Is biotechnology or biomedical engineering is good to choose
Dear Dhivyadharshini,
Biotechnology and Biomedical Engg overlap to a certain extent but they are not the same. The scope of both the fields in the future is high.
If you are particularly interested in Medicine, then I would suggest you take Biomedical which deals with innovations in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases with the application of knowledge in Biology, Materials, Processes, Informatics.
The average salary for a graduate in this field is INR 20,000-30,0000 for a fresher per month in India.
Otherwise, you can take Biotechnology that has got wider areas of applications such as in Environmental protection, health care, Agriculture, Mining, Food industrial processing by the application of Engineering and Technology for the benefit of living organisms and biological systems.
The average salary for a graduate in this field is INR 30,0000-35,000 for a fresher per month in India.
Hope this helps!
