If you're choosing between a diploma in Biotechnology or Biomedical Engineering in Kerala, Biomedical Engineering is the more practical option in government colleges. Several government polytechnics across Kerala like in Thrissur, Kozhikode, and Idukki, offer this course at an affordable fee of around 7,000–8,000 for the whole year.

Admissions are based on 10th marks through DTE Kerala, and it opens doors for further studies or even B.Tech.Tech through lateral entry. On the other hand, diploma courses in Biotechnology are not commonly available in government institutions and are mostly offered by private colleges. So, if you're looking for a low-cost, career-focused option in a government setup, Biomedical Engineering is the better and more accessible choice in Kerala.

In Kerala, some government colleges offer diploma courses in Biomedical Engineering and a few options in Biotechnology, but Biotechnology diploma is not very common.

If you are looking for a diploma in Biomedical Engineering, you can get admission in some government polytechnic colleges in Kerala. These colleges include Government Polytechnic College Vechoochira, Model Polytechnic College Trikaripur, and EK Nayanar Memorial Model Polytechnic College Kalliasseri. These colleges are run by the Department of Technical Education, Kerala.

The course duration is usually 3 years. The yearly fee is around Rs 6000 to Rs 12000 depending on the college.

For a diploma in Biotechnology, there are very few government options in Kerala. Instead, B.Sc in Biotechnology is more commonly available in government degree colleges like St. Joseph's College, Irinjalakuda. Diploma-level Biotechnology is more common in private institutions.

So, if you are focusing on diploma courses in government colleges, Biomedical Engineering is a better choice in Kerala. If you want to study Biotechnology, it is better to go for B.Sc in a government degree college.

Hello aspirant,

Both Biotechnology and Biomedical Engineering diplomas are excellent choices. If you're more interested in healthcare technology, medical devices, and hospital equipment, go for Biomedical Engineering.

But if you prefer working with genetics, labs, or research, Biotechnology is ideal. In Kerala, government polytechnic colleges like Government Polytechnic College, Kalamassery and GPTC Kozhikode offer these courses. Admission is based on SSLC marks and goes through DTE Kerala centralized allotment. Fees are reasonable around 4,000 to 10,000 per year. Both fields have decent scope, but Biomedical has more direct hospital/medical industry roles, while Biotech may require higher studies for good opportunities.

All the best!
