Rationale:
Biotechnology is an umbrella term that covers various techniques for using the properties of living things to make products or provide services. Presently around 200,000 people are involved in biotech industries worldwide. India is currently ranked third in the Asia-Pacific region, based on the number of the biotech companies, trailinig behind Australia and China. In India, there are more than 800 companies, in all sectors of biotechnology, of which 20 are working in the modern biotechnology sectors. The new economic policy has exposed indigenous technology and Indian industries to the rigours of global competition. Development of indigenous processes and technology become a must for thriving in the competitive market. The nation needs a good number of dedicated and skilled professionals to meet the demand. Being a fast-growing subject, biotechnology is highly dependent on R&D for new products and concepts. The Government of India has set up the Department of Biotechnology which invested over Rs 1,000 crores for developing skilled manpower, creating R&D infrastructure and providing support to the public funded institutions. The Government of West Bengal also plans to set up a Biotech Incubation Centre on 1,50,000 sq. ft. of space at Sector-V in Salt Lake, for which orders worth Rs. 2 crore have already been placed to buy machines. Over 50 R&D labs in public sectors are active and over 20 are conducting research in frontiers of biotechnology. Export of Indian Biopharmaceutical products has grown 47 per cent annually. The M.Tech course in Biotechnology will help students take a leadership in the R&D sector in both industry and academia. Students can have challenging jobs in areas of healthcare, renewable energy, food and agriculture, pollution control and other relevant industries and tracing out alternative processes for industrial chemicals.

Rationale :

The recession in the US market and global meltdown termed global recession, which has been described by the IMF as the .most dangerous shock to rich-country financial markets since 1930s engulfed the complete world economy during 2008-2009. However, because of the volatile job market, brighter students are now likely to go in for higher studies for enhancing employability, thus posing greater demand for PG programmes. Furthermore, since the global economic crisis has hit IT spending in US and France, many Indian software companies are now focusing on the domestic front. In fact, Indias top three IT firms TCS, Infosys and WIPRO have decided to take on global giant IBM for a bigger share in software development for the domestic market, which would require qualified professionals. The Department of CSE has felt these needs for developing specialized manpower and decided to offer an M.Tech. degree in CSE where state-ofthe-art topics will be covered in depth to satisfy the present and the future needs of the markets. Degree holders from this programme will also be considered as the next generation faculty, instrumental in the formation of a knowledge society and essential in playing a role in the expansion of technical education launched by the MHRD, Govt. of India. At Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata, we use the state-of-the-art hardware and the latest software from Microsoft, IBM, CISCO, Macromedia etc., for our various laboratories like Multimedia lab, Network lab, Basic Computing lab, Web Technology lab, Project lab etc. There is also a team for working with open source so that the institute may also contribute to the development of open source software.

Rationale :

Electronics & Communication Engineering gained momentum in India as early as late 1930s with the introduction of Manual Exchanges and, since then, advances in this field have crossed all boundaries culminating in Indias Moon Mission: CHANDRAYAN. Around 1960, reputed Institutes in West Bengal like CU, JU, BE College along with the IITs started their Electronics & Telecommunication UG programmes supplemented by PG programmes in a short span of time. This revolution in the field of Telecommunication gained further momentum with the introduction of Digital Technology, Integrated Circuit Technology like MSI, LSI etc., with the development of Microprocessors and computers in the late 1970s. Electronics and Communication Engineering is now the name of a revolution in the field of communication that has surpassed all boundaries of space and time through Mobile and Cellular Communication employing VLSI Technology, ISDN, Satellite Network and Broadband employing Optical Fibers transforming the world around us into a global village. The M.Tech programme, will support the ever increasing requirement for specialization for students after completion of their B.Tech. programme and motivate them to join Research work or academia.
