CBSE Class 11 Biotechnology Syllabus 2023-24: CBSE, the Central Board of Secondary Education is one of the largest educational boards in India. Schools from all around India have got affiliations with CBSE. This board is regulated by the Indian Union Government. Do you know when, why, and where was CBSE board established?

Here in this article, we have picked Biotechnology for Class 11 to discuss the dropped topics from the syllabus. Biotechnology is one of the subjects for students of the Science stream field who opted for Biology. The boom in the field of Biotechnology is world known and so is the importance of the subject. For CBSE Class 11 students we have provided here the detailed information on the deleted topics from their Biotechnology syllabus. Continue reading to know more.

Scope and Importance of Biotechnology
You must be aware of the recent pandemic and its effect globally. You may also have heard of vaccines that pulled us out of that situation. This development of Vaccines was done with the help of Biotechnology. It is the branch of science that help humankind with the amalgamation of Biology and Technology. With time and improvement in technology, this field is also flourishing thus, can be considered a great career option.
In the field of Biotechnology, career options are numerous which include Research Scientists, Pharmaceuticals, Laboratories, Educational Domains, Healthcare, Medicine, Agriculture, Genetic engineering, Environmental Conservation, Textile Industry and many more. In India, the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) giving more emphasis on the development of this field thus it opens opportunities to people from this domain.
