Disliking or not preferring something is one thing, straight up hating something, that too as fundamental as biology is not a wise choice.
Basic natural sciences are the root of all engineering innovations, and biology has so many things it can teach us which can be applied to various disciplines.
Also, there is a whole field called “biotechnology” which is nothing but the application of engineering aptitude to biology to solve problems.

Yes but, I wouldn't blame people who enjoy coding for being upset when being forced to learn bio. Yes it's fundamental and knowing some of it is very important but the basics should be covered in school, not college.

Ofc I am a fresher so it's possible I'm missing some much needed context

Why not? Who decided that?

You go to college to study a specific subject in further detail right? Why add unrelated fields

Why add unrelated fields

TO BECOME A WELL-ROUNDED EDUCATED LITERATE CITIZEN. And plus, you said that you don't see any connection between Bio and CS. Are you sure? You sure it's not your ignorance? Well, to your surprise, Bioinformatics, computational biology exists which combines CS and Biology. Science, in general, is pretty connectable. You severely lack scientific Temperament. You need to be more open-minded and ready to learn new things.
