Biotechnology career after 12th class - BSc or B.Tech - deepika choudhary - 01-15-2015 I have completed my 12th standard and wanted to know that is there is a scope of B.Tech in biotechnology or BSC in biotech. Which is a better option for my career and job future job prospects. In which industry there is a scope for me. Some colleges give B.Tech biotech + MBA degree, is this a good option in terms of job. Please provide good college names for both of them, and i also wanted to know how vast of a career option does it give. I am really confused please reply soon. heartiest regards thank you RE: Biotechnology career after 12th class - Administrator - 01-15-2015 Given a choice between B.Tech and BSC degree, B.Tech is far better. Do not expect great career prospects right after B.Tech ( job opportunities and salaries for B.Tech grads are not that good). You would need to appear for GATE and do M.Tech from a good college like the IIT's. There are research jobs available for in various companies after that. If you would like to go in teaching/college prof. line then completing Phd will be advised as well. But Biotech is a very upcomming sector. If you can finance your M.Tech in an overseas university then career prospects are a way lot better. Some Good colleges/Universities include - Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, Delhi, Roorkee, Guwahati, Warangal.. etc.. - NIT (National Institute of Technology, Warangal) - D Y Patil Vidyapeeth, Pune, - Osmania University, Hyderabad - SRM University, Chennai - Vellore Institute of Technology, Tamil Nadu - Amity University, Delhi - PES University - Anna University, Chennai - BIT Mesra - IIIT Hyderabad - Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, Delhi - PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore what to do after btech biotechnology? - deepika choudhary - 01-18-2015 sir, i have passed my 12 with subjects pcb so i want ur help to tell me that what to after btech in biotechnology(not maths) as some college provide both btech +mba and btech+mtech integrated course . But what is great choice in ur point of view in terms of job and as such career wise and some colleges also provide btech (medical biotechnology) plz tell me something about it and plz tell me it's future career prospectus for the same atully i do have intrest in medical thanku i appreciate ur soon rply heartiest regards btech+mtech or btech+mba - deepika choudhary - 01-20-2015 btech+mtech or btech+mba RE: Biotechnology career after 12th class - SunilNagpal - 01-21-2015 (01-18-2015, 10:32 PM)deepika choudhary Wrote: sir, Hi Deepika, First of all, really sorry for the delayed response. I will answer your query with some cross-questions. Your responses will help in giving proper suggestion. 1. You said that you have passed 12th. Does that mean that you passed in 2014 and you have dropped 1 year, and are yet to enrol for higher education? (I am assuming that you are yet to pass 12th PCB in March-April 2015 and shall need admission in some college by June-August 2015). 2. Assuming that you are yet to pass 12th, I'll recommend following options: a. Keep an eye on Competitive exams for admission in B.Tech (hope you applied for some in December; other are yet to come) b. B.Tech Biomedical, Bioinformatics, Biochemical, Food and Agricultural Biotech are hot fields and can offer good jobs. Amongst these, B.Tech Bioinfo will be most paying and will lead to easy job (big data is a big concern in DNA sequencing these days). Biomedical is more towards wet lab research, and in some colleges, you might need to go for hardcore mathematics courses to clear the credit requirements. c. If you are interested in Computers and it's applications, and at the same time love Biotech/Biology; then Bioinfo is the field for you. d. Avoid integrated courses! or frankly, DONOT GO FOR INTEGRATED COURSES. Some one specially spending 2 years for Masters is always preferred over an integrated course student. e. Go for B.Tech and in 4th year apply for GATE. Avoid MBA in Biotech, unless you get a brilliant college like NITIE or IIM. f. If you go for B.Tech in Biomedical, then best colleges for masters are IIT Kanpur, NITIE, IIT Bombay (all accept GATE score). Your future will be very bright (consultants in MNCs, researchers in foreign universities/MNCs) if you clear GATE and do masters in biomedical from these colleges. A PhD, as admin said, is always an option after B.Tech and Masters; but before that you need to make a wise decision in choosing correct subject and then aiming for correct exams for admission in Masters. For now: 1. Avoid integrated courses. 2. B.Tech in Biotech/Biomedical and Bioinfo are all good for job. Food and Agricultural Biotech is also good option. 3. Focus well on keeping your performance good in academics and try staying above 80% for a very successful career in Biotech. Hope it helps Best Sunil RE: Biotechnology career after 12th class - deepika choudhary - 01-21-2015 sir i'm already passed with 91% marks in my 12 board and i have taken 1 year drop for my mbbs preparations but now i guess it's not enough so i really appreciate your soon rply i just wanted to tell u that that i'm from PCB side i have'nt opt for maths so can i go for btech exams would you suggest me some colleges offering BTECH IN BIOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING and pls tell me something abou medical biotechnology pls sir rply soon bcoz i have not enough time thanku for you previous rply it helped me a lot heartiest regards thanku RE: Biotechnology career after 12th class - debram - 01-29-2015 Biotechnology is a field of study that combine topics related to Biology with Engineering, Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry. Biotechnology can be defined as utilization of the characteristics of life forms to manufacture required products. Since biotechnology is a research oriented field therefore research laboratories and institutes carry out most of the study. Biotechnology offers B. Tech, M. Tech and PhD courses. B. Tech is a four year undergraduate course in engineering that provides scope of acquiring required knowledge and skills in various field of biotechnology. Candidates who have fulfilled all the criteria of this course become capable of working in the area of pharmaceutical, food, bio-processing, bio-informatics and other associated industries. A large number of fields can be explored under the area of Biotechnology. Here are some of them:
Job opportunities There are many good job opportunities available after completing B.Tech Biotechnology. Ranked second following multimedia industry, Biotechnology is the sector with immense employment opportunities.
With completion of your B.Tech course, you become eligible for getting job in foremost Indian or multi-national companies. Some of the leading companies that recruit biotechnologists are Biocon India Limited, Hindustan Lever, Thapar Group, Indian Vaccines Corporation, IDPL, Sun Pharma, Hindustan Antibiotics, Cadila, Indo American Hybrid Seeds etc.

Higher education
With a post graduate degree in Biotechnology you can acquire comprehensive and thorough knowledge of the subject gain the confidence needed to accommodate to any job related to Biotechnology. After obtaining B.Tech in Biotechnology, you can opt for M.Tech (Biotechnology), MBA (Biotechnology) or M.Tech (Bio-Informatics). The field of Bioinformatics plays an important part in drug discovery where with the help of computers genetic and other biological information can be assembled, analysed, stored and integrated. MBA in Biotechnology furnish a comprehensive knowledge on application of management skills required in Biotech industries like pharmaceutical, chemical or allied industries.
Scope for Higher Studies following B.Tech in Biotechnology
In order to pursue Master of Technology or Master of Engineering courses after B. Tech in Biotechnology, qualifying the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is quite desirable for admission since almost every institute demand a GATE score.Following completion of this two year Master degree course, you can pursue Doctor of Philosophy(PhD) course in various discipline of biotechnology. Listed below are the various options of higher studies available following under graduation in Biotechnology:
A certificate course following completion of B. Tech in Biotechnology is often desirable for getting a job in the biotechnology sector. Here are some of the available certification courses:
