The four-year B.Tech. Curriculum focuses on the technological applications in biology. The three-year B.Sc Course is conducted as any other Science subject and the students can go for the M.Sc Course and take up research later. The B.Tech Course is a better option. After a B.Tech degree, students can find jobs in pharmaceutical companies, research labs and institutions in India. However, most students tend to go abroad to pursue their Masters or doctorate studies in Biotechnology and allied fields. Some also shift to MBA and enter the world of business, finance and banking as their engineering background gives them the required quantitative skills to excel in these sectors. Many shift to software through on-campus placements. Regarding on-campus placements, since the number of job openings is very less in Biotechnology, the number of companies coming for placements will be few. Core companies only hire students from universities such as IITs, NITs etc.

Go for B.Tech in Biotechnology. The three-year B.Sc. Course is conducted as any other Science subject and the students can go for the M.Sc. Course and take up research later. The B.Tech. Course is the better option. Selection will be on the basis of the engineering entrance examination and marks obtained in Plus Two or equivalent examinations in Science subjects. Students who pass the qualifying examination with at least 50 per cent marks in mathematics and as much in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biotechnology, computer Science or biology taken together are eligible to take the entrance examination. A few universities offer a five-year integrated M.Sc. Biotechnology course for Plus Two students in the Science stream. The biotechnology industry is witnessing good growth worldwide. India will have a competitive advantage in the industry since it is knowledge-intensive. A biotechnologist, depending on the area of specialisation, can find jobs in biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies or in chemical, agricultural, and allied industries. Research institutes and laboratories provide good job opportunities for those with M.Tech. And Ph.D. degrees. Teaching is a good option. Study of, and employment in, biotechnology is research-oriented. You can do biotechnology related courses from: 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.
