See Food Technology is an applied interdisciplinary field. Although it has industrial need but it have lower placements. As you aren't concerned about that, I would say IIT KGP will be a better choice for you. The institute have good faculties in this field with good research experiences. The infrastructure & the quality of education are just amazing there. IIT GUWAHATI is also good, but from the academic criterion, it don't have that much of field experts as IIT KGP. The lab infrastructure are better in IIT Guwahati but the applied field structure of curriculum are very well designed in IIT KGP. So I would recommend you to go for the IIT KGP for Food Technology.

Hello,

Both the courses are demanding and have numerous career opportunities. Based on placement, food technology is better than BAMS.  But the requirement of students is higher in BAMS colleges. The salary of a BAMS doctor in India ranges from INR 0.7LPA to 8LPA. The average salary of a BAMS doctor is INR 4LPA. The average salary for food technology in India is INR 4LPA.

For a food technologist, the initial salary is INR 3LPA.

For a quality manager, the average salary is INR 5LPA.

For a nutritional therapist, the average salary is INR 3LPA.

Hope you have got answers to your question. Thank you.

Hello Subbu,

Food processing is considered as a lower branch in all the colleges and if seen from the practical aspect , in india there is very less scope in the food processing stream or in the horeca buisness.

If you want to pursue this career then i would recommend you to kindly look for abroad colleges for your post graduation and if possible kindly change your branch.

But also keep in mind if you are not able to change your branch then it doesn't mean it's a waste doing this degree. After all you are in iit and there are many companies which allows for non core stream even from this branch.

Hi Aspirant,

Hope you are doing great.

I am sharing with you the eligibility criteria and admission process of IIT Kharagpur for MTech in food processing.

Eligibility criteria is that you must have passed Bachelor's Degree in Engineering/Technology/Architecture/M.Sc or equivalent professional degrees (AMIE etc.) and having a valid GATE score. You need to make sure that your GATE marks are above the cut-off marks of your category and GATE paper.

Admission is based on gate score or gate score( 70% weightage) and then a personal interview round. A personal interview is necessary because it tests motivation and aptitude for the Programme, suitability for the department/center, Skills in basic science, engineering, and relevant areas. And one more thing is that the personal interview will be conducted at IIT Kharagpur only.

Hope this helps.

As of today's world, anyone can teach online after completing some basic graduation . Even on YouTube, some people who have just entered into an Undergraduate course, have started teaching their juniors, and able to earn via YouTube ADSense. So, for such online teaching, there is no specific degree required. Even platforms like Unacademy are inviting those (irrespective of your educational qualifications) to teach who have teaching as a passion. Plus since you have done BTech, you can easily teach Class 12 Students or Biology to NEET UG Aspirants.

However, the above mentioned online teaching, has cons as well - you cannot guarantee that you will get many students and you will be earning as per your needs. No doubt, some teachers have become famous by teaching online, but not everyone has been able to achieve the same.

So, I would suggest you to complete your masters (M.Tech) first. Crack GATE with a good rank and take admissions in good institute. After that you can easily get teaching jobs and would be able to teach B.Tech students as well (Remember: A B.Tech graduate cannot teach B.Tech students as per AICTE rule).
