Is there scope for biotechnology in India?

The course has a vast scope and after doing the course you can become - Forensic Science Technicians Medical Scientists Microbiologists Environmental Biotechnologist Geneticist Molecular Biotechnologist Epidemiologist R&D Scientist Biochemist Biophysicist Manufacturing Specialist Bioproduction Specialists Medical Technician and Clinical Lab Technologist Pharmaceutical Biotechnologist Being a faculty of LPU I would like to highlight some of the details of the LPUs biotech programme. LPUs biotech programme is an Engineering programme that seamlessly articulates the concepts from basic Science to technology with relevant practice through lab and projects on biotechnology for building the problem-solving skills, keeping industry requirements in place. 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. The faculty works hard tirelessly in enabling students with an acumen to apply the findings of Biosciences in the fields of medicine, forensics, nutrition, and dietetics for the benefit of the community. B.Tech Biotech students have a vast scope as they can work in sectors of pharmaceuticals, agriculture, healthcare, food processing, nutrition, animal science, and environmental conservation. Not in terms of opportunities, even salary packages of biotechnology professionals are lucrative The average CTC offered to B.Sc. Biotechnology students is 4.7 LPA. The highest package offered to the students is 9.55 LPA. Students who have graduated with a B.Sc. Biotechnology degree from LPU receives 100% placements. Students are placed in the best brands like Biocon Pvt Ltd., Panacea Biotech, Shanta Biotech, Syngene, Piramal Healthcare, Wockhardt Limited, Reddys Laboratories, Bharat Biotech, Himalaya Spring, Nectar Life Sciences Pvt Ltd., Alchemist Pvt Ltd, Transsasia Pvt Ltd, Life-cell International, etc. Hope this information is of some use to you. Good Luck.

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. In addition to core curricula, course offers subjects like communication and soft skills to enhance personality and employability. She said, specializations may be offered in Dairy Technology or Fermentation Technology or Molecular Biotechnology (subject to minimum number of students and feasibility) Students can get a foreign degree through international collaborations (2 year in India and 2 years abroad or 2 year in India and 1 year abroad) Industry certifications, MOOCs, Hackathons, Workshops, Guest lectures, Educational Trips, Live projects, Incubation projects, Community projects, are an integral part of the curriculumThe curriculum offers prime focus on fundamental and applied aspects of biotechnologyCourse offers participation in technical events, sports and cultural activities help in the holistic development of students. She Participated in technical events, conferences, workshops, sports and cultural activities help in the holistic development of students. There are BIO ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES that provides an understanding of the basic principles and applications of analytical techniques used in biology. 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.
