The School of Biochemical Engineering (BCE) at the Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) was established in 1986 for accomplishing numerous standards in teaching as well as in the research of the current field of biochemical and bioengineering aspects. The School has kept on renovating its academic programs to impart contemporary education in upcoming areas of biochemical engineering. At present, the school of BCE offers academic courses, including Integrated Dual Degree, M. Tech, and Ph.D. in BCE. Not only this, but the School of BCE also offers industrially oriented courses to students of other departments of IIT(BHU).
