The pursuit of M.Tech. in Biotechnology is strongly supported across India's premier institutions!

While the exact number of IITs offering M.Tech. in Biotechnology specifically changes as programs evolve (some offer Biomedical or Biochemical engineering instead), many top-tier IITs and NITs feature related postgraduate programs. The most prominent ones that have historically offered or offer related master's programs include:

  • IIT Bombay

  • IIT Guwahati

  • IIT Kharagpur

  • IIT Roorkee

  • IIT Delhi (often under Biochemical Engineering)

  • NIT Surathkal (often under Chemical/Biotechnology)
