    MBBS is a professional degree. It prepares students for a career in medicine. You will be trained to become a medical doctor, and your focus will be on clinical practice, patient care, diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

    Biotechnology prepares individuals for careers in research and development. Biotechnologists work with biological systems, conduct experiments, and apply technology to develop new products, processes, or applications.
