School of Agricultural Biotechnology

Punjab Agricultural University

School of Agricultural Biotechnology offered four year B.tech (Biotechnology) programme at PAU, Ludhiana. The eligibility to get admission in B.tech (Biotech) is 10+2(Mathamatics/Biology) with at least 50% aggregate marks through CET Entrance Examination. The exam will be conducted every year in the month of June-July. The total number of seat allocated is 60 in this programme.

B.tech (Biotechnology) course work is designed in such a way to get maximum exposure on the recent technology and techniques applied in the area of agriculture to build a base level in the field. The courses studied duing the programme will help the students to get enrolled for higher degree programme in India as well as Abroad.
