Coming to your question of the advantages and disadvantages of doing biotechnology in LPU... I would to answer this question on the basis of reviews by some friends in my circle.

The Biotechnology school of LPU is one of the best in Punjab. The school of Bioengineering and Biosciences is equipped with state of art bioprocess engineering and biosciences labs. These labs help the students to gain a practical knowledge and mastery in the field of animal and plant physiology.The faculty here is very experienced in the fields of medicine,forensic, nutrition and dietetics.

Here, you would find a commitment to innovation and and ultimate learning experience there are also guest lectures from experts and field visits which help the student to gain indepth knowledge of the subject.

LPUs biotech program is an Engineering program that seamlessly articulates the concepts from basic science to technology with relevant practice through lab and projects on biotechnology for building the problem-solving skills, keeping industry requirements in place. The course has a vast scope and after doing the course you can become -

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
