Both the universities are good. LPUs biotech is an Engineering programme that seamlessly articulates the concepts from basic Science to technology with relevant practice through labs and projects on biotechnology for building the problem-solving skills, keeping industry requirements in place. LPU School of Bioengineering and Biosciences is equipped with state-of-the-art Bioprocess Engineering and Bioscience labs and believes in imparting knowledge to students through a practical approach to achieve mastery in plant and animal physiology. The faculty works hard tirelessly in enabling students with an acumen to apply the findings of Biosciences in the fields of medicine, forensics, nutrition, and dietetics for the benefit of the community. The eligibility is Pass with 60% aggregate marks in 10+2 (with Physics Chemistry English and Mathematics or Biology or Biotechnology) or equivalent, subject to qualifying LPU NEST. B.Tech Biotech students have a vast scope as they can work in sectors of pharmaceuticals, agriculture, healthcare, food processing, nutrition, animal Science, and environmental conservation. Not in terms of opportunities, even salary packages of biotechnology professionals are lucrative The average CTC offered to B.Sc. Biotechnology students is 4.7 LPA. The highest package offered to the students is 9.55 LPA. Students who have graduated with a B.Sc. Biotechnology degree from LPU receive 100% placements. Students are placed in the best brands like Biocon Pvt Ltd. , Panacea Biotech, Shanta Biotech, Syngene, Piramal Healthcare, Wockhardt Limited, Reddys Laboratories, Bharat Biotech, Himalaya Spring, Nectar Life Sciences Pvt Ltd. , Alchemist Pvt Ltd, Transsasia Pvt Ltd, Life-cell International, etc. Hope this information is of some use to you. Good Luck.

VIT and SRM both are good universities. I don't know much about these two universities but as LPU alumni, I would recommend LPU. If you are looking for the best university for B.Sc. In the biotechnology course, I would say Lovely professional University is the best university. The curriculum has been designed in such a way that it makes it easier for the students to prepare themselves for giant exams like CSIR NET ICMR, ICAR, and GATE. With an experienced faculty of 30+ in the department who are ready to help the students round the clock, seven days a week, this institute is one of the best options for the young population to opt for biotechnology. In addition to core curricula, the course offers subjects like communication and soft skills to enhance personality and employability. She said, specializations may be offered in Dairy Technology Fermentation Technology, or Molecular Biotechnology (subject to the minimum number of students and feasibility) The course offers specializations in Dairy Technology, Fermentation Technology, and Bioinformatics. The curriculum offers a prime focus on fundamental and applied aspects of biotechnology. Students can get a foreign degree through international collaborations (2 years in India and 2 years abroad or 2 years in India and 1 year abroad).

VIT, Vellore or SRM University both are equally good as The B.Tech biotechnology is an undergraduate engineering course in the spectrum of engineering. Biotechnology engineering is a field of applied Biology and chemical engineering principles that involves the use of living things in engineering, technology, medicine, and other useful applications. As per my knowledge and findings, I must say that Lovely Professional University is the best and the largest private university based in the northern part of India, and its B.Tech Biotechnology programme at LPU emphasizes the correlation of concepts with the scientific happenings for deeply rooted concept building to harness the research potential in the upcoming streams of Biotechnology. LPU School of biotechnology provides an ultimate learning experience with a commitment to innovation. It also brings in numerous amount of guest lectures from experts and the field visits are also organized by the school.

This field, the careers in it and the functional areas are just integral in getting a meaningful biotechnology product to market. These areas include: Research and development Software engineering Quality assurance/regulatory affairs Project management Clinical research Government (policy making) Manufacturing Business management Food, animal, and environmental Science Sales and technical support Biotechnology as a field and its knowledge has applications in many industries, so the specialist professionals can choose to work for a variety of organizations be it government agencies or private companies, regulatory bodies, or clinical laboratories. Biotechnology employers range in size and type from small start-ups to global pharmaceutical leaders There are some extraordinary developments happening in the field, including industrial disease treatment, gene therapy, personalized medicine and even hazardous waste control. But whats most exciting about the industry, is that no matter what you are doing in it, you can truly have an impact on the world around you. In-Demand Biotechnology Careers Biomedical Engineer Biochemist Medical Scientist Biological/Clinical Technician Microbiologist Process Development Scientist Bio-manufacturing Specialists Business Development Manager Director of Product Strategy/Commercialization A solid educational foundation rooted in Science and its related coursework is perhaps the most critical point in making a career. The advanced programs, such as a B.Tech in Biotech or maybe Master of Science in Biotechnology, can enable you to go for the chances to explore the many avenues you can take in your career You must look for a degree program that will give you the opportunity to get hands-on experience by way of internships, live projects, consultancies and OJTs etc. It will help you understand the accountability and responsibility of a real-world company, where its about owning the projects or processes. The field is dynamic, new skills, new technologies, new challenges, new competition are order of the day. Be adaptive to changes in the industry. Since there is cut throat competition in the profession, the program must be done only from top institutions not the ordinary ones. LPU makes a perfect cut for this program, it is far ahead of both the names mentioned in the question, more than 100 companies coming to campus for recruitment of Biotech grads speaks volumes, moreover LPU's fee is just a fraction of both these biggies !
