Biotechnology

B.Tech Biotech is more of a professional degree than just a B.Sc. Biotech degree. After a B.Tech degree, students can find jobs in pharmaceutical companies, research labs and institutions in India. However, most students tend to go abroad to pursue their master's or doctorate studies in biotechnology and allied fields. The course of B.Sc. Biotechnology is of 3 years while that of B.Tech Biotechnology extends over a span of 4 years. LPU provides both B.Sc. And B.Tech degree in Biotechnology
LPU Biotechnology school is One of India's Best Biotechnology college in Punjab, LPU School of Bioengineering and Biosciences is equipped with state-of-the-art Bioprocess Engineering and Bioscience labs and believes in imparting knowledge to students through a practical approach to achieve mastery in plant and animal physiology. The faculty at LPU works hard tirelessly in enabling students with the acumen to apply the findings of Biosciences in the fields of medicine, forensics, nutrition and dietetics for the benefit of the community. Few of the major highlights are :
1. LPU school of biotechnology provides an ultimate learning experience with a commitment to innovation. Various guest lecturers from experts and field visits are organized by the school.
2. The school encourages R & D activities for students to get the benefit. Many students from LPU have successfully collaborated with foreign universities and research institutions. The dept. Also inculcates entrepreneurship opportunities to build job providers of the future.
3. Instill advanced knowledge in the major areas of Biotechnology such as Animal Tissue Culture, Plant Tissue Culture, Microbiology, Genetics an Bioinformatics.
4. Training, projects, and guest lecturers collaborated with industries help to learn from real-life situations.

You need a minimum of M.Sc/ M.Tech to get an entry level job. As biotechnology syllabi in most colleges include most of the topics taught in life sciences, you should find it relatively easier to choose and Excel in any field you do your M.Sc in. The hottest fields right now are molecular biology, computational biology, biochemistry, genetics etc. You can also apply for Pharma. You can also study law, specialising in bioethics. It is a 4 year course, as far as I know, though you might want to research on that a bit. An M.Sc +B.Ed degree will also make you eligible to teach in schools or lecturers in a college (small colleges, only. As most central level universities ask for PhD). Edit: If you are interested in the academic field and research, a minimum of PhD is required. So you have to commit yourself to a long haul then. M.Sc+PhD which will take anywhere from 68 years.
