Hello Aspirant,

There are many differences between B.Tech biotechnology and B.Sc Biotechnology. B.Tech is a 4 years course while B.Sc is a 3 years course.

In B.Tech Biotechnology you will learn about other branches of engineering also in your first year whereas in B.Sc biotechnology you will directly learn about your core subjects. Of course you will also get exposure about other science subjects but your course will have maximum papers from your honours paper. In B.Tech biotechnology the main subjects start from second year and you will have a lot of laboratory work and more subjects. Biochemistry would be an important paper and you will also have to deal with many Differential equations. On the contrary in B.Sc biotechnology you will have a relaxed schedule and less laboratory work as compared to B.Tech. In B.Tech, application of whatever is being taught is given more inportance while in B.Sc biotechnology theoretical part is given more importance.

I would suggest you to go for btech because
B.Tech has an edge over B.Sc because it is considered at par with M.Sc. One can directly even go for Phd even after B.Tech but this is not the case with B.Sc. One has to do M.Sc after B.Sc. in order to get in PhD.



These are some B.Sc Biotechnology jobs-

Lab technician

Project manager

Teacher

Microbiologist

Bio production Operator


These are some jobs after b.tech Biotechnology


Clinical Researchers

Pharmacist

Professional lab technician

Medical writing executive


Good luck
