Hi Souren,

B.Tech. Biotechnology course is all about using concepts of Biology for tweaking and modifying biological systems, cell structures, biological processes etc.

Biotechnology is a rapidly developing field. Many private businesses are exploring this field and heavily investing in it. It is safe to say that there are ample job opportunities for B.E./B.Tech. Biotechnology Graduates in private sector. Government sector too offers job opportunities, but not in the scale in which private sector does. Average starting salary is generally between 2.4 to 5 Lakh Rupees per year.

Hope this helps
