I m interested in biotechnology. Should i go for b.sc in biotechnology or b.tech in biotechnology.Are there good chances in india for job after doing b.sc or b.tech in biotechnology??

Both these courses are well recognised. However in terms of value the B.Tech course has more value. Also B.Tech degree will give a more in depth training in this field. The scope in both India and abroad are high. But it is advisable to complete Masters course too. In India if you intend to go for the research field then you must clear the JRF exam too.

Ya both are good choices to get a good job. But B.Sc is for a period of 3 years and B.Tech is for a period of 4 years.

By B.Sc you have limited number of opportunities and you will be paid less salaries. So, again you have to go through M.Sc in biotechnology. It is for a period of 2 years. The admission into M.Sc in Biotechnology is through an entrance exam in most cases where as for B.Sc you can get admission directly.

B.Tech biotechnology is for a period of 4 years. It is being offered by limited number of colleges.

As per the job perspective, Biotechnology is a developing field in India. Plenty of jobs are going to come. But one should be good enough in the practical oriented.

Dear friend ,

It is Better go for B.Tech.

Even though people claim as bio technology is latest field, job opportunities are rare.

Moreover B.Tech is professional degree, which will be helpful, if you try for some abroad job, they prefer 12+4 years of academic qualification for most of the job opportunities.

Best wishes!!!!!!

company always prefer students from B.Tech than B.Sc in any field. in B.Tech the subject is taught more than the B.Sc. course. first of all duration of B.Tech(4 years) is more than the B.Sc(3 years). in B.tech not only subject is taught but also mathematics, ethics, communication(English) etc also taught which are very much helpful to work in industry.



in biotechnology also B.tech in biotechnology is more preferable than the biotechnology in B.Sc. if you want to study in Biotechnology field it is better to study B.tech in Biotechnology. unfortunate if you are unable to get chance to take admission in B.Tech then go for B.Sc.


now scope and job opportunity is very much higher. even you may go for higher study after graduation like M.Tech or M.Sc. you may also appear in GATE in biotechnology paper after B.tech in biotechnology.


in India Biotechnology field is developing day by day. in future it will give more job opportunity. now in abroad there is a very good scope of research in biotechnology.


best wishes.

Hiiiiiii,

Biology and Technology makes Biotechnology.

In Biotechnology we study about biological organisms through technological applications.

Biotechnology can be used as an effective tool for food production, food storing, environmental conservation and preservation etc.

Basically In Biotechnology we study about Tissue culture, Stem cell techniques, Immuno-technologies and Photosynthetic etc.

The Scope of Biotechnology in India is very wide and the future of Biotechnology in India is very bright.

NOTE: - B.Tech. (Biotechnology) & B.Sc. (Biotechnology) both courses are better and the course duration of B.Tech. (Biotechnology) is 04 Years & the course duration of B.Sc. (Biotechnology) is 03 Years.

According to my opinion you can choose B.Tech. (Biotechnology) because B.Tech. (Biotechnology) is having more weigtage than B.Sc. (Biotechnology).


Good Luck

Dear friend ,
These are the best colleges offering bio tech courses-
1.anna university ,chennai
2.college of engineering,chennai
3.SRM institute.chennai
4.Bharath university,chennai
5.Bharathidasan Institute of Engineering & Technology .trichy
6.alagappa university.karaikudi
7.PSG College of Technology,coimbatore
8.Vellore Institute of Technology (Deemed University),vellore
9.Kamaraj College of Engineering & Technology ,madurai
Though biotech is slow now it has very vast scope in the future and is better to select B.Tech over B.Sc bio tech.

al the best

biotechnology is the worst never ever opt for this, no job, no requiremnt, even if u got marks................yours truly (by a biotech post graduate)

biotech is not at all d worst...hu so evr believes dt...God bless u...b.tech is a good option then b.sc bt stl dont thnk dt jst a btech degree is enough...a good salary requires lots of knowledge in d practical world...wich is nt posbl jst b ur bachelors...n moreovr job opportunities r given only 2 m.tech or ph.d graduates...as far as i hv seen...

what is the coming for me after finishing the b.tech biotechnology

after completing b.sc biotech doing MBA is good for job opportunity or not?

I have completed my B.tech and was very much disheartened as I tried for job in this field .Its better if you go for M.tech after B.Tech.For salary I can say , Biotech people are comparatively paid less at the beginning but will have a good prospect once you gain experience.So time really matters for this subject.

dear friend,

B.sc in biotechnology is 3 yrs course where as B.tech is 4 yrs course .
B.tech is always better than the B.sc course because in b.tech you get more technical knowledge .

Companies also prefer more b.tech students than the B.sc students

Now a days the scope for this stream increases in India & abroad .

If you do M.tech after the B.tech then you can go for the research line.

Best of luck.......

i have chosen b.sc.biotechnology. What should i do next?what can be done to improve my job facilities?

i had taken BYPC to do BIOTECHNOLOGY is a goodthing?i had listened that doing biotechnology with BYPC is this better is it right?

I am doing B.tech in bio-technology from NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY,DURGAPUR 2011-2015. What are job chances for me

I joined be biotechnology dis year...all are telling that be biotech has no scope...is it????m worried

no not al....its a best course but aft finishin u should o aboard u ll shine nicely...

Is there any integrated course of M.sc(biotech) and M.tech(biotech) in abroad(U.S)? I am doing B.sc(biotech) in India.

hello frnds...
thr is no scope for boitech in india, just nw its devoloping here... if u want to do biotech, do it in IIT or NIT... then only u ll get placement or else its waste to do in anyother institution... lots of my frnds hasnt got job...

Hi Friends ...... i completed Btech Biotech in 2009 , and wandered here and there (whole india) for job , i tried in pharma company , somehow i got work in a pharma company IN HIMACHAL PRADESH AND MY SALARY WAS 5000 ..... i worked there in QC ...... I gave one complete year in search of job , but in vain. I also cleared IISC 2009 WRITTEN TEST FOR RESEARCH PROGRAM , but couldnt make it through interview. With All MY EXPERIENCE I CAN TELL YOU , THERE IS NO REAL SCOPE OF BIOTECH IN INDIA , YOU MAY GET SOME JOB BUT YOU CANT RUN FAMILY ......EVEN IN PHARMA GROWTH PROSPECT FOR US IS VERY LESS. EVEN IF SOME RAY OF HOPE IS THERE BUT FOR THOSE WHO COMPLETE PHD AND JOIN TEACHING LINE ... IN GOVT. COLLEGE ... OTHERWISE .... you will repent whole life watching your earning and prospering friends frm other dept.
