Dear Aspirant ,

There is no specific Disadvantage of studying BSC Biotechnology in LPU but , The disadvantage of this field is the limited number of companies employing biotechnologist as compared to the huge number of IT companies ready to absorb the computer science pass outs. So, you will have to really work hard to crack the interviews and tests to prove your worth. Also, the number of seats in biotechnology courses is  limited as compared to other traditional streams.

Hope it works ,

Good Luck
