BSc Biotechnology is 3 years (six semesters) and BTech Biotechnology is 4 years (8 semesters). Comparatively, BSc Biotechnology is much more relaxed than BTech, the number of coursework and lab work will be less and you will be introduced to the core subjects right from the first year whereas in BTech 1st year will have common engineering coursework (Refer any university syllabus) with very little or no core subjects.

From 2nd year there will be 6 or 7 coursework and 3 or 4 lab works to complete in each semester. This can change from one university to another but it won't be less than that. Most BSc courses may not include chemical
