Admission in Biotechnology Branch in B.M.S College of Engineering

The department was started in 1995 by the great visionary, Late B S Narayan. Currently, the department runs an undergraduate course in Chemical Engineering with twelve teaching faculty. The department was NBA accredited for the duration of 5 years in the year 2004. Then, for the second time, the department was accredited in the year 2014 for a period of 5 years from NBA, India, in Tier-1 format under Washington Accord. 

The department had applied for a one-year extension of accreditation and was sanctioned with an extension for 1 year with compliance. The autonomous undergraduate course takes its cognizance from the program-specific criteria established in all reputed institutes offering courses in Chemical Engineering.

The well-balanced curriculum includes the titles like Basic Sciences (BS), Engineering Sciences (ES), Professional Core (PC), Professional Electives (PE), Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS), and Project Work (PW).

PG in Biochemical Engineering was run between the academic year 2013-14 to 2020-21.
