Hey,

Biotechnology is a science-based on biology. Every life form is based on DNA. Biotechnology has many advantages in many areas. For instance, in the medical field, we can select the vitamins and minerals in order to boost the nutritional value of plants. Imagine a life where most of the foods we eat are filled with vitamins and minerals. Biotechnology is everywhere; it helps us improve our lives and leads us to a healthier world.

Scope of Biotechnology

B.Tech students contemplating on pursuing a career in Biotechnology must be aware that this field is still developing in our country and therefore job opportunities and pay packages are yet to boom in comparison to IT or Management sectors. After the B.Tech degree, students can find jobs in Pharmaceutical companies, research labs or Academic Institutions. Some students may also shift to MBA and enter the world of Business, Finance and Banking since their engineering background helps them with skills to shine in these sectors as well. Also many students shift to IT/ Software development through their on- campus placements. Since this field is highly research-oriented, vast and diverse, it is highly recommended that students should pursue their graduate studies in Biotechnology followed by higher studies in the same field for better job openings.

Hope it helps.
