Hello

An MBBS degree is an undergraduate course after the completion of which you become a doctor. It is a professional degree in medical science. A person holding the MBBS degree becomes a certified medical practitioner. The duration of MBBS course is five years and six months including one year of rotational internship at hospitals, health centres etc .
Whereas ,Biotechnology engineering is the study, research and development of bio-organism, micro-organism and cell functions in living beings, after the completion of the course you can work as laboratory technicians in various research centres, hospitals, healthcare centres and universities. It is 4 year long course. Also pharmaceutical companies hire postgraduates in biotechnology as research scientists.
After mbbs you can treat a patient and help him in getting rid of disease but after completing Biotechnology you cannot practice as a doctor.
So , both are very different.

Thank you
