Dear Aspirant
Developments are taking place in the field of biotechnology rapidly. There are ample job opportunities for you if you have done your B.tech in biotechnology. Some of the career options are:
IT jobs
Drug and pharmaceutical research
Public funding
Environment control
Bio-processing industries
Biotechnologist
Private jobs ; You can apply for companies like Dabur, Hindustan lever, Cipla, Rossari biotech india Pvt. Ltd and Hindustan antibiotics.
Bsc agriculture
Recruitment wise Ag is better. UPPSC advertises for Bsc Ag passouts throughout the year. Btech biotech will bring you no govt. job.
Like IT and pharma, Ag has its niche market which is well established isolated and broad. Sales opportunity in Ag sector is better
To sum up, if one wants to do research to discover something new then biotech is better but for that Btech/ Mtech won't suffice, PhD is the way. For employability Ag is better.
Hope this helps
