Biotechnology Engineering

Future of biotechnology:
How many of your family members exactly know about Biotechnology? Forget family members how many friends know about this field? Now I think you got the answer, this field is still unknown in our country. So we are discussing about the future of the field which even after more than 20 years in India have not been implemented at that level that it'll reach the common man. Although if you'll discuss about the outcomes like jobs in this field:
R & D of Life sciences companies and Pharma companies do need people of this field but some of biotech jobs still taken up by chemical engineers and B.Pharma people. Patent searching companies do need B.Tech/ M.Tech/Graduates/ Postgraduates in biotechnology for their life sciences teams. Academics which is the major sector for jobs in this field or any other field (Like JRFs, PhDs and scientists).
State councils of Science and Technology do have researcher positions. Environment organisations do have positions for government funded projects. Some of major private research companies also have jobs for biotech people.

As with all statistics, salary numbers can be deceiving. There are two reasons why the numbers below should be taken into context. First, biotechnology careers typically require a Bachelor's degree for entry, but the field is filled with people who also hold Masters and doctoral degrees.For instance, 45 percent of the biomedical engineers who responded to an O*NET survey said a Bachelor's degree was sufficient; thirty-five percent needed a Master's degree and a further 20 percent needed a doctorate. Those with advanced degrees typically have higher earning potential, which partially explains how some biomedical engineers can earn around $50,000 per year while others are clearing $140,000.
Second, there are multiple employers of the scientists listed below. Some of the most prominent are universities, which typically pay less than companies engaged in applied research. Companies make profits, which can be shared with employees; universities do not.

Hi
Both Mechatronics and Biotechnology are niche branches. But unfortunately, in India, we have less scope and opportunities. Unless you do these courses in very reputed institutes, you will not be placed in reputed companies. For mechatronics, opportunities are open in Army, Navy, Electronics, Automobile, Gas manufacturing and ISRO. This is a very niche branch and has a lot of career and education opportunities abroad. Biotechnology is more research oriented here also you need to go for post graduation in well reputed institutes to enhance and do the real job in the biotechnology field. Otherwise, we end up in doing a clerk jobs in service organizations. Mechatronics is a better option than biotechnology.
