* According to my opinion, both the above universities have their own plus points & advantages in terms of providing with best education, infrastructure & positive atmosphere. But I personally feel & will strongly recommend to go for Btech Biotechnology in Thapar University as it is the best between the two according to me.

* Hope this information helps !!

* Good Luck !!

Hi,

Well it depends on what field you are interested in. If you want to pursue the academic field and want more exposure to the academic domain then I would suggest you to go for the B.Sc. in biotechnology course or if you want technical knowledge and  a professional degree then opt B. Tech. In terms of university both of them stand kind of like on the same level.

I hope this helps.

All the best.
