    Choose BCA at LPU if you're interested in computer applications, IT, and programming for a quicker pathway to the tech industry. Opt for B.Tech in Biotechnology if you're passionate about biology and technology, aiming for careers in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, or research. Both programs offer placement support, but each aligns with different career paths.
