Hello Samriddhi Shrivastava, there are many colleges in India in Government sphere, offering BSc in Bio Technology. Almost every state has some fine government colleges. If only you had mentioned the state in which you are interested, could have provided names. At the national level, few names that come to my mind are Institute of Chemical Technology Mumbai, BHU, Anna University etc. This is an emerging field of study with lots of potential for work in research and development. 

Best wishes to you.
