H.P.T.Arts and R.Y.K.Science College is a public-private institute, founded in 1924. This page brings together what is on record for this course at H.P.T.Arts and R.Y.K.Science College — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most B.Sc 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 H.P.T.Arts and R.Y.K.Science College for the current semester-wise plan.
