Job opportunities
There are many good job opportunities available after completing B.Tech Biotechnology. After multimedia industry, Biotechnology is ranked second as the growing sector with a tremendous employment potential.
After completing your B.Tech, you can seek employment in leading Indian or multi-national companies. You can apply for jobs in a range of industries dealing with pharmaceutical, chemical, bioprocessing and agriculture products. You are also eligible for opportunities in government research and development organisations.
Some companies that hire biotechnologists are Hindustan Lever, Thapar Group, Indo American Hybrid Seeds, Bincon India Limited, Bivcol, IDPL, Indian Vaccines Corporation, Hindustan Antibiotics, Sun Pharma, Cadila etc.
Some job roles you can assume are Research Scientist, Research Associate, Marketing personnel, Business Development Officer, Sales Representative, Biotech Engineer, and Lab Technician.
Higher education
A post-graduate degree will improve your job prospects further.
It will help you gain in-depth knowledge of the subject and provide the confidence required to face the job market. After completing B.Tech in Biotechnology, you can pursue M.Tech (Biotechnology), M.Tech (Bio-Informatics) or MBA (Biotechnology).
M.Tech (Biotechnology) involves study of Biotechnology in great detail.
M.Tech (Bio-Informatics) is the study of application of computer technology to the management of biological information.
Bioinformatics plays a vital role especially in drug discovery and development; computers are used to gather, store, analyse and integrate biological and genetic information
MBA (Biotechnology) provides broad introduction to Biotechnology and focuses on imparting management skills, required in chemical, pharmaceutical or allied industries.
