UPES School of Health Sciences and Technology is a private institute, founded in 2003. This page brings together what is on record for this course at UPES School of Health Sciences and Technology — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most B.Tech 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 UPES School of Health Sciences and Technology for the current semester-wise plan.

This is what the course costs, as recorded. Fees are for the whole course unless marked otherwise, and apply to B.Tech programmes at UPES School of Health Sciences and Technology as a group.
