Biotechnology in Delhi

Hi,
I'm assuming that you're already a Biotech student at NSIT. So, the option of switching to COE/IT or related courses is out of reach.
Do biotech students get time for other activities?
Well, that's up to you. No engineering course is so intense that will keep you engaged all the time. The amount of time you can take out for other activities (e.g. programming, at it seems, in your case) is completely in your hands.
A major portion of students get placed in software related profiles (irrespective of their branch). That is good enough indicator of the coding atmosphere in NSIT. There are a number of platforms through which you can enhance your programming skills:
1) Periodic sessions conducted by societies like IEEE, CSI, etc.
2) Facebook groups
3) On the personal front, use challenges at Codechef, SPOJ, etc.
Other than this, you can obviously get in touch with your peers and seniors for guidance.
I don't have enough information to compare between the coding environment of DTU and NSIT.
Regarding NSIT's placement for Biotech in COE/IT related profiles, I suggest you get in touch with your 4th-year biotech seniors and/or students at Placecomm.
All the best.

Hi Kartikey,
Biotechnology is a rapidly developing sector.Big firms are pouring in big money into it and new business opportunities are developing in this sector. These things have led to huge increase in job openings in this sector. In short, Biotechnology graduates are in huge demand these days.
The course is a combination of two subjects- Biology and Technology. Broadly speaking, it brings together concepts of Biology and Engineering and aims at putting concepts of both these subjects together, in a bid to enrich our lives and make innovative developments. Some of the popular colleges other than DU ones are:
Rajiv Gandhi Center for Biotechnology, Trivandrum, Kerala
School of Life Sciences, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh
National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal, Haryana
Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai, Maharashtra
Department of Microbiology & Biotechnology Centre, Faculty of Science, Vadodara, Gujarat
University Institute of Engineering & Technology, Punjab University, Chandigarh
On other hand, the biochemistry is a lucrative career option and once you complete your degree in biochemistry, you become eligible for a wide array of career options, such as the jobs of research analysts, lab technicians, microbiologists, clinical scientists and biotechnologists in industries like food and nutrition, healthcare, beauty industry, research sector and chemicals. Some of the popular biochemistry colleges are:
DS Institute of Paramedical Sciences and Hospital, Ghaziabad, UP
MMHRC, Madurai, Tamil Nadu
Asutosh College, Kolkata
Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture, Allahabad, UP
Holy Cross College, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu
Kongunadu Arts & Science College, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu
