Reviewing my experience at Thapar University as a BTech Biotechnology student.

I want to work in cosmetic formulation hence biotechnology was the natural choice. Subjects like biochemistry and microbiology interested me in choosing this course. I think it prepares us really well for real-world applications and further academic pursuits as it has a balance of theoretical and hands-on activities. Some subjects like c programming should be there for more than one semester as they require deeper exploration. There are two major exams in one semester. A mid-semester exam and and end-semester exam. Other than that we have sessionals before our MSTs and ESTs and Lab evaluations before ESTs for the subjects that have lab requirements like applied chemistry, physics, biochemistry etc.
