Hello Rohan,
By scope, you mean employment opportunities, I suppose. Well, there is very little scope in India for such specialisations. India is still a developing country and at nascent stage as far as research in life sciences is concerned. You may get jobs in research and development but the initial pay will be quite low. It may take you 4-5 years to get a decent pay package. The condition abroad is far better.
All the best.

Both micro and biotechnology are deep biology. Biotechnology is more research based. Microbiology is also research based but there is one difference that microbiology students can easily get a job in comparison to biotechnology students.
If you have resources, only then you should opt for biotechnology else you can pursue Masters in microbiology.

There is no scope in India, but in Dubai it has great scope.
