How are the placements of B.Tech in biotechnology from DTU, Delhi?

Hey there, According to the information that I gathered from my friends, internet and personal experience I came to know that the scene is not as expected in the placement session of Biotechnology. DTU is one of the best technological universities in India and of course the placement opportunities are very good, but keeping the core courses in mind. Biotechnology is not a core branch, hence placement opportunities are not up to the mark, but if you are good in that field which you are studying, no one can stop you from getting selected in campus placements. The faculty of biotechnology is highly qualified and supportive. Labs are decent too. According to the 2017 placement session, the average package of biotech was 3.5-4 LPA. Many pharma companies visit DTU to recruit students from Biotechnology branch, but only few are able to fetch a job for themselves. Overall, the placements for Biotechnology are really screwed up. So, if you are aiming for a job after graduation then Biotechnology is not for you, avoid this branch and try to get any other core branch. I hope this will help you in selecting the course.

I can say Lovely Professional University is best for pursuing B.Tech in Biotechnology. If you re looking for quality education, good placements, exposure, academics then LPU is right place, it has all. I am saying this because one of my known is pursuing same course from LPU and her experience is amazing. She told me LPU School of Bioengineering and Biosciences is equipped with state-of-the-art Bioprocess Engineering and Bioscience labs and believes in imparting knowledge to students through a practical approach to achieve mastery in plant and animal physiology. Faculty members works hard tirelessly in enabling students with the acumen to apply the findings of Bio sciences in the fields of medicine, forensics, nutrition and dietetics for the benefit of the community. According to my known, the views shared by her are: Live projects spread across five semesters help develop research aptitude in students. The course offers specializations in Dairy Technology, Fermentation Technology and Bioinformatics. The curriculum offers prime focus on fundamental and applied aspects of biotechnology. The school encourages R & D activities for students to get the benefit. Many students from LPU have successfully collaborated with foreign universities and research institutions. The deptt also inculcates entrepreneurship opportunities to build job providers of the future. Special inputs in the form of placement classes are given to students to hone their skills and prepare them for placements. Students also go for on-job training (OJT) where they are paid stipend too. LPU has highly qualified faculty from IITs, IIITs, and NITs etc. Companies like Panacea biotech, Dalmia healthcare, Root anaylsis, Cactus (and the list goes on) visit the campus every year. Also the scope is just not limited to work in the corporate sector in areas like marketing, quality controls or as research associative (for companies like Root anaylsis and cactus) but also the research areas. The curriculum has been designed in such a way that it makes it easier for the students to prepare themselves for giant exams like CSIR NET ICMR, ICAR, and GATE. With an experienced faculty of 30+ in the department who arw ready to help the students round the clock, seven days a week, this institute is one of the best options for the young population to opt for biotechnology.
