As like other major institutes of India, admission in USBT is done strictly according to the merit-based on 'All India Common Entrance Test of GGSIPU'. Students with physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology or biotechnology during senior school are eligible for the entrance exam. An overwhelming demand for Biotechnology professionals led to an increase in seats from 30 to 45 in the academic session 2006–07 and further in 2009–10.

USBT offers following programs:-

• B.Tech./M.Tech. - 5 1⁄2 Years for Integrated program
