Hello,

  • Biotech students have a vast scope as they can work in sectors of pharmaceuticals, agriculture, healthcare, food processing, nutrition, animal science, and environmental conservation. Not in terms of opportunities, even salary packages of biotechnology professionals are lucrative.
  • The scope of Biotechnology is wide and offers opportunities in the field of both research and engineering
  • You will have to put in a lot of hard work which can be frustrating at times.
  • This is not a profession for people who want to make fast buck but for people who are looking for a long and a well charted career.
  • The testing and interviewing processes usually are difficult and one has to be technically expert.


Whereas in genetic engineering:

  • After pursuing courses in genetic engineering, you can work in medical and pharmaceutical industries, research and development departments, agricultural sector, genetic engineering firms, chemical companies, etc.
  • You can pursue the bachelor, master & a doctoral degree in this field. It is important for the study of microbiology, cell biology, Bio-Technology & biochemistry.
  • Genetic engineering involves organisms manipulation of genes using biotechnology.
  • To be a genetic engineer a strong understanding of scientific methods, critical thinking, analytical, mathematical, problem-solving skills and the ability to use graphics, photo imaging, etc. Are required.

In my opinion BTech in Biontech has more scope.

Hello,


In my opinion, Genetic engineering has more options than biotechnology.Genetic engineering is a field that deals in study of Genes and DNA.
Genetic engineering is applied in various fields like research,agriculture, industrial biotechnology, and medicine. The mains focus of Genetic engineering is on biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, evolutionary biology, and medical genetics.Basically its a process of manually adding new DNA to a living organism through artificial methods.
But its all about your interest, genetic engineering has lot of scope in government and private sector but if you are interested in research then you can choose Biotechnology.

I hope this helps.
