Dear Iram, Firstly, we have to remember that both Biotechnology and Microbiology are applied fields of Biology. Biology in itself, is like a vast web that connects many different fields together. We have fields such as Biostatistics, Bioinformatics, and Biophysics. Even microbiology has varied fields at the master's level such as Applied Microbiology and Medical Microbiology. I would like to say that B.Sc. Microbiology has a greater focus on Chemistry especially biochemistry. It is much easier for Microbiology students to switch to Biochemistry than Zoology or Botany students. B.Sc. Biotechnology has a deeper understanding of technolog

I can very well vouch of the curriculum, pedagogy and exponential opportunity one gets in B.Tech Biotechnology from LPU no where you can get. I would like to pin few reasons why:-
1. Here the Research projects are in collaboration with national laboratories of India (NIPGR, New Delhi; CPRI, Shimla; NRCE, Hisar; IIWBR, Karnal; NIEBE, Kapurthala), Live projects for undergraduate students.
2. You get the opportunity of internship & placement in companies like Biocon Pvt Ltd. , Panacea Biotech, Shanta Biotech, Syngene, Piramal Healthcare, Wockhardt Limited, Reddys Laboratories, Bharat Biotech, Himalaya Spring, Nectar Life sciences Pvt Ltd.

3. Contemporary Curriculum- Instill advanced knowledge in the major areas of Biotechnology such as Animal Tissue Culture, Plant Tissue Culture, Microbiology, Genetics an Bioinformatics.
4. Innovative Pedagogy- Usage of demo kits in addition to animations, simulations, audio-visual aids, demonstrations provide interactive teaching methodology
5. Live projects spread across five semesters help develop research aptitude in students. Specializations
6. International Exposure Option : Student may be given an option to go for 4 weeks study tour to USA/ European countries or any other country as decided by the University subject to conditions. Other than these the university has state of art infrastructure for extensive lab work for Biotechnology. It encourages students in R&D and patent ship. Many of their students have even presented their research work abroad in Spain & Portuguese and have earned great laurels for the university too. At present, the scientific, analytical and problem-solving skills developed by microbiology graduates are high in demand by employers. There are various options available to you after studying for a Microbiology degree. There is an increase in demand for microbiologists in India and globally. A microbiologist can innovate new diagnostic kits, discover new drugs, teach, research, etc. The field of Microbiology covers many others such as Bacteriology, Virology, Mycology and Parasitology and medical microbiologists identify the agents of infectious diseases & devise ways to combat them. They also track down and identify new pathogens. Public health microbiologists try and control the spread of diseases by monitoring water and food supplies. For more details, check the LPU website.

Doing B.Sc in microbiology is a better option. If you've interest in biotechnology then do B.Tech, B.Tech biotechnology has better scope than B.Sc. Biotechnology.

Since microbiology is a part of biotechnology, you should opt for biotechnology. It has good choices for further studies. Also, microbiology is good if, you immediately want to get a job after completing graduation.

Both the fields are good. These fields have a lot of scope. You can get a good job if you enter in the field about which you have a good knowledge. By the way, microbiology is the best option as for now.
