Biotechnology Scope

Biotechnology has wide scope and has its own importance and need. You ll find many opportunities. Job depends how you did any biotechnology course and how much expertise you have in your subjects. Your mastery and your expertise in the field decide your growth. If you have good command over your subjects, you have sufficient Practical knowledge, you are good at soft skills then, nobody can stops you from getting a good job. Go for the college which are good in terms of education and placements. Biotechnology provides a firm basis for pursuing a career in any aspect of Science involving food, pharmaceutical or environmental sectors, molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, nanobiotechnology, use of microbes, DNA vaccines, production of new materials using new ideas, new drug-delivery systems, organ transplantation, rational drug design, nutraceuticals, plant-based drugs, enzyme engineering and technology, stem cell techniques, and tissue culture. Biotechnologists can find employment in a wide range of industries like food processing, breweries and pharmaceuticals. Also, the M.Sc. Degree is an acceptable qualification for applying for a Ph.D. Companies, Institutions and labs: Following is a list of companies, universities and research institutions that are renowned in India and worldwide for their work in Biotechnology and allied fields. Pharmaceuticals: Biocon, IFGL Bioceramics Limited, Orbees medical, Invitrogen, Glaxosmithkline, Reliance life sciences, CTS life sciences, Dr. Reddys labs, Cipla, Jubilant life sciences, Wockhardt, Torrent pharma, Cadila healthcare and Ranbaxy. Universities and research institutions: IISc, TIFR, JNU, LPU, DU, IITs and IISERs. Research institution: Center for Cell and Molecular Biology (CCMB), Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS), CSIR - Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (CSIR-IGIB), National Institute of Plant Genome Research (NIPGR), National Institute of Oceanography (NIO), National Brain Research Centre (NBRC), National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), National Chemical Laboratories (NCL), National Centre for Cell Science (NCCS), Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology ( RGCB), Institute of Microbial Technology (CSIR-IMTech), MS Swaminathan Research Foundation (MSSRF), National Institute of Immunology (NII), AU-KBC research centre.

Hi
Biotechnology course is all about using concepts of Biology for tweaking and modifying biological systems, cell structures, biological processes etc. So that they can be used in Engineering and Technology related applications to improve and enrich various sectors such as healthcare, food processing, agriculture, pharmaceuticals etc. And solve problems arising in these sectors. After a B.Tech degree, students can find jobs in pharmaceutical companies, research labs, biotech companies like Life Cell, Reliance Biotech, and many others and institutions in India. There are various industries that are engaged in developing and researching biological products and chemical industries. Besides, there is always demand for improvements in medicines and health products. Students in the research field tend to take up projects overseas, which is another lucrative option. Since India is still developing, it is highly recommended that you do your B.Tech in a reputed institution for good campus placements and job opportunities. If your university is not reputed, chances of any biotech company coming for placements will be zero. I would like to recommend you that you should pursue your B.Tech Biotech, from a well renowned, reputed nationally or state wise university, in which chances of any biotech or pharmaceutical company coming for placements sessions are higher as compare to the institute which is not that much well reputed and re renowned. I would like to recommend you some best universities for biotechnology course like:
Lovely Professional University- Punjab, Manav Rachna University, BITS Pilani, Delhi College of Engineering, VIT, Vellore, PSG Technology Coimbatore, National Institute of Engineering, Mysore, BIT Ranchi, NSIT, New Delhi etc. Few of these universities provides extensive learning programs and exposure to the students. They also provide worthy scholarships to its students depending upon the entrance test taken of the university or board result. These universities also offer various skill development programs, professional enhancement training and outstanding exposure to its students.

Bio-Technology covers a broader scope in natural sciences, while the principles of biomedical engineering mainly on medicine and engineering principles. Both are upcoming and promising fields that has significantly contributed and helped in improving the quality of life. Biomedical field is related to vaccines, agriculture, cloning, bio-fuels, industrial enzymes, and drugs. The areas of study covers the subjects like of genetics, microbiology, molecular and cell biology, biochemistry, etc. Bio-Technology has broad areas of application in the filed like health care, agriculture, environment, pollution control, waste management, mining, energy production, forestry and aquaculture and food industrial processing.

Hello dear,
Here, two of the best choice for you as B.Tech or B.Sc.
B.Tech degree in Biotechnology encompasses both the biological sciences as well as the engineering aspect of Biotechnology. The B.Tech curriculum will cover life sciences subjects such as Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Cell Biology, etc. and engineering subjects like Bioprocess Engineering, Biochemical Engineering, Thermodynamics, Mass Transfer etc.
A B.Sc degree on the other hand focuses more on the biological sciences aspect of Biotechnology. Yes, there will be a few subjects (1 or 2) related to industrial processes but the main emphasis will be on R&D in biological sciences fields such as Biochemistry, Plant and Animal Biotechnology, Microbiology, Molecular Biology and Microbial Genetics, to name a few.
There is no such thing as B.Tech being better than BSc or vice versa. Students must choose a course that aligns with their long term goals. Do you want to pursue a research career in areas such as Stem Cells, Genetic Engineering, Plant Biotechnology, Molecular Biology etc.? If yes, choose BSc/MSc Biotechnology or BSc Biotechnology and MSc in any specialized field of Biotechnology. You can later on pursue your PhD if interested.
If you want to keep your options open, then go for B.Tech Biotechnology. Many B.Tech students who do not find jobs in biotech sector shift to software, management etc. So, this is an added bonus for biotech students and this kind of transition will be tougher with a BSc and MSc degree in Biotechnology.
Scope of Biotechnology for B.Tech students:
Any student who is contemplating on pursuing a career in Biotechnology must be aware that this field is still developing in India. Therefore, the number of job openings and pay packages are both very low when compared with IT and CS fields.
After a B.Tech degree, students can find jobs in pharmaceutical companies, research labs and institutions in India. However, most Indian students tend to go abroad to pursue their masters or doctorate studies in Biotechnology and allied fields. Some students also shift to MBA and enter the world of business, finance and banking as their engineering background gives them the required quantitative skills to excel in these sectors.
