Courses in Biotechnology have been
introduced in India both in Govt
institutions (Either through funding
of Deptt of Biotechnology, Govt of
India or in self-financing mode) and
in private institutions (mostly in
self-financing mode). However,
wherever the schemes are under
self-financing modes, the
infrastructures set up in terms of
laboratories and libraries, is
always more advanced and
qualitatively better in private
institutions. Secondly, these
private institutions usually recruit
specifically trained
Biotechnologists who have carried
out certain original researches in
biotech fields. Therefore, at the
present stage, even in terms of
teaching quality in subjects of
Biotechnology, the front-line
private institutions have an edge
over the Govt institutions.
The laboratories of Trident School
of Biotech Sciences are an example
of above principle. In this
institution, laboratories have been
provided for experiments of General
Biotechnology/Biochemistry,
Molecular Biology, Bioinstrumentation, Microbiology,
Plant Tissue Culture, Bioinformatics
and Chemistry. In a centrally
air-conditioned set up, these
laboratories provide high standard
equipments necessary for teaching of
the university courses. The

labs of TSBS and even the individual
equipments can be viewed by clicking
