I want to do B.Sc in biotechnology and microbiology. Can you suggest the best colleges for the same?

Hi Apoorv, It is up to you which field you would like to follow what you have the most interest in because that is inadvertently the field you will succeed at the most, no matter of the numbers and trends. Here are few institutes: University of Hyderabad-School of Life Sciences, University of Mumbai-Institute of Chemical Technology, National Dairy Research Institute Rajiv Gandhi Center for Biotechnology Lovely Professional University, Punjab Delhi Technological University-Department of Biotechnology, Indian Institute of Technology-Department of Biochemical Engineering & Biotechnology, Delhi University Banaras Hindu University Jawaharlal Nehru University Aligarh Muslim University of Mumbai VIT BITS etc. All the best.

Having a biotechnology degree opens up many more doors, in various fields like industrial processes, management jobs while microbiology jobs are more research oriented. You also have an option of doing MBA in Biotechnology which is a new and emerging field of work. The job market while not absolutely lucrative is growing with the biotechnology sector on the increase in India. There are jobs in the agricultural, pharmaceuticals, medical and various other fields, making it a very flexible subject. Also, there are much independent Biotechnology startup companies that promise a good future. After a few years of experience, the salary does increase, as does your market value. What I have found is that in most jobs the requirements are for either Biotechnology or Microbiology graduates, though the latter tends to go for Quality Control in various industries. When it comes to salary, the starting pay packages are usually in the same range, though managerial positions always pay more than research ones. It is important to mention that while PhDs are available without Fellowships, it would be most prudent to try and gain one, due to low funding in most Ph.D. programmes. In relation to this, it must be mentioned that there are many Fellowship programs, like the DBT-JRF and CSIR NET that provide Fellowships to scholars in Biotechnology. This aspect is much more developed for Biotechnology than Microbiology. While concluding it must be mentioned that while regarding jobs both fields seem at par, for PhDs in India Biotechnology does seem to have an edge. However, it is up to you which field you would like to follow. Follow what you have the most interest in because that is inadvertently the field you will succeed at the most, no matter of the numbers and trends. Here are few institutes: University of Hyderabad-School of Life Sciences, University of Mumbai-Institute of Chemical Technology, National Dairy Research Institute Rajiv Gandhi Center for Biotechnology Lovely Professional University Delhi Technological University-Department of Biotechnology, Indian Institute of Technology-Department of Biochemical Engineering & Biotechnology, Delhi University Banaras Hindu University Jawaharlal Nehru University Aligarh Muslim University of Mumbai VIT BITS etc. DVD.
