Biotechnology

Both courses have their own importance. Bachelors in Microbiology particularly focuses on specific subjects like microbiology, biochemistry etc. Whereas Bachelor's in biotechnology covers number of fields like food biotechnology, environmental biotechnology, genetic engineering, plant biotechnology, animal biotechnology, Analytical techniques & bioinformatics etc. Therefore, the job opportunities are more after B.Sc. In Biotechnology. Hence, to gain expertise in such emerging field, one must remain updated and have theoretical as well as practical knowledge of the subjects. In my views, the best college of Biotechnology in my area is PCTE College of Biotechnology situated in Ludhiana. PCTE provides practical exposure and interaction with various experts from academia as well as industry delegates. The placement record of PCTE is 100%. The Industrial visits conducted by PCTE College of Biotechnology helps the students to see and understand the subjects in detail while reading from books. So, according to me, if anyone is interested in getting into research or industrial jobs, one can opt for graduation in Biotechnology.

Both the streams are different. Biotechnology is a course that deals with plant biology, genetic engineering, modified and genetic food and crops, agriculture biotechnology and bioinformatics. On the other hand, CSE is a four-year engineering course that includes computer knowledge like computer languages, websites, designing new apps and new software. Both fields are good for bright future, but you have to find your interest in one of them. Job opportunities in both streams are good. Basically, if you want to go for any of the streams mentioned, most important is the choice of good college. Because any college that provides you more practical knowledge with academics is better than other ones. In my area, PCTE College of Biotechnology and Engineering is one of best colleges situated in Ludhiana. PCTE provides best facilities to students with practical exposure to every subject in CSE and Biotechnology like industrial visits to well known companies, guest lectures by experts of industries as well as academia. So, you can make your mind for any of streams mentioned, future in both streams is bright but your have to be updated with practical knowledge with academics.
