Before talking about the placements, let us know a bit about the branch as it is not a popular choice in engineering. Established in 2001, the relatively new Department of Biological Sciences and Bioengineering (BSBE) strives to implement a multidisciplinary research and teaching program in modern biology and bioengineering. The department allows undergraduate (B.Tech) and postgraduate programs (M.Tech and Ph.D.). The branch is new whereas there are branches which are about 100 years old. But we are going into future not past. It is a thriving choice for engineering. It is just growing. The pay scale is not at par with other core jobs but it is satisfactory. There are other things other than money. 71% students get placed every year, making an average of 5 LPA package in core bio-engineering jobs. There are always other options for the participant. Gilead Sciences, Inc. (GILD), Amgen (AMGN), Celgene Corporation (CELG) and other pharmaceutical recruiters visit the campus for placements.
