Hello candidate,

It is generally not possible to compare to varied and different streams such as mechanical engineering and biotechnology engineering because both the same have diverse fields of research interest and cope up with different kinds of tools for usage. If you are a student who is more inclined towards the mechanics important it between various machinery and equipments used in the modern world then you should paper mechanical engineering over biotechnology and if your someone who is more inclined towards biology then biotechnology would be more suitable for you. So, all depends on the the specific interest of the candidate.
