B.Sc Biotechnology

As fancy as a course of biotechnology sounds, what most colleges/universities offer in the name of biotechnology is life sciences. Yes, you heard that right. Biotechnology= Life sciences with a special focus on applied techniques like PCR, Western blot etc. (I. e. if you join a really reputed college). And that is not a bad thing. For e. g. in St. Xaviers Kolkata, you would study genetics, cell Biology bioinformatics, enzymology, immunology, ecology and evolution etc. In the Biotech integrated course. It gives you a broad perspective on a lot of subjects. Now that I have laid the groundwork, lets answer your first question:
You should continue with biotechnology because it gives you knowledge about a wide range of field. In case you want to pursue Ph.D. afterwards, it will help you to figure out what you actually like. It also acquaints you with a wide variety of applied lab techniques like PCR, mass spectroscopy, Western Blot, Northern Blot etc. This will help you if you want to join a company like Biocon. Besides, specific courses like Genetics, Molecular Biology biomedicine or any other course has the same practical course, so why limit yourself to one subject when you can broaden your knowledge. As for your second question, M.Sc. And MS are the same degrees with different names, at least in India. M.Sc. Is the name of the degree in India. A lot of Indian institutes like IISERs also use the name of the degree as MS. The degree might vary in other countries. In USA, MS means you are a Masters in engineering sciences. But in UK, its meaning is same as that in India. So in Indian context, there is no difference between the two. So there is no better option.

Both courses are good but Agriculture is less Competitive field and comparatively opportunities are more considering that we are primarily an agricultural country. A very small percentage of our students opt for an agricultural major, only because they don't realize its potential. One basic advantage that agriculture has over other sectors: other industries might need down-sizing, but feeding the world is a job that isn't ever going to face recession. Most students are well aware of the streams like engineering and medicine, and post-graduate degrees like the MBA. But you may have not given any thought to a B.Sc. In Agriculture. The demand for trained professionals in the field of agriculture is high. The course fee is negligible. It is four years undergraduate Bachelor degree programme which generally includes agriculture Science, use of modern scientific equipment and techniques in agriculture, land surveying, soil Science, water resource management, animal and poultry management, basics of biotechnology etc. The aim of the programme is to train students improve agriculture productivity, manage products and contribute to future development of the sector through research activities. There are plenty of government as well as private sector jobs available for B.Sc. Agriculture graduates. They can be appointed as Research Officer, Quality Assurance Officer, Agriculture Officer, Agriculture Loan Officer (in Banks), Production Manager, Operations Manager and Farm Manager with State agriculture departments. In the private sector agriculture Science graduates may find jobs as managers at plantations, as officers at fertilizer manufacturing firms, agriculture machinery industries, agricultural products marketing firms, food processing units etc. The average starting salary of these officers is generally between 5 to 6 Lacs per annum (Including Incentive). I am enlisting a few good college for B.Sc. The colleges are:

Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya
Mewar University
Lovely Professional University Punjab
Anna University
Acharya Ngranga Agricultural University Hyderabad
Govind Ballabh Pant University Of Agriculture And Technology, Pantnagar
Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth Puneoknete
Mohanrao Kadam College Of Agriculture Sanglisardar
Bharati vidyapeeth university Pune.

Hi, you should go with M.Sc. Biotechnology. Let us first discuss the scope after M.Sc. Biotechnology. Postgraduates of the course are hired successfully in the fields of Medical Biotechnology and Agricultural Biotechnology. Medical Biotechnology is an emerging sector in India, and accounts for nearly 70% of the total revenue of the biotech sectors. In-Demand Biotechnology Careers
Biomedical Engineer. Biochemist. Medical Scientist. Biological/Clinical Technician. Microbiologist. Process Development Scientist. Manufacturing Specialists. Business Development Manager. In LPU, M.Sc. Biotechnology, a four-semester programme, to enable graduate students to pursue doctoral studies or professional employment, through imparting in depth knowledge in specific domain of Biotechnology along with three semester independent research project leading to dissertation. Eligibility Criteria (Qualifying Exam) is that candidates must be Pass with 60% aggregate marks in Bachelor's degree (Applied Medical Science or Medical Science and Allied Medical or Agriculture or Nanotechnology or Biosciences or Life Sciences or Food Sciences or Veterinary Microbiology and Parasitology or Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology or Public Health and Allied Sciences or Plant Science) or equivalent. (5% relaxation to Northeast states and Sikkim candidates/ Defence Personnel and their Dependents/ Wards of Kashmir Migrants). In LPU, allow students to develop specific credentials and value package for a chosen career. Candidates can go corporate jobs. # FOOD AND DRUG TESTING LABORATORY
