Both the courses have their own advantages. Microbiology is a specific and narrow field whereas Biotechnology is a vast interdisciplinary course covering various areas of applied Science including Cell biology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Plant biology, Animal cell culture, Stem cell technology, Bioinformatics etc. Microbiology can be considered as part or sub section of Biotechnology. Moreover, there are more job opportunities for Biotechnology graduates in biotech and pharmaceutical sector as compared to Microbiology which are very limited as subject area is very limited.

Hi
A lot depends on your interest of the subject because you can excel only if you are passionate about it. M.Sc. Biotechnology helps basic research in medical and agricultural sciences. Biotechnology has applications in the field of medical & veterinary sciences, chemical engineering, food and agriculture Science, pollution and environment protection, waste management. Chemistry has more scope than zoology and botany. If you want to pursue your career in teaching and in research then go for zoology and botany whereas in chemistry you have other scopes to work with Food manufacturing industries, chemical industries, pharmaceutical industries also teaching and research. The best for you would be to check the academic excellence of some good colleges like SASTRA, SRM, SNN, LPU and check the status of research and placements along with the syllabus. As I know LPU website clearly mentions the syllabus of these courses along with the scholarship and placement details, so you can have a detailed knowledge to decide correctly. Online admissions are fast taking place. So grab your seat !
