Hi Khushi,

Biotechnology is a highly interdisciplinary field that combines biological sciences with engineering technologies to manipulate living organisms and biological systems to produce products that advance healthcare, medicine, agriculture, food, pharmaceuticals and environment control.

B.Tech Biotechnology Vs B.Sc Biotechnology:

B.tech is a professional course and aims for Office jobs and a technically oriented career. whereas the B.Sc course aims for Research and development career and teaching jobs. 

B. Tech degree in Biotechnology encompasses both the biological sciences as well as the engineering aspect of Biotechnology. The B.Tech curriculum will cover life sciences subjects such as Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Cell Biology, etc and engineering subjects like Bioprocess Engineering, Biochemical Engineering, Thermodynamics, Mass Transfer, etc.

A B.Sc degree, on the other hand, focuses more on the biological sciences aspect of Biotechnology. Yes, there will be a few subjects related to industrial processes but the main emphasis will be on R&D in biological sciences fields such as Biochemistry, Plant and Animal Biotechnology, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, and Microbial Genetics, to name a few.

Finally, it's your decision and interest you choose the Course you are desired.

The colleges with better placements for B.Sc Biotechnology are:

• Christ University, Banglore
• Oxford College of Science, Banglore
• Elphinstone College, Mumbai

The colleges with better placements for B.Tech Biotechnology are:

• Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology(MNNIT), Allahabad
• Amity University, Noida
• Hindustan College of Science and Technology, Mathura

Hope you got your answer

All the best!
