/MTech with eleven semesters and PhD program. But from the academic session 2004-2005 onwards, the MTech program has been delinked from the BTech program and the two program are being offered under dual degree program – BTech/MTech dual degree course and separate MTech program in different fields of biotechnology. As with other major institutes of India, the merit-based All India Common Entrance Test of GGSIPU entranced exam is used for admissions to USBT. Students that have taken courses in physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, or biotechnology during senior school are eligible for the entrance exam. An overwhelming demand for biotechnology professionals led to an increase in seats from 30 to 45 in the academic session of 2006-2007 and further in 2009-2010. In the academic session of 2021-2022, seats were further increased from 45 to 53.
