Dear Mansi,

Biotechnology field is still developing in India. If we compare the scope of this branch with CSE and ECE then it has limited scope in terms of jobs and placements.

After completing your B.Tech in biotechnology you can go for pharmaceutical companies and research labs.

If you are going for this branch make sure you can take admissions in top colleges to get good teaching and placements.

Starting salary in this field for freshers is Rs. 20,000 per month. It can be vary based on skills, knowledge and college placements.

You can check the top colleges in this field below

Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee

Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

Indian Institutes of Technology, Guwahati

School of Life Sciences, University of Hyderabad, Hyderabad

Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology, Trivandrum, Kerala

School of Chemical and Biotechnology, Sastra University, Thanjavur

Good Luck!!

Biotechnology is a highly interdisciplinary field that combines biological sciences with engineering technologies to manipulate living organisms and biological systems to produce products that advances healthcare, medicine, agriculture, food, pharmaceuticals and environment control. Biotechnology can be classified into two broad categories: R&D in Biological Sciences and Industrial Processes. The biological sciences aspect deals with research and development in areas such as Microbiology, Cell biology, Genetics, Molecular Biology etc. for understanding the occurrence and treatment of diseases, development of agriculture, food production, protection of the environment and many more. Most of the R&D work in biological sciences is carried out in the laboratory. The industrial processes aspect deals with the production of drugs, vaccines, biofuels and pharmaceuticals on an industrial scale using biochemical processes and techniques.

Some of the best innovations and developments that have come out of Biotechnology and allied fields are: genomic sequencing technology, natural alternatives to pesticides, production of biofuels and developments in stem cells technology.

Hello Mansi Thakur. Thanks for contacting Careers360 and we hope we will be able to answer your query.

Note that bi otechnology is one of the courses where you can get an engineering or a science degree. If you are interested in higher studies and have the time and money to pursue your passion, this field can help you become an engineer as well as a scientist.

So, there is obviously a wide scope after studying B. Tech in Biotechnology.
