To get a good salary as a Food Technologist you should keep this points in mind:

• Prepare well in preservation and bacterial sciences. This is the sector where the maximum recruitment is done and if you have good knowledge you can get a good salary.
• Do your practical solely. As you know you are studying a application subject so you should have experiment to work in lab and lab environment.
• Get your spoken skill good (if not good)
• Try to analyze techniques rather than to memorize. In this field you will need a lot of common sense and quick decision making. So if you can build a good analyzation then you will surely land with a good salary package.

Hello Swara,

See you are comparing two different Professions with a different Profession. Textile Engineer is one who has pursued a Engineering degree. Most of the students belonging to Engineering branches can get into IT Company and chances of getting more scope for IT jobs if they have additional Certification or Programming courses in Programming or Software Technologies. It's because in their Engineering they have been taught basics of Programming Languages as well. The additional courses indicates that they too have some basic knowledge about Programming and can do job in IT sector like a Testing, Service line etc domains.

Students belonging to Engineering branches like Mechanical, Civil, Industrial Production, Biotechnology, etc are also getting jobs in IT Companies in same way Textile Engineers will also get job if they meet the eligibility criteria.

Coming to Food Technologist, want they study is different from Textile Engineer's education qualification. The subjects they study completely differs. The above scenario is mostly not possible with these candidates. That's why they are mostly not allowed fo work in IT Companies.

May this information was helpful to you.

Best of Luck!!

Hello

Hope you are doing good. There is nothing to be called easy or tough . It is you who decide which is easy. If you like computer related jobs or want to spent time with ocamputer in IT sectors you go for CSE. If you want to get involved with  food technology go with that.During the course you will  be trained and both the subject will be easy for you if you follow the syllabus .

Thank you.

Dear Aspirant,

BSc. in food Technology is a 4 year UG degree course. It is a branch of science involved with the production, processing , preservation ,labelling and quality management of food products .

The annual fee ramges from Rs.1LPA to 5 LPA . You need to give entrance exams to be enrolled for this program such as JEE,TANCET,WBJEE etc

Coming to your question with a masters degree in food technology you can become an engineer too . You will be required to plan , design , improve and maintain the processing systems .

NOTE: A food engineer is different from Food technologists. Food engineers deal with microbiology, applied physical sciences , chemistry and engineering for food and related industries.

The major problem for the Food Technologist is the number of job openings. See companies don't require Food Technology graduates in large workforce conditions. SO the recruitment is lower. Now the companies substitute the openings and opens it for the MSc Organic Chemistry/ Microbiology/Biochemistry graduates as well. So the competition increases but if you have good knowledge and you have learnt well, then you need not have to worry about this. Also the salary packages offered are usually not satisfying for the graduates in average.

So in general, there are no big issues all you need to do is to learn the skill well.

Dear Swara,

In order to become a good food technologist, you need to have completed a bachelor's degree in science with mainly food science and technology or nutrition from institute which conduct courses like B.E. or B.Sc. or B.Tech. Food Technology. Then you have to go for Masters Degree in M.E. or M.Sc. or PhD Food technology.

However Chemistry has major importance in Food Processing sector. Food chemistry is the study of chemical processes and interactions between all biological and non-biological components of foods. Food scientists work with the chemistry of ingredients in food to improve the quality and stability of the food. Moreover the scope of syllabus of food technologist involves Chemistry, food processing, food and vegetables processing and so on.

Hence it is advisable to grow interest in Chemistry, watch innovative videos regarding Chemistry experiments and then aim for being a good food technologist.

Hope it helps.
