Hi,
Key differentiators between B.C.A and B.Tech C.S.E
1. B.C.A stands for Bachelor of Computer Applications whereas B.Tech is Bachelor of Technology.
2. B.C.A is solely computer related whereas B.Tech incorporates technical subjects along with computer applications.
3. The former is a degree course whereas the latter is an engineering discipline.
4. B.C.A Professionals can seek for career in IT industries or software companies only whereas Engineers can opt either for technical jobs or for software jobs.
Comparing B.C.A and B.Tech, the latter is a much better course, which has reasonably good employment opportunities. The former becomes a good one with a post graduation in Computer Applications.

Hi,
Most of the students from engineering background opt for either finance or operations as their specialization in MBA.
However, before opting for any specialization you must first decide in which field you wish to build your career and accordingly you can opt for the best specialization that can further enhance your career prospects.
As per your profile I would suggest you to work for 1-2 years after completing your engineering and then opt for further studies.The advantage of this step would be:
- You will gain relevant work experience.
- After working you will know which course to pursue that can further enhance your career prospects, i.e. if you wish to build your career in technical field, then you may pursue masters in same or related fields, whereas if you are interested in management then you may pursue MBA.
- The other advantage of work experience would be that during admission in MBA, you will have advantage over candidates with no work experience.
Please remember in order to pursue MBA from good universities abroad, you need to have atleast 2-3 years of full time work experience after graduation.

Dear Meghatithi;
Whenever you think of a career in biotechnology, the first important question to ask is which one of the three broad classes are you interested in: medical, agricultural or industrial biotechnology? That will determine the nature of your education. Take for example, if you are inclined towards a career in medical biotechnology with a specialisation in vaccine production, then a solid background in immunology would be a must, whereas, if agro-biotechnology is what excites you, then extensive training in botany would be a prerequisite. Of course, there are many common specialisations in both the fields like recombinant DNA technologies, cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, etc.; therefore a basic biology education is needed for a firm grounding in the fundamental principles of biotechnology. The second important issue to be addressed is what type of job in your selected field you would want to perform since that would determine how many years you would want to invest in your education. On average, a senior research scientist in a university or biotech company dedicates 4-6 years to obtain a Ph.D. followed by a few years of post-doctoral experience. A research associate/technician would have to invest in a 3-4 year Bachelor's and maybe a 2-3 year Master's degree program.
the question is how to kick-start it? In other words, how can you go that extra mile so as to stand out from all the other hundreds of candidates who have the same basic education as you do? Based on experiences of other scientists in the field as well as some personal experiences, I have come up with a few key points that might help you. Although this is not a comprehensive, all-inclusive list by far, I hope that you will benefit from it.
Biotechnologists have to integrate various technologies and have to be proficient in many different topics apart from their own specializations.
Internships/Summer jobs.
Proffetional Networking.
Membership in professional organisations.
Best of luck!
