Bangalore University, Bangalore, Karnataka, offers B.Voc. in Medical Biotechnology as a 3-year undergraduate degree. The total fee on record is ₹1.85 lakh, which works out to about ₹62,000 a year.

Expect to spend most of your time on cell and molecular biology, genetics, bioprocess engineering and bioinformatics.

Bangalore University is a other institute, founded in 1964. This page brings together what is on record for this course at Bangalore University — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most B.Voc programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations (mathematics, science and programming), the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means cell and molecular biology, genetics, bioprocess engineering and bioinformatics. Typical first jobs: roles in biotech, pharma, food and research labs. Many graduates also go on to a master's degree.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask Bangalore University for the current semester-wise plan.

The fee figures on record for this course are below. Fees are for the whole course unless marked otherwise.

Colleges revise fees most years, and hostel, transport and exam charges are often billed separately. Confirm the current figure with Bangalore University before you pay anything.

To get into B.Voc. in Medical Biotechnology, you usually need Class 12 from a recognised board.

Ask yourself — and the college — these questions first:

• Are you genuinely interested in cell and molecular biology? You will spend 3 years on it.
• Can you manage ₹1.85 lakh over the course, plus hostel and living costs? Ask about scholarships and education loans.
• Are the placement figures above good enough for your goals? Ask for the branch-wise numbers.
• How does Bangalore University compare with other colleges offering B.Voc in and around Bangalore?
