Biotechnology Scope

Hi
Biotechnology course is all about using concepts of Biology for tweaking and modifying biological systems, cell structures, biological processes etc. So that they can be used in Engineering and Technology related applications to improve and enrich various sectors such as healthcare, food processing, agriculture, pharmaceuticals etc. And solve problems arising in these sectors. After a B.Tech degree, students can find jobs in pharmaceutical companies, research labs, biotech companies like Life Cell, Reliance Biotech, and many others and institutions in India. There are various industries that are engaged in developing and researching biological products and chemical industries. Besides, there is always demand for improvements in medicines and health products. Students in the research field tend to take up projects overseas, which is another lucrative option. Since India is still developing, it is highly recommended that you do your B.Tech in a reputed institution for good campus placements and job opportunities. If your university is not reputed, chances of any biotech company coming for placements will be zero. I would like to recommend you that you should pursue your B.Tech Biotech, from a well renowned, reputed nationally or state wise university, in which chances of any biotech or pharmaceutical company coming for placements sessions are higher as compare to the institute which is not that much well reputed and re renowned. I would like to recommend you some best universities for biotechnology course like:
Lovely Professional University- Punjab, Manav Rachna University, BITS Pilani, Delhi College of Engineering, VIT, Vellore, PSG Technology Coimbatore, National Institute of Engineering, Mysore, BIT Ranchi, NSIT, New Delhi etc. Few of these universities provides extensive learning programs and exposure to the students. They also provide worthy scholarships to its students depending upon the entrance test taken of the university or board result. These universities also offer various skill development programs, professional enhancement training and outstanding exposure to its students.

Bio-Technology covers a broader scope in natural sciences, while the principles of biomedical engineering mainly on medicine and engineering principles. Both are upcoming and promising fields that has significantly contributed and helped in improving the quality of life. Biomedical field is related to vaccines, agriculture, cloning, bio-fuels, industrial enzymes, and drugs. The areas of study covers the subjects like of genetics, microbiology, molecular and cell biology, biochemistry, etc. Bio-Technology has broad areas of application in the filed like health care, agriculture, environment, pollution control, waste management, mining, energy production, forestry and aquaculture and food industrial processing.

Hello dear,
Here, two of the best choice for you as B.Tech or B.Sc.
B.Tech degree in Biotechnology encompasses both the biological sciences as well as the engineering aspect of Biotechnology. The B.Tech curriculum will cover life sciences subjects such as Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Cell Biology, etc. and engineering subjects like Bioprocess Engineering, Biochemical Engineering, Thermodynamics, Mass Transfer etc.
A B.Sc degree on the other hand focuses more on the biological sciences aspect of Biotechnology. Yes, there will be a few subjects (1 or 2) related to industrial processes but the main emphasis will be on R&D in biological sciences fields such as Biochemistry, Plant and Animal Biotechnology, Microbiology, Molecular Biology and Microbial Genetics, to name a few.
There is no such thing as B.Tech being better than BSc or vice versa. Students must choose a course that aligns with their long term goals. Do you want to pursue a research career in areas such as Stem Cells, Genetic Engineering, Plant Biotechnology, Molecular Biology etc.? If yes, choose BSc/MSc Biotechnology or BSc Biotechnology and MSc in any specialized field of Biotechnology. You can later on pursue your PhD if interested.
If you want to keep your options open, then go for B.Tech Biotechnology. Many B.Tech students who do not find jobs in biotech sector shift to software, management etc. So, this is an added bonus for biotech students and this kind of transition will be tougher with a BSc and MSc degree in Biotechnology.
Scope of Biotechnology for B.Tech students:
Any student who is contemplating on pursuing a career in Biotechnology must be aware that this field is still developing in India. Therefore, the number of job openings and pay packages are both very low when compared with IT and CS fields.
After a B.Tech degree, students can find jobs in pharmaceutical companies, research labs and institutions in India. However, most Indian students tend to go abroad to pursue their masters or doctorate studies in Biotechnology and allied fields. Some students also shift to MBA and enter the world of business, finance and banking as their engineering background gives them the required quantitative skills to excel in these sectors.

Hi,

Hi,
After B.Sc in Biotechnology, you have numerous choices, however, it will depend on you how you want to shape your future.
These courses are:
M.Sc Biotechnology is the application of biological processes to commercial and industrial purposes. This stream of science has a wide scope and its impact on pharmaceutical, diagnostic, healthcare, agricultural, food and environmental sectors is continually on the rise. The objective of this course is to provide students with the skills, knowledge and experience that are needed to pursue a successful career in biotechnology.
M.Sc Microbiology

Hi, I know that people around the world want to know about biotech as a field and application of it, as we know that day by day population is increasing and soon we will without fuel, food and antibiotics, hence we need to find new and reliable resources that can fulfil our demands and needs. Heal the world:
Biotech is helping in healing the world by harnessing nature's own toolbox and using our own genetic makeup to heal and guidelines for research by:
Reducing rates of infectious disease;
Saving millions of children's lives;
Changing the odds of serious, life-threatening conditions Affecting millions around the world;
Tailoring treatments to individuals to minimize health risks and side effects;
Creating more precise tools for disease detection; and
Combating serious illnesses and everyday threats confronting the developing world. Fuel the world
Biotech uses biological processes such as fermentation and harnesses biocatalysts such as enzymes, yeast, and other microbes to become microscopic manufacturing plants. Biotech is helping to fuel the world by:
Streamlining the steps in chemical manufacturing processes by 80% or more. Lowering the temperature for cleaning clothes and potentially saving $4.1 billion annually. Improving manufacturing process efficiency to save 50% or more on operating costs. Reducing use of and reliance on petrochemicals. Using biofuels to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 52% or more. Decreasing water usage and waste generation. Tapping into the full potential of traditional biomass waste products. Feed the world
Biotech improves crop insect resistance, enhances crop herbicide tolerance and facilitates the use of more environmentally sustainable farming practices. Biotech is helping to feed the world by:
Generating higher crop yields with fewer inputs. Lowering volumes of agricultural chemicals required by crops-limiting the run-off of these products into the environment. Using biotech crops that need fewer applications of pesticides and that allow farmers to reduce tilling farmland.
