So, yes its definitely a very good field but if and only if you are interested in the stream.
Yeah, B.Tech in Biotechnology is really good for those you aim to go for research or academics in future. Core prospects after Btech are not much in the BioTech sector after Undergraduate. But once you complete your Masters or Doctoral degree, you have a lot of options. You can even indulge in professional research with an organization like Biogene, Biocon, TCS Innovation, Dr Reddys or some National Laboratory or International Research Institution and do research in some of the most critical areas like Bioinformatics, Drug Design , BioMaterials and Genetics. There is perhaps no better year to unleash the importance of Biotechnology and Chemistry than the present Corona situation. You yourself can feel the importance and essence BioTech has in our day to day life.
