Biochemical Engineering Scope

Choice of B.Tech degree in Biochemical Engineering makes a lot of sense as being a combination of Engineering and Biotechnology it offers immense opportunities in numerous fields. Here are some exciting possibilities you can explore after graduating:

Further Education-

Master's Degree: To advance one’s career, one can consider enrolling for a Master of Science in Biochemical Engineering or Biotechnology or any related field to get a further degree and specialty.
MBA: MBA together with your degree in BTech would provide you with knowledge and skills in business management coupled with knowledge in the bio-industry that will make you the best person for management jobs.

Employment in Diverse Industries-

• Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology: This is something biochemical engineers can easily relate to. Career opportunities in this field can include fine-tuning pathways to manufacture drugs at various capacities, engineering structures known as bioreactors, or enhancing techniques commonly referred to as fermentation.
• Food and Beverage Industry: It is useful in food processing, providing solutions to methods of fermentations as in brewing or yogurt-making, food quality assurance or even creating new foods.
• Biofuels and Renewable Energy: Work towards India’s commitment of providing clean energy to its citizens by modeling and analyzing the bio-refineries for deriving fuel from agricultural residues or any other renewable feedstock.
• Chemicals and Petrochemicals: The rules of biochemical engineering can be useful to invent bio-similar materials for conventional chemicals, improve production cycles or design equipment for biochemical transformations.
• Environmental Engineering: Tackle the environmental problems by developing the processes to treat the wastewater, remove pollutants from the contaminated sites or to invent the environmentally friendly industrial processes to reduce amount of wastes produced.
