    Choosing between B.Tech Biotechnology and B.Sc Forensic Science depends on your interests and career goals. However, B.Tech Biotechnology, especially at Lovely Professional University (LPU), offers broader career opportunities, strong industry integration, and advanced research exposure. The program covers areas like genetic engineering, molecular biology, pharmaceuticals, and bioinformatics, supported by modern labs and placement support. While Forensic Science suits those interested in criminal investigations, B.Tech Biotechnology provides a wider, future-ready career scope globally.

    Choosing between B.Tech in Biotechnology and B.Sc. in Forensic Science after your 12th board exams depends on your interests and career goals. If you're passionate about biology, genetics, pharmaceuticals, or research in healthcare and agriculture, Biotechnology offers a wide range of opportunities in both industry and academia, including roles in biotech firms, R&D labs, and even higher studies abroad. On the other hand, if you're intrigued by crime investigation, lab analysis, and applying science to law enforcement, Forensic Science opens exciting doors in police departments, detective agencies, legal firms, and government labs.

    Biotech has greater career opportunity. Forensic science is something offered by very few institutes and good professionals are always in demand. Firstly, you need to introspect your own interest. Whether you want a career in forensics or Biotech. After which, you can check the course fee, scholarships, scope, etc.
  • Both courses have their own importance and necessities in all the time. Having mastery or excellence in a field is the main key to unlock the doors of multiple jobs. what is best for me can't be best for you or vice-versa so, it would be better to figure out your interest first. Eligibility Criteria for both the courses is:
    Pass with 60% aggregate marks in 10+2 (with English, Physics, Chemistry and Maths or Biology or Biotechnology) or equivalent, subject to qualifying LPUNEST.
