Career in Applied Science After 12th: What National Science Day 2026 at Parul University Reveals About Food Technology, Biotechnology, Nutrition, and Forensic Science Careers

The event’s inaugural speech, given by Professor Trilok Akhani, Dean of the Applied Science Faculty, talked about the Raman Effect, remembering CV Raman. Followed by a demonstration that applied science careers are not confined to laboratories. Dr. Alok Saxena showed that food technology includes supply chain ethics and sustainability. Dr. Chandorkar connected nutrition to climate action. Dr. Jasuja placed forensic science at the intersection of law and food security. Dr. Sadasivuni linked material science to soil health and precision agriculture. Dr. Ishnava demonstrated how green manufacturing and medicinal plant conservation create new industries.

Students did not just listen – they built. Biodegradable bowls from agricultural waste. Food adulteration detection kits. Forensic fingerprint analysis demonstrations. Millet-based recipes for PCOD/PCOS. Research papers on nanoparticle drug delivery and marine plastic degradation. This is what applied science education at Parul University produces. Enroll in the Bachelor of Science in Food Technology and turn your passion into a profession!

New fields are getting added to science, so STEM students can learn about the future trends.  The Faculty of Applied Science at Parul University (through the Parul Institute of Applied Sciences, PIAS) offers B.Sc. and M.Sc. programs across 12+ specialisations:

• B.Sc Food Technology (3-year) and B.Sc. (Hons.) Food Technology (4-year, NEP 2020) – food processing, safety, quality control, product development.
• B.Sc Nutrition and Dietetics (3-year) and B.Sc. (Hons.) Nutrition Science (4-year) – dietary planning, clinical nutrition, sports nutrition, public health.
• B.Sc Biotechnology (3-year) and B.Sc. (Hons.) Biotechnology (4-year) – molecular biology, genetic engineering, microbiology, bioinformatics.
• B.Sc Forensic Science (3-year) and B.Sc. (Hons.) Forensic Science (4-year) – crime scene investigation, DNA analysis, toxicology, cyber forensics.
• B.Sc. Microbiology, Chemistry, Physics, Environmental Science, Genetics, Biochemistry, Mathematics, Geology.
• M.Sc. programs in all major specialisations including Food Technology, Forensic Science, biotechnology, nutrition, and more.

Eligibility for B.Sc. programmes: 12th Science stream from a recognised board. The Faculty is equipped with advanced laboratories for analytical chemistry, food processing, biotechnology, forensic analysis, soil science, environmental testing, and microbiology.

• National Science Day features five domain experts from four institutions – this level of academic exposure is built into the calendar.
• Students here actually get their hands dirty—building science exhibits, tackling things like biodegradable materials and forensic fingerprinting.
• The campus packs plenty of credibility, backed by NAAC A++ status, a NIRF Top 50 Innovation ranking, and a QS Diamond rating.
• If you’re eyeing a B.Sc., there’s a dozen specializations, including the option for a 4-year Honours track way under NEP 2020 rules.
• And don’t worry about resources—the labs are seriously advanced, covering everything from food processing to soil science, forensics, biotech, and environmental testing.
• Parul Sevashram Hospital (1000 + beds) provides clinical and nutritional research exposure.
