Co-Curricular Activities

The Department of Biotechnology of Rathinam college of arts and science is an active scientific group and the activities of the department are planned and executed by the students with the guidance and support of the staff members. The department regularly organizes special lectures by eminent scientists and industrialists from India and abroad. Many seminars, symposia, conferences, and workshops are regularly organized in the department to expose the students to the latest developments in the subject area. The students are also taken to leading industries and laboratories on field trips and study tours. Webinars with Eminent scientists from abroad as the speaker are conducted regularly in our Department. This also expands the exposure level of our students and allows them to know the kind of research in laboratories abroad.
