Biotechnology

For Biotechnology Engineering, last time (2016-17) out of 75 students who applied to placements, 65 students were placed meaning almost 90% placement for Biotechnology which is astonishing considering the fact many core Companies rolling out offers. The minimum salary offered was 3.5 LPA. The average salary was 7 LPA and the maximum salary was 18 LPA for biotechnology specialisation. All these figures pop out a good reputation at NIT-Warangal. A wide range of companies with diverse roles into research development and analytics like Biocon, Torrent Pharma, Nuziveedu seeds, Dr. Reddg laboratories, Aditya Birla Fertilizer, Glenmark, Brenntag, Sun pharma, Raymond, etc. Recruited students.

3- year undergraduate course, involving an advanced study of the cellular and biomolecular processes for the development of a variety of technologies and products that contribute to improving peoples lives and health. Successful graduates of the course are lucratively hired in both private and government sectors, with an initial average annual salary ranging between INR 2.5 and 7 Lacs, depending upon the candidate's expertise in the field. Eligibility for B.Sc. In biotechnology is the minimum aggregate score of 50% (45% for SC/ST candidates) at both Higher Secondary and Senior Secondary (classes X and XII levels. Biology, physics and chemistry as main subjects at 10+2 level, with a minimum aggregate score of 60% in these three. For admission to the course, eligible candidates are needed to qualify a relevant entrance examination, conducted at any of institute, state and national levels.

B.Tech course is the better option. Selection will be on the basis of the engineering entrance examination and marks obtained in Plus Two or equivalent examinations in Science subjects. Students who pass the qualifying examination with at least 50 per cent marks in mathematics and as much in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biotechnology, computer Science or biology taken together are eligible to take the entrance examination. A few universities offer a five-year integrated M.Sc. Biotechnology course for plus two students in the Science stream. The biotechnology industry is witnessing good growth worldwide. India will have a competitive advantage in the industry since it is knowledge-intensive. A biotechnologist, depending on the area of specialisation, can find jobs in biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies or in chemical, agricultural, and allied industries. Research institutes and laboratories provide good job opportunities for those with M.Tech and Ph.D. degrees. Teaching is a good option. Study of, and employment in, biotechnology is research-oriented. You can do biotechnology related courses from:
University of Hyderabad-School of Life Sciences, University of Mumbai-Institute of Chemical Technology, National Dairy Research Institute
