Chemical engineering has better opportunities in the industrial side. The scope for the opportunities in biotechnology is bad. After B.Tech in chemical engineering, if cleared with good marks in GATE exam, you have good chances to join ONGC, GAIL, HP, etc.

It all depends on you. Chemical engineering involves designing reactors for various chemical reactions and it has also a major role in energy production. There are various main fields in chemical engineering:
Petroleum Processing
Pharmaceutical Science
Energy Storage
Energy production
Simulation of various reactions and reactors
If you have interest in any of these things, chemical engineering will be better. Biotechnology involves studies related to living organisms, etc. It involves testing new medicines in animals, gene and DNA studies, etc. Biotech is more of Science rather than engineering. Maths is relatively less in biotech. Finally,

Chemical engineering has wider options. Many biotechnology people ultimately land in pharmacy.

Saurav,
This is based on your interest if you have good knowledge about chemical engineering you choose this rather than biotechnology if you have knowledge both branch scope is good at present and also in upcoming years.
