Biotechnology Placement

Biotechnology is an interdisciplinary branch of science which is favorite among youngsters as it is providing ample opportunities for those who want to explore the new and advanced frontiers of science. It does not refer to a specific industry or job. The applications of Biotechnology is broad as it feeds to various industrial sectors like food, textiles, pharmaceutical, agriculture, animal husbandry and more.
Biotechnology includes several subjects apart from biology making it interdisciplinary. Along with the scientific part and engineering applications, biotechnology is giving rise to various new fields with humongous job opportunities. Being honest, let me tell you, the placements from biotechnology are not that good when compared to other branches. Biotechnology is the future, it is still developing whereas other branches are centuries old and well established. But if you are up for it, go for it.

Around 76% students get placed from the batch. The average package is about 6 lac per annum. But don't worry, it increases o0nce you in the room. If you are looking for more money, then go for non-core jobs.

Heritage College of Engineering, Kolkata is a very good college for biotechnology but the thing is that if placement is the sole criteria on which you want me to give analysis of the college, then I must tell you that the college is just an average college and you will be disappointed to know, almost 50-60% of the total batch of biotechnology students end up in IT companies, marketing firms, and banking sector jobs, where you would get nothing more than 4 LPA.
The thing for which the college is known for is, the faculty members or the professors here have earned a really good reputation in India as well as abroad and so if you think of doing M.Tech or MS from abroad, you really have a great chance of getting admission to some reputed foreign universities, with the help of the letters of recommendation that the faculty members of your college can provide you.
You cannot expect an average placement of more than 4-5 LPA in chemical department of HIT Kolkata, including the core companies.
