In order to create a Center of Excellence in West Bengal for Education and Research in Genetics and Biotechnology, the department of Genetics, Microbiology, and Biotechnology was founded in 2003. In 2003, it began with UG courses (B. Sc. Hons) in Biotechnology and Microbiology, which were connected with the University of Kalyani. In 2004, Genetics and Molecular Biology were introduced under the same university.
In addition to the UG courses mentioned above, this Institute added a PG course in genetic engineering when it merged with Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology, West Bengal, formerly known as WBUT, in the year 2006.
Ten batches of graduates with exceptional grades have enrolled in or been placed in postgraduate programmes at numerous universities in India and abroad (see www.ige-india.com) In nearby universities like WBUT, University of Kalyani, and Pune University, several of our students have achieved rankings.
