INTRODUCTION
Educational tour or field trips are learning experiences
outside the classroom. These trips supplement classroom
learning by providing students with an opportunity to see
the actual places, artifacts, flora, fauna or phenomenon
that are described in textbooks and lectures. They also
enrich the students experiences by exposing them to the
situations that are new to them. Educational tours may
also be undertaken by family groups, whether home
schooling or not. At the vocational and college level,
highly specialized field trips may be undertaken in order
for students to gain firsthand knowledge major. The tour
should be organized keeping in view the point of interest
the student so as to make it more effective and
knowledgeable gain to the students. Likewise, a tour was
organized by our college that is further mention and
follows up in my report.

academic giant in the last 94 years of its matchless
service.
It has several departments in which biotechnology
department is one of the utmost departments. It is headed
by Dr. Renuka Malhotra (MSc., PhD in Biochemistry,
GNDU) our department has excel in academic and
various and other co curricular activity under the guidance
of scholastic and vigilant teachers. It also organized
various conferences and other seminar by the guest
lecturers of various repudiated institutions. In which the
educational tour was one of the activity to innovate and

year Biotechnology department, DAV College Jalandhar
on the pleasant day of went to the premier campus of
National Institute of Technology (NIT) which was
organized by the college under the guidance of our
respected mentors namely Dr. Sanjay Sharma (MSc., M

More about National Institute
Dr. B.R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology was

We were happy to reach the premier and our
first stop to the institute was the Department of
Biotechnology.
Department of Biotechnology (NIT)
We were guided by our honorable guide regarding the
HPLC (High Pressure Liquid Chromatography) and its
various applications in our practicals related to
differentiate between various biomolecules etc.
A picture of a tool that is used in the High Pressure Liquid
Chromatography
We were shown the Bioreactor. They were working on
some kind of fermentation of wheat straws. They
explained us all the conditions of the project they were
working on.
We were very well guided by our guide. They explained
us very well.
Now we were heading towards next lab for getting
more knowledge about the tools that are used in
biotechnology practicals.
A tool that shows different peaks of biomolecules by
using that peaks we can differentiate between different
biomolecules.
Some of the tools were demonstrated to us were like.
A tool that is used for the electrophoresis
A spectrometer..
Our guide explains us about this one of the important
instrument that is daily used in the labs by the
researchers..
We really had a great time at the department of
biotechnology of NIT and it was time for us to leave the
faculty and sir gave us his warm wishes for our future and
hoped us to come there again
To sum up, we had a great day along with great profound
