About the Department

Krishna Institute of Allied Sciences was established in 2007 under Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences “Deemed to be University,” Karad. The institute currently offers M.Sc. Biotechnology, M.Sc. Microbiology, M.Sc. Pharmaceutical Microbiology, M.Sc. Environmental Science, B.Sc. Microbiology, B.Sc. Biotechnology, PG Diploma programs (Fermentation Technology, Food Processing & Preservation Technology), and Ph.D. programs.
With an emphasis on modern, developing, and applied aspects of Life Sciences, the institute follows a strong multidisciplinary approach. This helps shape student careers in accordance with regional and national needs while aligning with the guidelines of NEP-2020. A Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) has been introduced across all programs, ensuring students are exposed to a broader range of courses.
The institute provides a highly conducive learning environment that supports excellent placements in research and academic institutions. It also has several MoUs with academic bodies and industries, promoting collaborative activities and strengthening research and training opportunities.

Our Vision

  • To develop advanced postgraduate departments in Biotechnology, Microbiology, Pharmaceutical Microbiology, and Environmental Science.
  • To establish the department as a recognized Research Centre for Biotechnology, Microbiology, Pharmaceutical Microbiology, and Environmental Science.
  • To build strong industry collaborations for enhanced student placement opportunities.
  • To align all programs and courses with the NEP-2020 framework.

Our Mission

To prepare competent, skilled, and dynamic Biotechnologists, Microbiologists, Pharmaceutical Microbiologists, and Environmental Scientists who can contribute effectively to academic institutions, research organizations, and industries such as Biotechnology, Pharmaceuticals, Food & Dairy, Environmental Audits, Consultancies, and state-of-the-art research centers.

Our Objectives

The key objectives of the programs are:

  • To impart fundamental knowledge in Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical Microbiology, Environmental Science, and Microbiology through subjects such as Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Cell Physiology & Metabolism, Tissue Culture, Bioinformatics, Medical Microbiology, Immunology, and Environmental Sciences.
  • To provide in-depth theoretical understanding of various branches of Biotechnology, including rDNA Technology, Environmental Biotechnology, Industrial Fermentation, Microbial Technology, Immunology, and Pharmaceutical Biotechnology.
  • To help students understand microorganisms—eubacteria, archaebacteria, rickettsia, actinomycetes, fungi, etc.—with respect to their characteristics, physiology, metabolism, molecular genetics, and enzymology.
  • To enhance student knowledge on the use of microorganisms for waste treatment, biofuel production, and bioleaching of metals.
  • To develop understanding of microbial control through physicochemical agents and how microbial activities are applied industrially for producing alcohols, antibiotics, organic acids, vitamins, amino acids, vaccines, and plant hormones.
  • To provide research exposure and develop research aptitude through project work and research methodology training.
  • To familiarize students with industrial setups and work culture through study tours and educational visits to industries.
  • To offer rigorous practical training that enables students to work efficiently in Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical industries.
