Hi Khushi,

Here are the basic differences between the both courses.

Biotechnology is the exploitation of biological processes for industrial and other purposes, especially the genetic manipulation of microorganisms for the production of antibiotics, hormones etc.,

Biomedical technology combines biology and medicine in order to focus on the  health og both humans and other organisms.

Biotechnlogy has areas of applications like healthcare, waste management, agriculture, pollution control, environment.One works with DNA, microorganisms, tissues, viruses and complex protiens.

Biomedical technology has application in vaccines, cloning, biofuels, enzymes and drugs. Areas  of employment include medical equipment manufacturing, research and health service.

salary is usually similar for both categories. Starting salary can be 25000-35000 per month in INDIA.

Course duration for both is 4 years only

Hope this helps

All the best

Hi Khushi,

If you're expecting a six-figure paycheck just after your graduation, then you're in for a disappointment. To get a decent-paying Job both Biotech and Biomedical, you'll have to go for higher studies, that is either do M.S or M.tech from a decent Institute. Plus in India, both these fields have slightly less opportunities. It's up to you to decide what you would want to study in the future as both these branches require hard work.

All the best
