Hello Jahnavi,

Biotechnology is a broad area of biology, involving the use of living systems and organisms to develop or make products. Depending on the tools and applications, it often overlaps with related scientific fields.

Now to answer your question Yes, it is possible to do m.tech in biotechnology after b.tech in chemical engineering, Just you need to qualify Gate entrance exam in biotechnology with valid score to pursue m.tech course.

Hope this will help you a lot,

Thank you.

Hello Aspirant,

Yes you can do Biotechnology in Mtech after doing Chemical engineering in B Tech. But you need to write Bio Technology GATE paper in order to get into IIT / NIT/ IISC/ Other private institutes. But some iits don't allow crossover. 

And in order to study bio technology in M Tech you need to have a basic knowledge on it and some feel difficult to understand as a whole with out any basics in UG. 

Hope this will help you. Good Luck.

Dear Aspirant 

Yes definitely you can study biotechnology in m.tech even if you had study B.tech in chemical engineering because there are rules that you can change your branch for M.tech other than that you have studied in your bachelor of engineering. 

Good luck for your future :) 

Feel free to ask if you have any further queries.
