What is the scope after B.Tech in food technology?

Hello Rahul, Scope depends upon the field in which you want to excel, -Food industry is diversified industry consisting majority of unorganized sector around 70%. -Processing of dairy is totally different from brewery industry, so it is all up to you in which field you want to excel in. -If you stick to a single field and master yourself in production and development, there would be many industries who would pick you up in a startup industry with good packages around 11.5 Lacs after good experience of around few years. Don't hope for getting jobs only in MNCs if you don't have good college background as mostly the MNCs recruiting takes place through campus selection. Don't hesitate to start your career with 10k-15k pm as it is the average salary for Freshers currently offered in Medium and small scale industries but it takes less time to get hike if you perform and take calculated risks at proper time. Good luck.

Ample amounts of job opportunities are available in front of Graduates in Government as well as Private sectors. Competition for job posts is less, since there are relatively lesser number of Colleges offering this course and thus lesser number of students pursuing it. Thus, landing a good job is relatively easy, when it comes to Food Processing and Technology field.
