Hi aspirant,

Do follow your passion.If you choose any of the course,there are opportunites like you can get into research field if you are too much interested.Whatever the course,if you are skilled enough,you have lot of opportunities.Learn more and enhance your knowledge.

Hello student

Agricultural biotechnology, also known as agritech, is an area of agricultural science involving the use of scientific tools and techniques, including genetic engineering, molecular markers, molecular diagnostics, vaccines, and tissue culture, to modify living organisms: plants, animals, and microorganisms. Agricultural biotechnology companies work to supply farmers with tools to increase the yield of plant and animal products, while lowering the costs of production. Agricultural biotechnology can also include production of plants such as orchids for ornamental purposes and plants that can be used for fuel production (biofuels).

Animal biotechnology is a branch of biotechnology in which molecular biology techniques are used to genetically engineer (i.e. modify the genome of) animals in order to improve their suitability for pharmaceutical, agricultural or industrial applications. Animal biotechnology has been used to produce genetically modified animals that synthesize therapeutic proteins, have improved growth rates or are resistant to disease. Animal health and efficiency in generating animal based products with a target to increase quantity as well as quality of such products is the ultimate motive behind scientific research. Animal biotechnology is the use of science and engineering to modify living organisms.

First we should keep in mind that the basic techniques of biotechnology is same for both medical biotechnology and plant biotechnology but in specialisation you get to learn some special techniques applicable for medical and plant background respectively. For example-

for medical biotechnology you will get strong hold on techniques like different kind of ELISA, kind of microscopy, flow cytometry, protein isolation and quantification,etc.

For plant biotechnology you will learn tissue culture, particle bombardment, etc.

Now coming to your question which have more scope, in my opinion plant biotechnology have equal scope in India and abroad but medical biotechnology have low scope in India but optimum in foreign countries like USA. This is keeping in mind you want to join industry. But if you want to continue in research both are equally good. You can even combine knowledge of both as done in production of various animal protein .

Hi,

Hello rishitha

You can get all the answer keys for previous year question papers for the entrance exam of animal Biotechnology at the website of igmlnet, you can search on google, also you can checkout on YouTube, there are different channels which solve the problems for the same and also give previous year answers.

You can also refer to sakshi education for the same.

I hope it helps

Best of luck
